Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Change Your Relationship with Food, the podcast hosted by Kyla Holley. With extensive experience as an eating disorder and bariatric therapist, Kyla is here to help you develop a healthier relationship with food. Don't forget to follow the podcast to stay updated!
In this episode, Kyla delves into the startling statistics surrounding mental health medication prescriptions across the US, UK, and Australia. With figures showing a significant number of people on antidepressants and anxiety medications, Kyla questions the effectiveness of these drugs and explores the possibility of alternative solutions.
Kyla discusses the long-standing belief in the chemical imbalance theory of depression and the recent research that challenges this notion. She shares a compelling story about a patient who had been on antidepressants for 35 years without any therapy, sparking a conversation on the importance of addressing the root causes of mental health issues.
Drawing parallels to diet culture, Kyla examines why quick fixes like diets and medications often fail to address underlying problems. She encourages listeners to take a step back and consider long-term, sustainable changes to improve their relationship with food and overall well-being.
Join Kyla as she provides actionable insights and emphasizes the importance of understanding the "why" behind our behaviors. Whether you're struggling with mental health, diet culture, or both, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on finding lasting solutions.
