“Speaking directly to Black women and wanting Black women to know that their bodies are not the problem. The way that our bodies are treated and problematized and pathologized, we're often taught that it's our fault, that it's our problem to fix or we just need to love our bodies out of societal oppression.”  This week on the show a conversation with dietitian and author Jessica Wilson about her book, It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's BodiesShe's challenging us to rethink the politics of body positivity by centering the bodies of Black women in our discussions about food, weight, health and wellness. 

“Speaking directly to Black women and wanting Black women to know that their bodies are not the problem. The way that our bodies are treated and problematized and pathologized, we're often taught that it's our fault, that it's our problem to fix or we just need to love our bodies out of societal oppression.”  This week on the show a conversation with dietitian and author Jessica Wilson about her book, It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's BodiesShe's challenging us to rethink the politics of body positivity by centering the bodies of Black women in our discussions about food, weight, health and wellness. 

“I want people to know that their bodies are not problems to be fixed, or problems to be solved. I want us to examine how do we look at ourselves — especially BIPOC folks, fat folks, and folks with chronic illnesses. What if we didn't have to fix anything? What if our bodies aren't broken? What if it's society and not us?”— Jessica Wilson, RD on Full Plate PodcastEvery once in a while, a conversation cuts through the noise — and makes space for something deeper to settle in.This week on Full Plate, we're revisiting a powerful episode from two and a half years ago (how?!) with Jessica Wilson — a clinical dietitian, author, and speaker whose work continues to shape this field in profound ways.Jessica's book, It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies, had just been released when we first spoke. And even now, listening back, I feel the same reverence and electricity in her words — and an even deeper appreciation for how much they've reshaped my own thinking.In this conversation, we explore:* How anti-fatness is rooted in anti-Blackness* Why thinness and “wellness” ideals are intentionally weaponized* How Jessica found HAES and anti-diet work, and the limitations that frustrate her* Jessica's experience of medical weight stigma as a child* How the BIPOC experience of diet culture diverges from that of white folks* What it really means to center lived experience and social justice in conversations about health* The myths that persist when it comes to nutrition and our wellbeing* Whether the Mediterranean diet is really all that "healthy"* The complex feelings we both hold about intuitive eating and how it can miss the mark for marginalized folksThere's so much in here. So much that feels like exactly what we need right now — especially in the face of rising public health rhetoric (ahem, “Make America Healthy Again”) that continues to blame individuals instead of challenging systems.Jessica brings her full self: truth-telling, deeply embodied, relentlessly clear. She's not here to make this comfortable — she's here to make it honest.And just a heads up that this episode was recorded before the current wave of GLP-1 conversations, RFK Jr. headlines, and other recent chaos in the wellness world. But trust me, what she shares here still lays the groundwork for understanding it all.Whether this is your first time hearing it, or a second listen — I think you'll walk away changed.P.S.

Before we start the show today…Have you donated to the Me Little Me Virtual Food Pantry? No, it won't prevent any of the MAHA shenanigans we're about to discuss. But it will get low-income folks (many of whom are in eating disorder recovery) fed — and with the food of their choosing. Meaning yes, ultra processed foods that bring comfort and convenience, and yes to beloved cultural foods…and yes to trusting folks in need to know what they need.We're trying to raise $12,000 and add 50 recurring donors to their rosters by June 1.

So I asked her to come back on the podcast today just to help us make sense of what is happening right now in public health. We're going to get into RFK.

