Summary

Phillippa Diedrichs is a Professor of Psychology and body image and mental health expert. She works at the Centre for Appearance Research and has spent the last 20 years studying body confidence - what influences how we think and feel about how we look and what we can do as a society to create an environment where we can accept and love our bodies.

She also works with brands and organisations within the beauty and fitness industries to help them think about what they put out into the world, and how they can be part of the solution to help create a world that is accepting of bodies of all sizes.

This series grew so much bigger than we ever expected it to be thanks to the amazing insights our guests gave us - so we decided to release some of those expert conversations in their entirely. Each Thursday, you will hear an in depth conversation which will drill down into different themes which we will explore across the eight weeks of this series. This is the first of those conversations and we hope you love it.

0:00.0	This podcast is brought to you by Simprove, the UK's number one gut health supplement, backed by
0:06.1	science and loved by thousands, including me. Anyone who follows me on Instagram will know I've
0:10.9	been taking Simprove for years and credited with improving so much of my physical health. It's
0:15.8	also been a non-negotiable for me during this pregnancy, but also for the years before it too. It really has.
0:22.7	You've struggled to get and keep much down you, but I know that Sim Proof has been super important.
0:28.1	And for good reason, Sim Prove is science-backed, water-based, and is the UK's number one gut
0:33.6	health supplement. Also, I know you just love the brand and I'll never forget when you
0:38.1	worked with them a few years ago and literally wore a dress solely made of toilet roll
0:42.4	strutting down your street in the middle of the day. Oh, and didn't you do something with a
0:47.6	toilet in the middle of the road? Yes, yes, I did. I actually bought a porcelain toilet and sat
0:52.7	on the loo in the middle of the road to raise awareness of gut health,
0:56.1	literally stopping traffic.
0:58.4	Can I just ask, were your trousers up or down around your ankles?
1:02.1	They were down now, as they have to be.
1:04.1	But it's actually so important.
1:06.1	It contains live and active bacteria, and it's science-backed by over 15 years of independent scientific research
1:13.4	at leading UK universities. And it's so easy to take. You just take the shot in the morning
1:18.2	and wait 10 minutes before drinking a cup of tea or before you have breakfast to allow the bacteria
1:23.1	to get to work. If you want to try to improve for yourself, you can and you don't even need to take
1:27.9	your trousers down. We have a discount code for you to use. It's Delete 50 to get 50% of your
1:34.9	first 12-week rolling subscription. Link in the episode description. That's Delete 50. Enjoy.
