    The Role of Dietitians in Eating Disorder Treatment

    The Role of Dietitians in Eating Disorder Treatment

    Welcome to The HealED Podcast! I'm your host, Marie-Pier.
     
    On today's solo podcast episode, we are taking a dive deep into the role of dietitians in eating disorder care. We separated the role 4 stages: 
    1- Prevention
    2- Early Detection
    3- Treatment
    4- Maintenance
    The dietetic profession has unfortunately caused a lot of harm (and truthfully, continues to cause harm) in this space. And, when we know better we do better.
    This episode aims to highlight the crucial role of dietitians in eating disorder care from an anti-diet and weight inclusive lens.

    From ”Special Diets” to Anti-Diet: Navigating Health Outside of Diet Culture with Jasna Robinson-Wright

    From ”Special Diets” to Anti-Diet: Navigating Health Outside of Diet Culture with Jasna Robinson-Wright

    Welcome to The HealED Podcast! I'm your host, Marie-Pier, and today we have an incredible guest joining us, Jasna Robinson-Wright, an amazing registered dietitian at The Balanced Practice.
    In this episode, we're diving deep into the intersections between health conditions, eating disorders, and navigating dietary restrictions without triggering disordered eating.
    Jasna and I discuss the dangers of jumping straight into the most restrictive route when addressing health issues. We challenge the common belief that cutting out dairy and gluten is necessary for various health conditions. 
    We also explore the confusion and misinformation surrounding food and nutrition advice in the information age. With everyone feeling like experts on nutrition and readily giving advice without solid evidence, it's important to discern what's valid and what's not.
    Moreover, we delve into the pervasive influence of diet culture, wellness culture, and weight bias in society. Popular diets often receive media attention and hype, despite lacking proven effects. Believing that certain foods are "bad" can lead to guilt, shame, and potentially worsening health conditions or disordered eating.
    So, grab your favourite beverage, sit back, and get ready for an insightful and transformative discussion on healing, health, and intuitive eating. Let's dive right in!
