1. You have more energy for the stuff that matters.

This is the biggest and best reason to give up diet culture. Quite simply, when you give it up, you better align with your soul purpose because all of that energy that was going to dieting, restricting, and obsessing? Well, it can go to much more important things — like fighting for racial equality, having courageous conversations with loved ones, and showing up in ways that the world needs us to now more than ever.

2. Ordering food (and eating it) is fun.

Between postpartum hair loss (six times!) and Hashimoto’s, I saw too much hair go down the drain in the past. I use castor oil for hair growth and this hair growth serum, but there’s a lot more to how to stop thinning hair. Here I cover how to care for thin hair and encourage hair growth.
