ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we had a fascinating discussion between Meg and Brianna. The two discuss the complex ways that race, religion, and culture connect with the development of eating disorders. By sharing her personal story, Brianna sheds light on her challenges and how they influenced her career as a specialist. As a dietician from Haiti, she considers the significant influence of her identity on her profession and considers the crucial moment when a black therapist's advice got her started.

In addition, Brianna discusses the significance of religion and argues for greater diversity in the dietetics sector, highlighting the necessity of change.

Customer Reviews
Upbeat and relatable!
Wow! I am overjoyed to have discovered this podcast. As a survivor of an ED myself, but (!) from a time when the medical community did not offer a lot of guidance, community, or recovery support (the early 2000s) this podcast is filling a huge hole. I’ve only listened to a few episodes but am so excited to absorb the kindness and humor, and work with the resources offered through the show. So much gratitude for you and for the upbeat and honest tone of the show. If you ever need a guest I’d love to contribute! ~Sarah
Informative and Inspirational
I am a regular listener to Meg’s Full and Thriving podcast and I am amazed at how much I learn each and every episode. You can tell that a lot of thoughtfulness goes into each guest she has on the show, and hearing the perspectives of dietitians, clinicians, and coaches in the field has really helped me grasp the complexity of eating disorders. I would 100% recommend this podcast to someone with an eating disorder, but also to anyone interested in learning more about food, the human body, mental health, or just general wellness. Meg is a rockstar and will put you in a better mood with her positivity and loving spirit!
Relevant to anyone trying to grow
The content in these episodes can help anyone grow through processes and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in patterns. For instance the episode on catastrophic thinking will have cascading effects in personal effectiveness when applied. Great stuff!
