An “All-Foods-Fit” Dietitian’s Approach to Finding Freedom with Food

I know I say this a lot, but I love today’s conversation, and I have no doubt you’re going to find it fascinating. I speak with Registered Dietician Nutritionist Shana Minei Spence, who describes herself as an “all foods fit” dietician. Shana works in public health and is the author of the new book, Live Nourished: Make Peace with Food, Banish Body Shame, and Reclaim Joy.

Shana and I explore how we can find more peace and freedom around food through examining our conditioned beliefs around health, nutrition, diet, weight, processed foods, and more. There are so many juicy nuggets of insight in this conversation, and I think you’ll walk away feeling more liberated from a food system/culture that is insidiously controlling and often feels confusing. After all, we are all hardwired to intuitively nourish ourselves, even though it often doesn’t feel that way (as Shana says, without diet culture, intuitive eating would just be called eating!).
