Obesogenic Environments, Food Deserts & Evidence Based Health With Callum Weir & Terri Chrisman

🎙 Can Small Changes Actually Save Your Health?

Terri Chrisman on Food Culture, Diet Myths & Lasting Wellbeing

What happens when you stop chasing perfection and start building real health in an imperfect world?

In this episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast, I sit down with Terri Chrisman, author of Fabulous Health, nutritionist, and lifestyle medicine expert to unpack the environmental, emotional, and cultural barriers that keep people stuck in toxic health cycles… and how we change that, one habit at a time.

We talk about everything from obesogenic environments and food deserts to the Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine and Terri’s experience being put on a diet at just 4 years old. It’s an honest, often surprising conversation about what actually improves health outcomes and what just sells.

Terri believes health should be accessible, not aspirational and her practical, science-backed approach helps cut through the noise for anyone ready to change their habits without burning out.

🔥 In this episode we explore:
✅ The truth about obesogenic environments and why motivation isn't the problem
✅ What the Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine actually look like day-to-day
✅ How ultra-processed food culture shapes our behaviours (and how to resist it)
✅ Why food deserts are growing even in wealthy countries
✅ Terri’s experience with diet culture starting at 4 years old
✅ Simple daily actions that create better health outcomes over time
✅ How to eat for real health without counting calories or chasing trends
✅ The psychology of lasting habit change and how to overcome resistance
✅ Why your environment matters more than your willpower
✅ The real reason most people don’t stick to “healthy eating”

Whether you’re sick of diet culture, trying to improve your health over 50, or just want a clearer, calmer relationship with food this episode is packed with insight, humour, and actual tools you can use today.