Melina Palmer invites Jessica Wilson of Imotions to discuss the fascinating world of neuroscience tools for consumer research. Jessica's in research and neuroscience led them to Imotions, a software company that offers a platform integrating various neuroscience tools. The platform includes a study builder, analysis tools, and export options, catering to both commercial and academic clients. Jessica emphasizes the importance of matching the research question with the appropriate technology, rather than being swayed by the allure of shiny gadgets.  She highlights the value of using eye tracking, facial expression analysis, and skin conductance as a powerful combination of tools, known as the "Holy Trinity." However, she also mentions the availability of other tools, such as EEG and heart rate monitoring, depending on the specific research needs. Jessica shares examples of video testing and usability studies, showcasing how these tools can provide insights into consumer behavior, attention, and emotional responses. She emphasizes the importance of using the gathered data to inform design decisions and improve consumer experiences. The conversation concludes with a discussion of real-world applications, including collaborations with universities and healthcare organizations. In this episode: Discover how neuroscience tools can revolutionize consumer research and unlock deep insights into consumer behavior. Uncover the hidden motivations behind consumer decisions using cutting-edge eye tracking and facial expression analysis techniques. Optimize your website design with confidence by leveraging user testing to identify usability issues and improve user experiences. Learn the importance of crafting clear research questions to drive effective user testing and obtain actionable insights. Boost user engagement and trust with shorter, impactful testimonials that capture attention and increase conversion rates. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, Melina Palmer introduces the podcast and shares her excitement about conducting research and experiments with Imotions to optimize her website pages. 00:02:36 - Introduction to Imotions Jessica Wilson, the director at Imotions, shares information about the company and their platform. She discusses the wide range of applications for their neuroscience tools, including consumer insights, product testing, ad testing, and more. 00:07:43 - Types of Testing with Imotions Jessica explains the different types of testing that can be done with Imotions, including eye tracking, facial expression analysis, and skin conductance. She emphasizes the importance of using the right tools based on research questions and not getting caught up in the excitement of technology. 00:08:31 - The Holy Trinity of Eye Tracking, Facial Expression Analysis, and Skin Conductance Jessica discusses the Holy Trinity of eye tracking, facial expression analysis, and skin conductance. These three tools work well together to provide information on attention, valence, and physiological arousal. She mentions that there are additional tools available, but it's important to choose the right ones based on research questions. 00:10:42 - Consultation and Planning with Imotions Jessica highlights the importance of consultation and planning with Imotions. They offer guidance on choosing the right tools and metrics for specific research questions. The research question should dictate the technology used, rather than the other 00:15:12 - Video Testing with Biosensor Data Jessica discusses how video testing can be used with biosensor data to assess consumer preferences and improve communication. They share an example of a collaboration between the University of South Florida and BayCare Health Systems to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 infomercials on consumers. 00:16:46 - Usability and Sensory Testing Jessica explains how biosensor research can be utilized in usability and sensory testing. They mention using biosensors to assess people's reactions to different food samples and how the most effective testing methods have distinct research questions and variables. 00:18:14 - Free Scrolling and Task-Based Testing Melina and Jessica discuss the different approaches to testing, including free scrolling to observe natural behavior and task-based testing to compare prototypes. They emphasize the importance of incorporating specific tasks into usability studies for websites. 00:21:08 - Redesigning a Website Melina shares her experience of redesigning her website in preparation for her book launch. They discuss the process of testing mockups of the new site against the existing site to determine if design changes were effective and if any adjustments were needed. 00:24:46 - Testing for Different Personas Jessica explains how they incorporated different personas into the testing process. They discuss the two personas targeted by the host's business, entrepreneurial types, and corporate members, and how the testing aimed to direct each persona to the most relevant products and services. 00:29:38 - Importance of Clear Tasks in Website Testing Narrowing down tasks and evaluating if they are working is crucial in website testing. Asking vague questions about users' interests and actions can reveal where they get stuck. It's important to avoid priming users and instead focus on finding potential obstacles. 00:31:13 - The Power of Focusing on One Thing in Research Research should focus on one or two variables to obtain clear answers. Avoiding distractions and confounding variables leads to stronger insights. Rushing research can result in missed opportunities for valuable insights. 00:33:20 - Effective Design Elements for Website Success Salient design elements like big buttons with clear choices greatly improve the success rate of website interactions. Eye tracking and behavioral metrics demonstrate the impact of design clarity on user engagement. 00:34:57 - Challenges with Corporate Persona Landing Page The corporate landing page proved challenging for users, leading to confusion and distributed attention. Brow furrow and lower success rates indicated a need for clearer design elements and more effective funneling of actions. 00:37:16 - Applying Insights from Testing to Website Redesign Insights from the previous tests informed the redesign of the entire website. Big buttons, clear choices, and reducing cognitive load were integrated into other areas of the site, improving user experience. 00:43:23 - Eye Tracking Results: Less is More The study found that participants spent more time looking at the short testimonials compared to the long ones. They also showed less brow furrow and had a better overall experience with the shorter testimonials. This suggests that less text is more effective in capturing attention and providing a positive user experience. 00:45:37 - Importance of Short Testimonials The research showed that shorter testimonials are more effective in capturing attention and creating anticipation for the product. Participants were able to absorb the positive feedback more easily and had a better overall experience. Short testimonials provide social proof without overwhelming the users with excessive text. 00:46:56 - Evolution of Data Collection Technology The pandemic and the shift towards collecting data in naturalistic environments have led to the development of online data collection platforms. These platforms allow researchers to record facial expression analysis and eye-tracking data using webcams, eliminating the need for specialized equipment. This opens up new possibilities for remote data collection and collaboration. 00:49:20 - Tips for Conducting Experiments When conducting experiments, it's important to keep them small, be thoughtful about what to test, and test often. Focus on the most important aspects, avoid testing too many variables at once, and have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve. Testing helps understand and predict human behavior. 00:52:22 -  Conclusion, Melina's top insights from the conversation. What stuck with you while listening to the episode?

