Ep 46: Body Image, Period Loss as a Runner, and Holiday Eating tips with Abbie Attwood


Listen Later

Abbie Attwood is an anti-diet, weight-inclusive nutritionist with a master of science in nutrition. She is also a body image coach, business owner, obsessed dog mom, and lover of the outdoors.

Abbie worked in healthcare policy and at start-ups for a decade before returning to graduate school. The decision to change careers was a result of her own battle with disordered eating, a slew of injuries, and several autoimmune disease diagnoses. She is passionate about helping others heal from disordered eating and body shame so that they can live their most authentic, meaningful life.


Abbie lives in the Bay Area with her husband and two dogs, where she runs a virtual nutrition and coaching practice. Her work is rooted in supporting her clients to rebuild a relationship with food and their body that is compassionate, respectful, liberating, and peaceful.
