175: Exploring what Healthy Really Means and Reclaiming it for Good

The word 'healthy' gets thrown around all the time, but what does it actually mean? And, is the concept actually helpful for us? Meghan and Paige unpack these ideas and explore ways we all can reclaim the true meaning of health for good in our lives. Meghan Kacmarcik is a registered dietitian and nutrition therapist based in Boston, MA. She works locally in the Boston area and is the owner of New Moon Nutrition, a virtual practice where she helps people unlearn diet culture, recover from disordered eating, and heal their relationships with food and their body. Her practice is rooted in Health at Every Size and she uses intuitive eating as a guidepost in all her work. In addition to dismantling diet culture and fighting for a more weight-inclusive world, she enjoys reading good books, drinking good coffee, and snuggling with her cat Potato. Links mentioned:

177: What to do if You're Afraid of Food

Amee Severson joins Paige to talk about her own history of fearing food and explains how she worked through it. Amee is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist whose work focuses on body positivity, fat acceptance, and intuitive eating through a social justice lens. With a mission to break the stereotype that all RD’s live in small bodies and only eat certain foods, Amee cultivates rebellion and liberation on social media, showcasing the possibility for health and happiness in any body. Amee encourages the belief that food can be enjoyed without guilt or shame. She believes that recovery from disordered eating is possible for everyone and that every person deserves to feel trust in their body. Amee doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all nutrition and health, so she works with clients to make health and nutrition fit into their current life, not the other way around. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Food and Nutrition from Montana State University, is a dietitian registered in the State of Washington, and is currently working toward becoming a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.