This is the CIIS Public Programs Podcast, featuring talks and conversations recorded live by the Public Programs department of California Institute of Integral Studies, a non-profit university located in San Francisco on unceded Ramaytush Ohlone Land. The contemporary definition of a “good” or “healthy” body has been centuries in the making, but as eating disorder specialist and storyteller Jessica Wilson writes in her recent book It's Always Been Ours, “the pure, moral, rule-abiding body has never, ever, been a Black woman's.” Every day, Jessica sees how the pressure to conform to white supremacist ideals of health and beauty constrict and harm women of color. As a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders, as a social justice activist, and as a woman with multiple marginalized identities, Jessica's goal is to end this harm. In this episode, CIIS Dean of Faculty Development, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at CIIS Danielle Drake has a conversation with Jessica that challenges us to rethink the politics of body liberation by centering the bodies of Black women in our cultural discussions of self-image, food, health, and wellness. This episode was recorded during an in-person and live streamed event at California Institute of Integral Studies on March 8th, 2023.

With Halloween — and all the related chatter about kids, candy, and sugar — coming up, we decided to reheat an episode with pediatric dietician Jill Castle from the very beginning of Didn't I Just Feed You. While the interview is the same, our take on sugar has changed a bit, so we recorded a whole new intro. You'll want to listen to this one even if you did way back when. LINKS Our episode with Jessica Wilson, What Anti-Diet Gets Wrong with Jessica Wilson, MS, RDJessica Wilson on Instagram, where she shared her experiment on eating ultra processed foods (UPFs), @jessicawilson.msrdNaureen Hunani from RDs for NeurodiversityResponsive FeedingThe Correlation Between Neurodivergence and Eating DisordersWhat If We Just Let Our Kids Eat What They Want?Does Sugar Really Cause “Bad” Behavior In Children?The Trouble With Sugar on The Maintenance PhaseOur Sponsors:* Check out Armoire and use my code DIJFY for a great deal: http://www.armoire.style* Check out BetterHelp and use my code DIJFY for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

“Speaking directly to Black women and wanting Black women to know that their bodies are not the problem. The way that our bodies are treated and problematized and pathologized, we're often taught that it's our fault, that it's our problem to fix or we just need to love our bodies out of societal oppression.”   This week on the show a conversation with dietitian and author Jessica Wilson about her book, It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies She's challenging us to rethink the politics of body positivity by centering the bodies of Black women in our discussions about food, weight, health and wellness.

