In this episode you’ll get three tips on staying in this anti-diet work for the long run. Because it can feel like a long process, and there is no destination! So much of this work can be fatiguing, frustrating, challenging...and of course, so rewarding, and so necessary. We’re going against the status quo, and that alone can feel like a struggle. Hopefully these tips help you feel supported, connected, and excited to keep learning!

REPLAY: A favorite episode from this year, The psychology of intuitive eating with Elyse Resch MS RDN CEDRD-S.
Intuitive Eating Series Intro! Elyse Resch, MS CEDRD-S, is one of the co-authors of the book, Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Anti-Diet Approach. This is the 4th edition of the book, co-written with registered dietitian Evelyn Tribole. This non-diet approach to nutrition therapy and counseling has changed the way many dietitians practice now, giving us a language for effective nutrition work that provides an antidote to diet culture.
In this episode—an intro to the NEW RD Real Talk Intuitive Eating podcast series!—Elyse provides us with a foundation for the psychology of the Intuitive Eating approach. We review the "three brains" and how they all impact our behaviors, and survival instincts. And of course, she shares some real talk about how the approach has evolved over the years.
Questions or thoughts about this episode? The RD Real Talk pop-up Facebook community is closed now, but you can still get the weekly newsletter!

Clara Nosek, MS RD, joins this episode to talk about all things parenting, working, and finding what works for you. Clara is an anti-diet dietitian, with a mission to inspire reconnection with the body through decolonized health and redefined beauty standards. You may know Clara as @yourdietitanbff on Instagram, where she’s the queen of memes related to dietetics and diet culture within the profession. On this episode we talk about the different ways that the two of us have built our businesses and structured our work hours around parenting our small humans. We get real about the different ways we have approached this stage of our life plus our career, what has worked for us, what we’ve learned about ourselves along the way, and how we’ve each done things really differently (and that’s okay!).
