#96 Dietitians Struggling with Disordered Eating with Hannah Saffold, RD

My podcast guest this week is Hannah Saffold (@nutrition.insight.project), and I chat with her about the prevalence of disordered eating and disordered eating behaviors in nutrition students and Registered Dietitians. We also touch on body autonomy and the importance of meeting clients where they’re at in their recovery journey.

Hannah is a Registered Dietitian who specializes in working with those with eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting, ARFID (avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder), food aversions, RED-S (relative energy deficiency in sport), and anyone who wants to strengthen their relationship with food and body.

I talk to Hannah about:

• What connects Hannah to her clients and her work.
• The inspiration behind Hannah’s Nutrition Insight Project.
• Elena discusses her experience with disordered eating as a nutrition student.
• The prevalence of nutrition/dietetics students and Registered Dietitians struggling with eating disorders.
• The normalization of disordered behaviors.
• Where the nutrition and dietetics curriculum falls short.
• Looking beyond food and exercise in terms of health.
• The importance of meeting a client where they’re at.
• The risks of working with clients if you’re struggling with disordered eating behaviors as a clinician.
