Embracing Our Aging Bodies as Latinas: Navigating Cultural Expectations & Breaking Free from Diet Culture

Delsy is back for this powerful conversation about how to accept our aging and changing bodies. We discuss how we’re embracing or attempting to embrace how we’re changing in our bodies, how cultural expectations on Latinas have impacted our perspectives, and how notions of what is “healthy” has evolved.

Next, we speak to Dalina Soto, also known as “Your Latina Nutritionist” across social media where she helps folks heal their relationship with food. Dalina and I have an insightful conversation about how white supremacy shows up in our notions of health and the ways that she’s using her CHULA method to empower folks to make food choices that feel good for our bodies and cultures. Dalina’s new book The Latina Anti-Diet: A Dietitian’s Guide to Authentic Health That Celebrates Culture And Full-Flavor Living, is out now.
