Ditching Diet Culture: Fostering Your Baby’s Healthy Food Relationship with Vanessa Rissetto, MS, RD

Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro

#112: If you’re feeling stressed about feeding your baby, I’ve got an interview that’s going to set your mind at ease. Vanessa Rissetto, MS, RD is joining me to talk about ditching diet culture and how you can help foster your baby’s healthy relationship with food.

Vanessa is a mom of 2 and a Registered Dietitian in private practice and also the dietetic internship director at New York University. Essence Magazine named her “one of the top nutritionists who will change the way you think about food”, and she does not mince words when it comes to chilling OUT about food and feeding.

In this episode we’re talking about what “diet culture” even is, why parents feel so much pressure about feeding “healthy” and “wholesome” foods and what words and terms to use (and avoid) when we’re trying to raise kids that don’t have messed up relationships with food!
