The Lane 9 Podcast

Christy Harrison MPH RD, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and host of the podcast Food Psych, is back on the show, telling us All The Things about her forthcoming book, Anti-Diet (out 12/24!). 

Tune in to get a glimpse behind-the-scenes (BTS) of her writing process, research, and publishing this counter-cultural book.

Christy shares about the pitching process, title ideas, her ideal audience, her inspiration, and nitty gritty things like how her team created a spreadsheet over three months (that makes me want to take a three month vacation)!

Pre-order her book here and follow Christy @chr1styharrison on Instagram.

Amy Hanneke RD, aka @SatisfyNutrition IG, has experienced some major career moves since we last talked. On her first episode of RD Real Talk (67: IE Stories in Clinical Nutrition), she was working in clinical nutrition and living in rural southern Idaho. She went on to leave her clinical post, set up a booming private practice in Denver, CO, and eventually decided to close up shop and move, again.

If you’re interested in setting up your own weight-inclusive, non-diet private practice, check out Pursuing Private Practice-Intuitive Eating, a robust course led by Jennifer McGurk. I (Heather) used it in setting up my own practice! This is an affiliate link.

We don’t hear much about the whole private practice, especially the nitty gritty of getting things set up, but more so the tough decision to leave the business world, and become an employee again. All of these choices are deeply personal, and Amy gets real about why this was right choice for her. She also takes us into the world of Satisfy Nutrition, sharing some behind-the-scenes info about her social media world.

Another essential resource to both mine and Amy’s private practice: SimplePractice.

SimplePractice is an Electronic Health Record for dietitians that provides flexible formatting for show notes, practice documents (templates for Release of Information, Policies, and billing), scheduling, and secure video conferencing!

This affiliate link for SimplePractice provides WIND RDs with a special deal: three months for the price of one!

Throughout the RD Real Talk podcast series on Health at Every Size®, listeners sent in questions about the concepts and principles of HAES, and how it applies to various situations (and individuals). Jess Campbell, also known as @HAES_StudentDoctor (on Instagram), joined me to discuss these questions, and various resources that may be helpful to you. 

Content warning for this episode: We frequently used the words "overweight" and "obesity", only when referencing studies and texts and the weight-centric language in those papers. 

Disclaimer: The answers provided to these questions are only intended to educate and inform. We do not intend to replace or replicate individual medical or medical nutrition therapy care. 

Stay curious. Keep asking questions. We're here for it, and want this dialogue to continue. Without it, it's far too easy to dismiss paradigm shifts and stay comfortable doing the same thing. But weight-normative healthcare is harmful; fatphobia and weight stigma are harmful; we have to do better. 

Resources for more information: 

• Books for further reading (including the book we mentioned, Harriett Brown's "Body of Truth") 
• "How Obesity Became a Disease" by Harriett Brown in The Atlantic
• "Obesity and adverse breast cancer risk and outcome: Mechanistic insights and strategies for intervention" CW: stigmatizing language, weight-centric 
• "Obesity and Leptin Resistance: Distinguishing Cause from Effect" CW: stigmatizing language, weight-centric
• Weight Neutral 4 Diabetes Care
• Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH)

Tamara Melton, a passionate health informatics dietitian and Co-Founder and Executive Director of Diversity Dietetics (DD), joins me to chat about her career journey, and how DD came to be.

We talk about the genesis of Diversify Dietetics—when she had her “aha moment”, how she connected with Deanna Belleney, Co-Founder and Director of Programs, and insight into the (18-month long!!) nonprofit 501(c)3 process. 

Go check out Diversify Dietetics on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter , and the Diversity Dietetics’ official website. 

Consider donating to Diversify Dietetics’ Fund the Future Fundraiser campaign to help empower future underrepresented RD2Be’s with resources to join the next generation of nutrition experts. From their site, “Less than 10% of all practicing registered dietitians in the United States are People of Color.” ...let’s help change that! 

If you cannot donate monetarily, consider ways you can make your work more inclusive and safe, and support the DD community. Also, share the fundraising page!

Cara Harbstreet, aka @StreetSmartRD, makes her third return to RD Real Talk with a behind-the-scenes look at HER business. I wanted to dive into this topic with Cara because she's an avid non-diet, weight-inclusive supporter—and is quite outspoken about it most of the time (which I love). But she isn't in private practice! 

Cara takes us into the world of brand partnerships, sans private practice or nutrition counseling, and how to build a communications business with a non-diet approach. 

Things we mention: 

• Cara on Twitter, and Instagram (@StreetSmart.RD)
• Cara's blog, StreetSmartNutrition.com
• Her "Healthy Eating for Life" Intuitive Eating workbook
• Burnout, or how to do your best to avoid it
• Why she has signed on as our unofficial OG WIND ambassador
• Big things coming up (or back)!

To my knowledge, this is the first ever FNCE podcast panel! Huge thanks to the panelists who joined me—fellow HAES®-aligned dietitians—Christy Harrison, Wendy Lopez and Jessica Jones, Julie Duffy Dillon, and Rebecca Scritchfield. The room was full of over 50 FNCE-attending dietitians who came to join us for the evening, and it felt amazing to have all that energy in one room. 

We talk about:

• why it's important to use your voice, and how to do that;
• why we podcast and
• how it has shaped our businesses;
• the process of selecting guests and topics,
• and more! 

Thank you to Center for Discovery for being our partner in this event, and helping make it happen!
