The Lane 9 Podcast

It’s just me, y’all! Heather Caplan here, your RD Real Talk host, getting real about some business updates, and personal reflections. What do I wish I had done differently ten years ago? Well, a few things, but first and foremost, I wish I hadn’t been so arrogant/naive. (A little bit of both, TBH.) I needed help. I wish I had asked for it. 

Below you’ll find a long list of the things mentioned in today’s episode. But if you want to skip that and get right to it, as I always say, my inbox is always open: RDRealtalk at Gmail dot com. 

In no particular order (because my notes are a bit scattered): 

• THE blog post: “I don’t want to be a dietitian anymore.” 
• The one with Alissa Rumsey, about building your Mastermind & peer supervision (episode 132)
• The resource I’ve been using for over two years in my private practice:
  Pursuing Private Practice For Intuitive Eating RDs! (affiliate link)
• The 1:1 career coaching/mentoring I offer to fellow RDs and RDs-to-be. 
• The 2020 RD Real Talk anonymous listener survey. Get in there!
• The NEW support group & resources for fellow RDs: Updates here!
• The monthly peer supervision calls through WIND, featuring various experts on various topics. 

And some places to get started with more resources and info on WIND and IE: 

• WIND Bookshelf
• Tracy Tylka et al’s paper on the weight-inclusive approach
• Jeffrey Hunger et al’s paper on an evidence-based rationale for weight-inclusive health policy

Veronica Garnett MS RD and Alissa Rumsey MS RD joined me, Heather Caplan RD, for a “live” recording during the recent NYC WIND Workshop, to talk about their experience adapting to a HAES® and/or intuitive eating centered practice. The conversation explored how a weight inclusive approach works, utilization of supervision resources, and dismantling fat phobia in the dietetics space. We also open the floor for our WIND Workshop participants to ask questions, and talk about their own lived experiences and understanding of HAES®/non-diet-centered practices.

Deanna Belleny, MPH, RDN joins the show to chat about how she is progressing the field of dietetics through her role in Diversify Dietetics and helping underserved communities. We talk about the lack of representation in our profession, the experiences of being a dietitian of color, and the importance of mentorship to increase diversity in this field. As a public health practitioner working to improve the healthcare space, she is utilizing her passion to make system level changes in the dietetics field. And of course, we chat about her “Sick of Diet Culture” bio blurb, because, we’re here for that.

Kendrin Sonneville, ScD, RD, joins the show to chat about how weight stigma has impacted healthcare and dietetics. We talk about the lack of weight bias in research, the importance of size diversity, and progressing the field of dietetics to a more weight inclusive lens. Kendrin focuses her research on studying weight stigma as a predictor of poor health outcomes, so that we can begin to digest and dismantle fat phobia in healthcare settings. She’s also bringing this to her students and peers as an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. Check out her UofM bio here.

Anna Sweeney MS CEDRD-S joins the show to talk about what it means to identify as anti-diet, or (vs.) non-diet, and how we are NOT against people who diet, or people who want to lose weight. This is a nuanced discussion between two passionate, real-talking dietitians, about the culture we live in, the norms we're trained to uphold in healthcare, and challenging all of the above. 

Anna sees clients in-person at her practice, Whole Life Nutrition, in Concord, MA. And she speaks to all of us, with her anti-diet voice, on social media. @dietitiananna

Marci Evans, MS CEDRD-S LD, comes back to RD Real Talk to chat with us about body image. This conversation pairs with episode 130, featuring Bri Campos LPC, to continue our understanding of, and scope of practice (as dietitians) with, body image healing. Marci also shares some business and life updates, including how she prepared, and set boundaries for, her maternity leave last year. 

Marci puts out a call to action for all practitioners: We must do our own work, first. She provides some foundation for how to do that, along with ample resources for professionals who want to learn more about this topic.

Lisa Valente, MS RD, the Digital Nutrition and News Editor at EatingWell, joins us again on the show. Our first episode together aired in early 2017. When Lisa listened to it recently, she was surprised by how much her nutrition philosophy, and openness to the concepts of Intuitive Eating, had changed in just over two years. We talk about that process, and her thoughts about it! If you're feeling resistant to IE, or totally new to the ideas, I'm sure you'll relate to Lisa's experiences.
