#143-Story Session: What 30 Years as a Dietitian Taught Pia About Health and Weight

After years of practicing traditional dietetics, Pia and I found ourselves on a liberating journey—stepping away from diet culture and embracing a weight-neutral, intuitive eating approach. In this episode, we share our experiences, from joyful food-filled retreats in Italy to the challenges of being non-diet dietitians in a weight-obsessed world.

What if health wasn’t measured by the scale? We unpack common misconceptions about weight and wellness, highlighting biases in healthcare and the importance of focusing on behaviors over BMI. We explore what it means to truly accept and care for our bodies through personal stories—like the humbling changes of menopause and the surprising freedom of midlife. 

Join us for a compassionate conversation about redefining health, unlearning diet culture, and making space for joy at every stage of life.
