Today on the show we have guest, Mia Donley, who shares with us all how to work towards body trust by building safety in your body. Mia Donley, MPH, RD, CDN is a registered dietitian and consultant working in the field of eating disorders and public health. She originally pursued nutrition to bring culturally relevant nutrition education to the field, as she didn't find her own family's foods and practices reflected in dietetics. She's worked as a nutrition educator in schools, coordinated public health programs, and currently works for a group practice focused on eating disorders. Outside of counseling, she teaches classes on cultural nutrition and helps create spaces for Black dietitians and dietitians of color working in the field of eating disorders and nutrition.

In this episode we discuss:

• What inspired Mia's passion for the anti-diet sector of dietetics.
• How to build trust with food and body, PCOS, and GI issues, especially for WOC and queer folks of color.
• One tangible way those listening to work can work on building trust with their bodies.
• How Mia lives wellness without obsession.
