On this episode of That’s Rad, host Anastasia sits down with Kelsey McCullough, Registered Dietitian and owner of the 21st Century R.D., to have an honest conversation about how our relationship with food and our bodies is not always as positive as we project it to be on our social media feeds. The truth is many people struggle with being comfortable in their body–and Anastasia and Kelsey dive into some of the reasons why. They discuss how diet culture has now become almost inseparable from American culture, and how that affects our perceptions of ourselves, each other, and the food we eat. They also discuss the prominence of disordered eating and some of the different forms eating disorders can take. **Listener discretion is advised as the content of this episode discusses diet culture, fad diets, obesity, BMIs, weight loss, eating disorders, and other sensitive subjects.** If you or someone you know is struggling, please call the NEDA Hotline (800) 931-2237 or visit https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/.

Surprise! That's Rad produced our first ever "prank episode" this year in honor of April Fool's Day. If you want a guaranteed laugh this is the place to be! Listen to the story of how our intrepid podcast host Anastasia is taken by local organic aliens, and humble cashier Bob has to step up to the plate and host the podcast. There's mad dashing across the store, thought-provoking guest star interviews, and some fresh and funky new tunes to add to your playlist. But beware -- everything is not as it seems...Remember; April Fools Day is a state of mind, meaning you can also send this to a friend and give them their daily jump-scare. Enjoy!
