Dr. Cristina Castagnini hosts Behind the Bite, a podcast focusing on the struggles and triumphs related to food, body, and weight. In this episode, she interviews Julia Lévy-Ndejuru, a dietitian and PhD candidate from Montreal, Canada. Julia shares her journey from a preoccupation with weight to advocating for a weight-inclusive approach to health. The discussion covers the pitfalls of diet culture, the importance of intuitive eating, and the broader determinants of health beyond weight. They also explore the nuances of nutrition, exercise, and how societal pressures impact our relationship with food and body image.
