Send us a text
Join us for an enlightening episode of our MFU Body Image Campaign. Today we welcome Registered Dietitian Sarah Howe McKenna from Howenutritious. Together, we delve into the topic of diet culture and its profound impact on our lives, including that of our children. Prepare to experience numerous aha moments as Sarah introduces a compassionate approach to eating.
As we all know, our dietary choices can significantly influence our overall well-being, affecting crucial aspects such as sleep, mood, and self-perception. However, navigating the societal pressures can be daunting, especially when many healthcare practitioners still equate thinness with health. Sarah, drawing from her expertise and personal experiences, debunks the notion that weight loss is always necessary. Instead, she urges us to examine the origins of our negative self-talk, asking, "Where is this coming from?"
Together, we explore the evolving definition of "healthy". Sarah sheds light on the historical shift from diets primarily focused on weight loss to their present-day portrayal as a holistic lifestyle choice. It becomes increasingly important to reevaluate where we invest our trust and redirect it inward, towards ourselves. By reconnecting with our bodies and minds, we can attune to the signals they provide and reflect on how different foods make us feel.
In a world brimming with misconceptions, the time has come to redefine what it truly means to be healthy. Join us on this empowering journey with Sarah Howe McKenna as she guides us towards a liberated mindset, free from the shackles of diet culture.

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
