    • Education

I'm not going to lie that in today's episode I got a bit emotional with my good friend and colleague Deene Bex, Registered Dietitian from the Diné (Navajo) Nation. Denee Bex is an award-winning Registered Dietitian and is an advocate for traditional Indigenous diets and home-grown foods in Native communities. Denee is the owner and founder of Tumbleweed Nutrition LLC, a nutrition education consultant company that provides evidence-based nutrition consultations for organizations and farms serving American Indian communities.

In today's episode Deene shared how diet culture shows up in American Indian communities. We covered:


The importance of sharing our narratives


Trauma & colonialism and forced relocation


Connection to the land


Importance of trauma informed perspective when talking about nutrition


Food sovereignty


Community nutrition


The challenges with healthcare professionals
