Registered Dietitian, Adrien Paczosa, who has specialized in eating disorders for over 20 years, is here to help uncover the dangers of diet culture

43 minutes

"Diet culture is this pervasive belief that your body shape is more important than your physical physical and psychological well being"

As a Registered Dietitian, intuitive eating is a huge part of my practice. This goes against the grain of what's been popular in society. Noom, Weight Watchers, Keto, SlimFast, billions of dollars gets thrown into diets. Diets and marketing that tell us, if we are smaller, we are better. If we are smaller, we are beautiful. It is part of my legacy, that I help my clients and my audience to realize how dangerous these beliefs about weight can be. I have brought Adrien, another experienced RD, to help me unpack diet culture and discuss why our mental and physical health is at risk.

Adrien Paczosa (RD, LD, CDERD-S) has more than 20 years of experience working in the dietetic field with a focus on eating disorders, neurochemistry nutrition, and business development. In 2007, Paczosa founded and opened her first private practice in Austin, Texas called iLiveWell Nutrition. Paczosa combined evidence-based nutrition science with a compassionate approach to counseling patients to deliver health outcomes and improve patients’ day-to-day lives.

Since then, iLiveWell Nutrition has become Nourish — a nationwide, virtual-first nutrition group focused on addressing America’s healthcare crisis through greater access to nutrition care. Paczosa now serves as the Chief Clinical Officer of Nourish and what started out as just an idea now serves thousands of patients, nearly all of whom use the service via telehealth and are completely covered by their health insurance.
