Wendy Lopez and Jessica Jones Are Trying to Sleep

Julia kicks off Season Four of Keep Calm and Cook On with Wendy Lopez and Jessica Jones, the two women behind Food Heaven, which is, in their words: “a multimedia platform founded by two black registered dietitians & BFFs. We help people transform the way they eat and find joy in food through the practice of intuitive eating and body respect.”

This episode clarifies ideas and terms like health at every size, intuitive eating, and the difference between a dietician and a nutritionist. Additionally, Julia talks to Wendy and Jess about how they navigate their friendship while working together.
