#90 A Parents Guide to Intuitive Eating, Raising Kids Free From Diet Culture and Fatphobia in the Medical Field with Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster
In this episode, I chat with Dr. Yami about fatphobia in the medical field and education system, the role nutrition and movement play in health and disease prevention as well as how to raise children as confident eaters connected to their intuition. As a mom of two and a pediatrician, she has incredible insight for parents who want their kids to maintain intuitive eating as the grow up. She shares the most common mistakes parents make that influence diet culture, disordered eating, and body shame in their kids, often without meaning to or realizing it. She also shares with us the foundational principles that you can start implementing right away in your own home to improve the overall health, well-being, and relationship to food & body for you and your kids. And as a Health At Every Size advocate she explains why so many doctors are fatphobic.
