Our guest this week is Dr Alexis Conason. A New York-based clinical psychologist, Alexis specialises in the treatment of eating disorders – often overeating related - which she carries out alongside her extensive research into body image, overeating behaviours, and so much more. Passionate about weight-inclusive care, Alexis founded The Anti-Diet Plan in 2018, a programme designed to help people embrace a mindful, peaceful and compassionate approach to eating and body respect, and is very shortly releasing her new book: The Diet-Free Revolution (sponsor of this Season, no less).

In this episode, we talk about the impact Alexis sees in her patients of weight stigma, how it affects our mental and physical health, and what can (and should) be done differently when it comes to medical professionals engaging in conversations around weight and health. Alexis graciously talks us through her soon-to-be-released new book The Diet-Free Revolution, shares her own journey to discovering Health At Every Size, and answers one of the most important but often unasked questions in this space - what is a diet?
