Monique's video: Breaking the Stigma of Antidepressants Anti-Diet Culture with @beetsbybrooke

I have Brooklyne Palmer of Beets By Brooke on the podcast for an important conversation about true health and wellness, nutrition, anti-diet culture, and mental health in the black community. Brooklynne Palmer is a vegan medical student and social media content creator who uses her platform to explore the intersectionality of all things health and wellness while sharing insights into her life as a future plant based doctor. In this conversation, she dives deep into why diet culture is set up to fail people (did you know the biggest risk factor of weight gain is DIETING??) and how dieting puts blame on individuals instead of the systems that make true health and wellness feel impossible. This episode is energetic, lively, and still full of life-changing information and perspectives for y’all. I’m most excited to share the conversation we have about anti-depressants and the stigma around them, while responsibly sharing both of our experiences on the benefits of taking medication for anxiety/depression.
