There are lots of reasons that a very human struggle with food makes sense for dietitians even through we pride ourselves on being the nutrition experts. Perhaps you can relate to the unique pressures that are part of the profession.

Today we explore not only the situation around this, but I am excited to offer a free solution to help.

You can grab the brand new free course "From Guilt to Grace: 5 steps to heal your struggles with food" at kilgrownutrition.com/grace

Share this episode with a colleague for a good discussion and help me grow the podcast!

This is a nerdy deep dive into the biology at play that affects our choices and behaviors. Some people hate discussions like this because it feels like it removes free will and accountability. However, I think you'll find that the discussion removes shame and guilt, especially over behaviors that you just can't seem to conquer.

Continue this conversation with me on instagram @rdn.jenn. I'd love to hear what you think!

What if we placed things like Health At Every Size (HAES) and All Foods Fit on a continuum? What would be at the extreme ends and where would you fall on that spectrum in your professional and personal philosophies of nutrition?

Let's chat about it in this week's episode designed to bring some discussion to the debate within our profession of where we "should" fall on the spectrum.

I welcome your continued conversation on the topic on instagram @rdn.jenn

This is the season 2 finale of the podcast. We finish up the book the Hunger Habit and discuss what things our brain actually likes better than treats when we really pay attention. The last several episodes have been our favorites and we hope you enjoy them while we take a little break to get ready for season 3.

In the mean time you can reach Jennette at kilgrownutrition.com if you'd like to continue the conversation with helping dietitians and their 'food stuff'.

This episode is part 2 of the book club on Dr. Judson Brewer's book The Hunger Habit. This episode is our chatter on the how to of Intuitive Eating. How to build awareness of your eating experience, specifically as it relates to the trigger, behavior and results of the action.

Today we are starting another book club book, The Hunger Habit by Dr. Judson Brewer. If you have loved Intuitive Eating, but have been uncertain how to teach it beyond just a hunger/fullness scale, you are going to love were we go in these book discussions.

Join us as we set the stage for how understanding our brain's reward hierarchy is set up unlocks the power of change- without using willpower!

After several episodes on the concerns with our food system, we now tackle the other side of the coin- Clean Eating. Is this the ideal? Or is it again producing unintended consequences.

Again we are pleased to tackle the question in a way that opens discussion, intentional thought, and personal choice when it comes to deciding what's right for you.

In keeping with that theme, I give 3 questions for experiments to help you decide what is you at your best.

We had some sound difficulties, but this episode was too good not to share. Enjoy our finale to our series on The End of Craving. Here we discuss solutions to the cravings that are such a huge part of our current world and food system.

Part 4 of our response to the book The End of Craving. Today we talk about potential unintended consequences as we "fixed" the nutritional inadequacies in our food through enrichment and fortification.

This is a fascinating shake-up of our take on the virtues of adding vitamins to the food supply.
