In this episode, I'm talking about Body Kindness in the family with a fellow HAES dietitian and mom, Anna Lutz. You'll hear us chat about topics like how to approach food at home that supports HAES and why it is never a good idea to label foods as good or bad, how to support kids of all sizes, how to talk about yourself and others' bodies with kids, how to talk to children about nutrition at a developmentally appropriate level.

Anna is a Nutrition Therapist based in Raleigh, NC and she specializes in eating disorders and pediatric/family nutrition. She studied Psychology at Duke University and she has a .Master of Public Health degree in Nutrition from The University of North Carolina.

Anna is passionate about family feeding and the non-diet approach in dietetics as well as how schools can "do no harm" in their nutrition education. She blogs at SunnySideUpNutrtition.com

Don't miss these topics on her blog: Raising Body Confident Kids and Variety - It's not Just about fruits and veggies.

Three parents with five kids between them (age ranges 2-12) gather to discuss what it's like to parent with body kindness, endure a child's body shame at the doctors office, re-educate your child after the school's health class taught diet tricks, what to say when your kid first says "fat" — as early as age three! And other things you need to know about raising kids with body kindness.

Women who are pregnant or postpartum should not be dieting and yet, many women do, thanks to diet culture and weight stigma. In this episode, I chat with Lindsay Stenovec, certified eating disorder dietitian about the pressures women face to "get their pre-baby body back."

We share personal experiences with postpartum depression and weight stigma during pregnancy as well as research that shows 93% of women who engage in disordered eating and dieting behaviors are not screened for eating disorder symptoms.

Bernie is back and we chat about weight and body conversations in the media, including my latest Washington Post story "What if doctors stopped weighing their patients? Healthcare might improve." and the amazing Self digital issue on weight. All the stories in the package are worth the read, starting with the letter from the editor who said "the way we talk about weight and health is broken" (yes, it is!).

Several of the writers were guests on Body Kindness and if you're ready to catch up, I have the link to their Self stories and their podcast interviews below. And… here's my first Self freelance piece about the fear of sugar being toxic is worse for you than sugar actually being toxic.

Heads up, Bernie and I are planning a 6 week series starting August 20th Body Kindness for guys. We will have group conversations on body image, health, and healing with Bernie and myself co-facilitating. If you're interested or want more info when reg is up to pass along to someone who may be interested e-mail me.

In our conversation, we talk about the impact of racism on health. We also talk about toxic stress - what that is, how it builds up, and the impact it can make as early as childhood. Miriam then shares the three core areas where her current research is focusing that she sees as possible solutions for safer pregnancy outcomes for women of color.

After you listen to the episode, be sure to watch Miriam's TED Talk and check out her podcast and all the amazing and important resources on her website.

As part of my women's health series, I chat to Maya Dusenbery about her new book, Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick.

Editor of the award-winning site Feministing.com, Maya brings together scientific and sociological research, interviews with doctors and researchers, and personal stories from women across the country to provide the first comprehensive, accessible look at how sexism in medicine harms women today.
