Where you can follow the plan, feel in control, and you feel like you’re doing something positive for yourself?...But when you’re not dieting everything falls to pieces and suddenly you’re stuffing your face with cookies and feeling like crap? Dieting offers a sense of structure, security, and the hope that if you just “stick with it” and “do it right” that you’ll have the body (and life) of your dreams. My guest today is a client of mine who grew up in a home shaped by diet culture where her mother was...
info_outlinePCOS and managing any health condition that calls for dietary changes can be really challenging when you’re also trying to stay off diets and heal your relationship with food.
My guest today is a fellow non-diet dietitian. Julie Duffy Dillon is a Registered Dietitian and Host of Find Your Food Voice®, a popular long running nutrition podcast. Through speaking and writing, she helps people with a complicated relationship with food strategize how to remove the shame and blame dumped on them from the diet industry. Her work has been featured on TLC and in the New York Times, Outside Magazine, Shape and other outlets. She is the author of the book, Find Your Food Voice.
We cover a lot of ground in this conversation - including what it’s like coming up as a dietitian in the medical field that very much subscribes to a weight-centric model of care, and we both spilled some tea about the inner reckonings we had that shook us and caused us to change the path we were on in our careers.
We also talked about emotional eating - Julie has a hot take on this that you don’t want to miss.
Julie shares some great strategies for how to navigate health conditions like PCOS, HTN, diabetes, IBS, high chol, and things like that without getting sucked back into dieting.
Make sure you listen towards the end for the part where Julie talks about the concept of “finding your food voice” which is such a cool concept that is going to help you to silence diet culture and your inner critic as you are learning to trust yourself with food.
As you can tell, this is an incredible conversation, so pop in your ear buds, push play and get ready to be inspired!
