In the podcast, Christina explains what the non-diet approach to weight management actually means and how it works. The non-diet approach is a set of strategies that medical professionals can use to support patients in their healthcare, with an overall aim of helping patients to improve their health without necessarily changing their body weight. The non-diet approach has a strong focus on supporting patients to eat a wide variety of foods to achieve nutritional quality, rather than prescribing meal plans or portion sizes for weight loss.

She teaches into the clinical and communication/counselling subjects including eating disorders, weight-inclusive practice and non-diet nutrition, cognitive-behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing topics.