It's comfortable and increasingly normalised to criticise and speak to dismantling diet culture. Yet without interrogating what upholds diet culture  we harm everyone and leave actual liberation behind. In this episode I am joined by queer, disabled Dietitian, Author and Community Organiser Jessica Wilson for a deeply thought provoking and insightful exploration of Health and all that gets lumped in with it including intuitive eating and diet culture. Including:the loud messages that a body is supposed to be healthy at all times and there's set ways to do that with the messages coming from powerful placeshow this is inherently political and always has beenwho is left out of consideration when it comes to eating disorder treatment, dietetic practice and both wellness and healthcare generally who is intuitive eating for?when we swap dieting for intuitive eating - what is missing ?why just dismantling "diet culture" isn't enough and what we do need insteadEpisode links and notes here Find daily non-diet nourishment on Instagram @nadiafelsch Join the (free) Food and Body Freedom Community Share your lightbulb moments from this episode with me Leave a review for the podcast to help others find it Book a session with me

Media often tends to focus on and center emaciated, thin, young white adolescents who are hospitalized due to medical complications of malnourishment when speaking on the topic of eating disorders. We don't often hear stories of Black girls with anorexia, Black men struggling with body image, Black families and the impact of these narrow stereotypes on limiting care and life-saving access to care. Today's episode was recorded almost half a year ago, but it still rings so important. Mimi talks with Dr. Erikka Dzirasa, MD about messages we received around mental health growing up and our work as Black healthcare providers in the eating disorder field. *The title was tricky for me to think about, I wanted to capture how Black children experience eating disorders because the narrative is lacking. I also wanted to capture that little Black girls and Black men and non-binary and trans Black people experience eating disorders. Blackness and eating disorders aren't mutually exclusive. I landed on Black Young Girls because that is the experience I can speak to the most and we need more voices. And also, one podcast episode doesn't capture the whole Black experience of eating disorders, there is so much complexity. So just narrowing in on some aspects here. I've also since read the book, It's Always Been Ours by Jessica Wilson, MS, RD, which has been absolutely incredible, I highly recommend reading! We talk about.. Black families and eating disorder care Messages prominent in many Black families around mental health The need for more representation within the field of eating disorder care How stereotypes lead to lack of early diagnosis and are life-threatening Dr. Dzirasa's leadership positions within Arise and Project HEAL, and the importance of diversity within organizations providing care Erikka Dzirasa, MD, MPH, DFAACAP is a double-board certified Child and Adult Psychiatrist who brings more than 10 years of deep expertise in eating disorders and mental health since first seeking out specialized training while in Duke University's residency and fellowship programs. She previously served as the Medical Director of an Eating Disorders specialty hospital system, leading policy and program development to deliver high-quality, effective care in their intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP), residential and inpatient units for people living with eating disorders. Erikka is currently Chair of the Board of Directors of Project HEAL, a leading eating disorder nonprofit breaking down systemic barriers and providing education and supportive resources to people of all identities and background experiencing eating disorders. She is a partner in Catalyst Therapeutic Services, a private practice in Durham, NC and a Consulting Associate at Duke University Medical Center. As a mental health advocate, she also serves on the Race, Ethnicity and Equity committee for the North Carolina Psychiatric Association, and is the immediate Past President of the North Carolina Council of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. Dr. Dzirasa earned her Bachelor of Science at Spelman College, Master of Public Health in Health Care and Leadership at UNC Chapel Hill, and her Doctor of Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine. She is also a certified yoga instructor.  Find Dr. Dzirasa at: IG: @dr.erikka Arise: www.wearearise.com/about Find Mimi at: Main IG: @the.lovelybecoming Podcast IG: @lovelybecomingpodcast Website: www.mimi-cole.com

I'm joined by Jessica Wilson, MS, RD, and Author of It's Always Been Ours. We're talking about why “dismantling diet culture” isn't enough, how ideas like “intuitive eating” can cause harm, and the conversations we really need to be having to make systemic change. We also talk about the relationship between anti-fatness and anti-Blackness and why perhaps GOOP isn't the worst thing. Show notes: summerinnanen.com/264 In this episode, we talk about: - How Jessica got into this work and how it led to her book, - The need to address the functions of disordered eating as a societal and structural problem, - How she sees intuitive eating causing harm, - How Black women are hyper-visible yet invisible, - That Black women are underrepresented in eating disorder research, - Her experience at the Goop summit versus Harvard Public Health, - Plus so much more!

