Guest Bio: 

Deb invites you to blaze a liberating new path to a respectful, nurturing relationship with your aging body.  She has helped hundreds of women heal their relationship with food, eating, and their bodies in her more than 35-year career as a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist and Registered Yoga Teacher specializing in preventing and treating disordered eating. Now in her 60s, she focuses her research, training, passion, clinical, and lived experience on the intersection of pro-aging and body liberation. 

Her work is rooted in helping you: Shift your relationship with your body from your life’s project to your life partner; Nourish your body in midlife and beyond to support growing older in alignment with your values; Recognize internalized ageism and end it; Untangle from diet/wellness culture mess, and See midlife and beyond as a time of Emergence and Authenticity. Deb centers accessible practices so you can apply principles to your daily life and experience true transformation. Deb is also a lover of rivers, words, and her kids and grandkids.  She is currently envisioning life as a semi-nomad.
