71: A Radically Respectful Approach to Nutrition & Health

All too often, visits with health care providers leave you feeling like you're a total failure and it can be so discouraging to feel like your questions weren't really answered because you were being judged or not really heard/seen.   This is what I chatted with Katherine Zavodni, MPH, RDN about on the podcast. She is a registered dietitian nutritionist who believes wholeheartedly in a radically respectful approach to nutrition and health. In this episode, she outlines what exactly that means and why she approaches her clients in that way.   In this episode, Katherine and I talk about what it means to be radically respectful in your own journey with health and nutrition and what it means to receive radically respectful care from providers. We also outline why it's pretty "radical" to be respectful to yourself in a world that values dieting and certain body types above all others. Katherine also dives into her own story of dealing with a chronic illness that changed the way she approached food and her body.    Links mentioned: Katherine's website: https://www.kznutrition.com/ Nutrition Matters Podcast FB study group Educate, Embrace, Empower online course: heal your relationship with food!
