Listen Later

This week's episode with Ashantis Jones and Eleni Agresta-Levine hit so many important topics around gentle nutrition and truly holistic wellness with a weight-inclusive approach. It was also just a ton of fun and I know you're gonna love it!

On this episode we talk about:

  • What their new program and community, Body Kind Nutrition is and how it came to be.
  • Commitment to community and personal care of ourselves as we transition into the winter months.
  • How weird it is that there are all sorts of communities centered around weight loss, but almost none that are weight inclusive--and how they're attempting to change that.
  • Staying within your scope of practice as a professional and how we can support and refer out to each other.
    • Ways to support yourself with nutrition when you're also in ED/DE recovery, neurodivergent, dealing with chronic illness, etc.
    • How they're addressing the very real concerns people have around their health and nutrition without dipping into diet culture or pseudoscience.
    • What a weight inclusive approach to nutrition actually looks like.
    • How to make food choices that feel good for you without following the arbitrary rules of diet culture OR anti-diet culture.
    • Some examples of recipes and meal prep ideas they've shared.
    • So many other good things.!
