Mckenzie Caldwell MPH, RDN joins us on the show today. She is a Charlotte, NC-based dietitian and owner of the private practice Feed Your Zest Nutrition and Wellness. On this episode we talk about how Mckenzie decided to focus on weight neutral care to birthing parents along the spectrum of trying to conceive, fertility, pregnancy, complications with pregnancy, and the postpartum phase. We also touch on why weight inclusive care is so needed and important in these spaces.
