In this episode, Ask Why hosts Lora Hooper and Dr. Gina Pritchard discuss stigma surrounding food. They talk about the “drama” surrounding one’s relationship with food, considering social, emotional, mental, and cultural factors.
Lora and Dr. Gina discuss the fact that one diet does not fit everyone, and the importance of genetic testing as a means of understanding what an individual should be eating for optimal health. The two explain the difficulties that everyone faces when they’ve been told that they can no longer eat foods that they’d previously thought to be harmless. They also talk about the self-love that is involved in choosing what to eat, and understanding that it’s okay to sometimes choose to eat outside of your recommended diet.
*“You can get a customized approach that is the most ideal of the individual if you know the genetic makeup” - Gina Pritchard, DNP, RN, ACNP*
