Episode 170: Body Wisdom with Special Guest Kait Greenberg

Body Wisdom is the inherent wisdom we each hold within our bodies that tells us what we need physically, emotionally and spiritually. When we listen to the wisdom of our bodies, we intuitively know how to feed ourselves, satisfy out needs and accept our natural bodies.

Kait Fortunato Greenberg is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian at The BeginWithin Center in Redbank NJ, specializing in restrictive eating disorders, binge eating disorder, and emotional eating. She individualizes her approach to help clients form a healthy relationship with food and to not let food get in the way of what truly matters in their life, her personal mantra being “count memories not calories”. She works closely with clients and their loved ones to make eating less stressful by developing meal plans and guidelines with compassion and understanding, and providing activities and skills for a successful recovery.

Kait completed her undergraduate program and Registered Dietitian internship at the University of Maryland in College Park and worked for 7 years as a Registered Dietitian with the Empowered Eating Program at Rebecca Bitzer and Associates in Maryland, before moving to New Jersey to be closer to family. She is also active in the eating disorder community as a volunteer for Mothers Against Eating Disorders (MAED) answering nutrition questions for families who have a loved one suffering from this disease. Kait is a member of the Association for Size Diversity and Health and The International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals Foundation (iaedp), where she was invited to give a talk at their annual Symposium. Kait was awarded Outstanding Young Registered Dietitian of the Year in 2014 by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Kait loves working with clients who suffer from this terrible disease as she finds her clients to be some of the brightest and kindest people she has ever met. Sometimes things happen for a reason and she loves helping clients make a full recovery and come out stronger on the other side. Kait aims to balance the science and education, sharing her knowledge so each person can understand what is happening each step of the way. Combined with heartand respect she works with her clients to learn to love and listen to their body and begin to trust it. She will be there toprovide the structure and support to help fight against the eating disorder.
