Hally® Healthcast is the wellness podcast from Hally® health – your partner in helping you live your healthiest life.
Today we’re talking about body image – specifically, how to help ourselves and our loved ones develop a healthier way to think about our bodies and how they look. The modern culture around us – on TV, in movies, on social media and beyond – bombards us with images of bodies whose shapes are, to be quite honest, quite unlike the average, real-life person. And the quest to look like these celebrity bodies can be quite unhealthy, both for our physical and mental well-being.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month – a perfect time to talk about body image and its effect on our mental well-being. Here with us are two experts. Melissa Smith is a registered dietitian nutritionist and licensed dietitian nutritionist. She’s the director of Nutrition and Behavioral Health for Milestones Nutrition and Behavioral Health, a service of the Stephens Family YMCA in Champaign, Illinois. And Dana Baker is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and mental health therapist, also for Milestones Nutrition and Behavioral Health at the Y.
