Listen Later

Rachel Engelhart, MA, RD, is a Washington, D.C.-based Registered Dietitian, licensed professional counselor and certified intuitive eating counselor who brings a Health At Every Size®-informed approach to eating disorder recovery for patients of all ages. 

Hot topics we discuss on today’s episode:

  • The Ozempic of it all (3:00): What to know about GLP-1’s from the perspective of an expert in eating disorder recovery; how to navigate working with patients who are taking/considering these medications, and how a Health At Every Size® approach squares with the rise in obesity medicine in research and practice. 

  • THAT Washington Post article (23:30): A thoughtful and nuanced look at all sides of each topic covered in this article, including dietitians’ code of ethics and responsibility to disclose financial relationships; the scientific evidence behind each contested topic, including what the research says about the health impact of including aspartame and sugar in your diet; the bias of the article’s authors (and the premise of the article at large), and how we might consider speaking about controversial topics in nutrition MORE effectively to differentiate between evidence-based nutrition information and personal opinion. 

  • Post-pandemic shifts in people’s relationships with food & body (39:30): The power & significance of social connections on public health outcomes & individual health, and how lack of social connection affects us physically and psychologically.
