Welcome back, Fit Family, to another episode of the Move Your Body Differently podcast! In this episode, I’m thrilled to introduce you to my new friend, Kristen Williams, a registered dietitian and certified eating disorder specialist based in Dallas, Texas. Kristen is the author of Unworthy Weight and the founder of the annual In His Image body image conference. We talk about her journey, her approach to health from a biblical perspective, and how she helps women break free from the bondage of negative body image.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Meet Kristen Williams: Kristen shares her journey from struggling with an eating disorder to becoming a registered dietitian and certified eating disorder specialist. We discuss how her definition of health has evolved over the years and why she now approaches health from a holistic and biblical perspective.
• Body Image and Faith: We dive into how our culture’s focus on physical appearance can negatively impact our relationship with our bodies and why it’s essential to view health through the lens of the gospel. Kristen offers insights on how to create a healthier mindset around food and exercise by focusing on what our bodies can do rather than how they look.
• Non-Diet Approach: Kristen explains what it means to be a non-diet dietitian and how she helps her clients make peace with food. We talk about intuitive eating, breaking free from diet culture, and the freedom that comes with learning to trust your body’s signals.
• Creating a Culture of Health at Home: Kristen shares practical tips on how she fosters a healthy environment for her family, focusing on the joy and blessing of food and exercise rather than restrictive diets or rigid rules.
• In His Image Conference: Learn more about Kristen’s annual faith-based body image conference for teen girls and women, which offers a safe space to explore body image issues through the lens of faith. This year’s event will be held in Dallas on October 14th, and virtual access is also available.

Join us for a deep, faith-filled conversation about finding true freedom and joy in your health journey by aligning your body image and health practices with your identity in Christ. This episode is packed with practical wisdom and spiritual insight that you won’t want to miss!
