Why Your Body Does Not Need Fixing with Kimmie Singh

"It was hard sitting in classrooms knowing that your body size was being discussed and you're the only one there in that body size." - Kimmie Singh

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I am joined by Kimmie Singh.

Kimmie is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist at LK Nutrition, a Health at Every Size® nutrition private practice based in New York City that supports people with eating disorders, disordered eating, and anyone seeking for support in healing their relationship with food and body.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in physics from St. John’s University. Soon after graduating, Kimmie discovered her passion for Intuitive Eating and weight-inclusive nutrition. She went on to pursue her Master of Science of nutrition from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Kimmie completed her dietetic internship at The City University of New York-Hunter College.

Kimmie is currently the treasurer for the Association for Size Diversity and Health and an active member of the International Federation of Eating Disorder Dietitians.

We talk about:

Kimmie's relationship with food and her body and how it changed over time

her memories of bingeing as a kid and how confusing it was at such an early age

feeling like the odd one out and how it impacted her view of herself

the daily discrimination of people in larger bodies and how providers add to that oppression

meeting clients where they are at and creating space for their unique healing journey to begin

the discussion around whether you can recover form an eating disorder and still having the desire to lose weight

the importance and practical aspects of learning how to sit with the discomfort of recovery from an eating disorder

why celebrating your wins and milestones is crucial in recovery

her experience of becoming a nutritionist in a fat body

what makes her so passionate and successful as an activist

how the book Dietland by Sarai Walker impacted her on her healing journey

and so much more!
