    • Body Kindness w/ Rebecca Scritchfield

    Podcast

    In this episode, we interview national nutrition expert Rebecca Scritchfiled on the topic of body kindness. Rebecca is a registered dietitian nutritionist, certified exercise physiologist, author of the book Body Kindness, and host of the Body Kindness podcast. Through her weight-inclusive counseling practice, she helps people make peace with food, find the joy in exercise, and create a better life with workable goals that fit individual interests. 

    Rebecca aims to develop self-compassion in place of shame by rejecting the rules of diet culture and the pervasive myth that to achieve better health one must lose weight. Using her Body Kindness philosophy, Rebecca mentors registered dietitians and supports women from around the world in collaborative, online learning spaces free from unhelpful diet chatter and negative body talk.  We both have Rebecca’s book and absolutely love her. It was such a treat to get to interview her on the podcast this week.
    In this episode, we will cover: 

    • Why Rebecca shifted her focus as a dietitian towards body kindness and acceptance
    • How Rebecca recommends addressing privilege with clients
    • Whether or not Rebecca thinks it’s helpful to lead with health (specifically related to clients living with chronic conditions) when talking about intuitive eating
    • For people who want to practice healthier eating habits and have no idea where to start, she’ll discuss a practical framework for nutrition education that includes body kindness & intuitive eating
    • Why we need to stop using BMI as an indicator of health status
    • What the research has to say about dieting & having a weight-focused approach to health
    • 3 things you can do right now to kick things off with body kindness
