Decoding Your Relationship With Food & Your Body With Rebecca Berg, MS, RDN

In this episode Rebecca shares with us the concept of body lineage and how our relationship with food and our bodies is correlated to our sense of attachment and connection. She shares compassionately how we can conceptualize and get curious about our own patterns with food and eating.

A bit about our guest:

Rebecca Berg, MS, RDN (she/her/hers) is a Los Angeles-based Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a background in eating disorders and mental health diagnoses. After 3 years in group private practice, Rebecca founded No Strings Nutrition. She is passionate about helping adoptees and humans with “Type A” traits learn how to connect to and care for their bodies. Her practice focuses on addressing frustrating or shameful patterns of eating behaviors such as restriction, frequent dieting, binge eating, and irregular or inflexible eating. Rebecca uses a weight-inclusive, trauma-informed approach infused with compassion, humor, and collaboration. Rebecca is also a domestic, same-race, infant adoptee fully recovered from her own eating struggles. Rebecca hopes to bring more awareness to the rarely discussed and yet potent intersection between adoptees and eating disorders. She loves speckled ceramics, sunshine naps, Sam Smith, neighborhood cats, and deep conversations.
