We sit down with Monika Saigal, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Eating Disorders Specialist, and former professional dancer, who works with professional ballet dancers and ballet students. Monika shares her expertise on the important role of nutrition in a dancer's life and offers valuable insights into the nuances of language surrounding food and how it impacts dancers' perceptions and behaviors. Monika discusses the myth of perfect eating and the importance of embracing a balanced approach. We also explore the practices around weighing ballet students, the contagious nature of disordered eating, and practical strategies for preparing nutritious meals despite a hectic schedule.
Tune in to her Monika's advice on how to support dancers in maintaining a healthy relationship with food while fostering a positive and sustainable approach to their nutrition.
