Ask the RD: So What’s the Deal with Dairy!?

My course is live and open for registration! I am so excited to have this as a resource not just for dietitians, but for all professionals.

If you are a healthcare provider working with people who have eating disorders, this is for you! I give you 12 hours of information about something that isn't spoken about a lot: the intersections of religion and race with eating disorders. If you want to treat your clients as a whole person and practice patient-centered care, you need to include race and religion in discussion in your sessions.

The course is approved for 5 CDR CEUs (pending more) including ethics and comes with 5 live sessions with me along with the 12 hour course!

Click the link in my bio to register! Course starts September 27th. For my Americans, the prices are Canadian so you get an extra special surprise of a discount!

Please let me know if you have any questions and please share!

If you are interested, please either DM or email me. If you have already reached out, I will be following up shortly.

We as providers are not only doing a disservice to

We as providers are not only doing a disservice to, but are actively harming our clients if we are not individualizing our recommendations.

In order to conform, we, BBIPOC, are taught to erase our identity.

What are your thoughts on this? What can providers do differently?

Register for our webinar with @weightinclusivenetwork coming up NEXT WEEK! on May 10th where we will be discussing this in more detail as well as the history of food recommendations and the impact on BBIPOC.

ID: Black text on a light pink background that reads "When individuals are recommended to adopt Western diets in the name of "health" it reinforces the marginalization and racism that many BBIPOC individuals already face. It suggests that our cultural diets and foods are bad, and by extension, that we are bad for eating them. We as BBIPOC have been taught to erase our identity in order to conform, including through food.

Welcome to The Community. A new virtual support gr

Welcome to The Community. A new virtual support group by BIPOC, for BIPOC.

You have seen me talk about the importance of building community and that is what this group is all about. We are going to be talking about all things nutrition, religion and food, family and food, stress, being BIPOC, finances and food, and anything else that comes up in these times. The group is meant to be loosely structured to allow for insight from everyone who wants to participate.

Cost is pay what you can, even if that's nothing. This group was made to be inclusive.

DM me, email me, or comment below if you are interested. More details about date and time coming up next! We would love to have you ❤️

If you've been wondering why I've been terrible at

If you've been wondering why I've been terrible at responding to emails and DMs for the past YEAR, it's because of this! I got married! AND we bought a house! I've moved twice in the last 6 months.

I can't guarantee that I'll respond any faster, but I'll be trying harder 🙃

One thing that was really important to us was including family, friends, and their gifts and talents as part of this process to not only make it that much more special, but to also support their businesses. I will be posting more about them at some point, but here's the rundown of our amazing people:
