Ep 2. Cleanse, Detox, Hurt: The Allure of Unhealthily Strict Diets to the Ascetic Yogi Psyche

Why is juice cleansing so popular in yoga culture? In this solo episode I take a deep dive and try to answer this question.

I also give a crash course in how detoxification actually works, and what you can do to support your body's detoxification processes without starving yourself.

In this episode:
  • What is juice cleansing? How it’s marketed vs. what’s actually going on
  • Why it’s so popular in yoga culture
  • How tapas and saucha may underlie and amplify the tendency towards spiritually-endorsed disordered eating and body dysmorphia
  • Ayurveda and juice cleansing
  • Disordered eating and eating disorders in Yogaland
  • My personal experiences with harsh yoga practices, fasting and orthorexia
  • The physiology of detoxification and how juice cleanses impede this
  • Why those initial “detox symptoms” and later, that feeling of “energised bliss” occur on a juice cleanse (it’s not what you think)
  • What you can do to safely support detoxification (if you wish to do so)
  • The next level of cray: water fasting in yoga circles

Introducing the Non-Diet Yogi Podcast!

Errrrmaghaaad so it's finally happening.. I've released the first episode of my new podcast!

I warmly invite you to gather your earholes and tune in to the Non-Diet Yogi Podcast, where we explore yoga, earth-based living and gentle nutrition through a non-diet lens. 
 
We will explore the wonderful, wacky and sometimes worrying places where the yoga world and diet culture overlap, as well as exploring how social justice, feminism, motherhood and bunch of other things all jive together within the Yogaland/diet culture Venn diagram.

In this episode:
  • Why this podcast needs to exist
  • Creating a podcast as a mum
  • A bit about me, including my personal and professional experiences with disordered eating and yoga culture
  • Why living and working on the Gold Coast (the L.A. of Australia!) was the perfect petri dish for developing Non-Diet Yogi
  • The need for the non-diet approach in the natural medicine sphere, and vice versa

Having been a guest on a couple of fantastic anti-diet podcasts myself, I am excited (and shitting myself just a tad) to join some of the great minds floating around in the Podosphere. My wish is to bring the non-diet approach, Health at Every Size and social justice savvy to the yoga and "wellness" space where I believe it is sorely needed.

​I hope you enjoy!!