You've heard us grapple with how diet culture has impacted us and shaped how we feed our families, but is talk of diet culture, body positivity, and intuitive eating a distraction from understanding the structures and systems of oppression (or worse: a tool that reinforces those structures and systems)? We talk to Jessica Wilson, MS, RD, and author It's Always Been Ours, to start unpacking this question — and more.Links from this episodeAll about Jessica WilsonJessica's book, It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's BodiesJessica on Instagram, @jessicawilson.msrdBelly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness by Da'Shaun L.

We talk with Jessica Wilson, MS, RDN (she/her), a clinical dietitian, consultant and author, whose experiences navigating the dietetic fields as a Black, queer dietitian have been featured on public radio shows and in print media, including the New York Times, Bustle, and Cronkite News. Jessica has worked as a clinical dietitian since 2007 and is acutely aware of how both the public health and medical framing of “healthy eating” and “obesity” has contributed to disordered eating and self blame. She speaks openly and candidly about the harm caused to people by designating individual identities and bodies as risk factors, rather than targeting the structural inequities and violence that marginalized individuals must endure and which contribute to whether we fall into the social construction of Health. In this episode we talk about the unique experiences of black, fat, queer women in wellness, the racist origins of diet culture, and Jessica's take on intuitive eating.   This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Episode 8 features yet another one of Asher's amazing friends (yes, they are starting to boast a little, and it is getting annoying).  This time it's Ross Anderson Doherty, who is a performer, teacher and director of the Cabaret Supper Club in the heart of Belfast.  You may know them from their instagram account @craicwithrossy, which is where Asher first fell in love with them.  Together they share their love of Jessica Wilson's book "IT'S ALWAYS BEEN OURS: REWRITING THE HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN'S BODIES" (as much as any two fat white non binary Wilson fans can) as well as a host of other important issues. Together Ross and Asher discuss some of the complexities of navigating the world in FAT TRANS bodies, proving that the best kind of fat has always been the trans fat (it's just got a bit of a bad reputation is all). If you enjoy this podcast and would like to support Asher so that they can continue making them, you can join them on Patreon.

In It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies (Hachette Go, 2023) eating disorder specialist and storyteller Jessica Wilson challenges us to rethink what having a "good" body means in contemporary society. By centering the bodies of Black women in her cultural discussions of body image, food, health, and wellness, Wilson argues that we can interrogate white supremacy's hold on us and reimagine the ways we think about, discuss, and tend to our bodies. A narrative that spans the year of racial reckoning (that wasn't), It's Always Been Ours is an incisive blend of historical documents, contemporary writing, and narratives of clients, friends, and celebrities that examines the politics of body liberation. Wilson argues that our culture's fixation on thin, white women reinscribes racist ideas about Black women's bodies and ways of being in the world as "too much." For Wilson, this white supremacist, capitalist undergirding in wellness movements perpetuates a culture of respectability and restriction that force Black women to perform unhealthy forms of resilience and strength at the expense of their physical and psychological needs. With just the right mix of wit, levity, and wisdom, Wilson shows us how a radical reimagining of body narratives is a prerequisite to well-being. It's Always Been Ours is a love letter that celebrates Black women's bodies and shows us a radical and essential path forward to rediscovering their vulnerability and joy.

In this Episode Asher catches up with their Best. Friend. Kiesha (it's a private joke) in what was meant to be a review of Jessica Wilson's amazing debut book "IT'S ALWAYS BEEN OURS: REWRITING THE HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN'S BODIES". Not quite the intellectual analysis that they had planned, this is essentially a conversation between two good friends, one of whom has to navigate the world as a Black Fat Woman. Kiesha shares her own experience of her body and adds to the already rich conversation that Wilson shares in her book. If you enjoy this podcast and would like to support Asher so that they can continue making them, you can join them on Patreon.

Jessica Wilson, author of the forthcoming book It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting The Story Of Black Women's Bodies, joins the pod to explore the ways in which white supremacy has influenced anti-fatness, the thin beauty ideal, and our current understanding of health and wellness.  This is SUCH an important conversation and imperative to truly understanding the body shame that permeates our society. In order to heal, we must be able to see clearly the social injustice that underpins the diet industry, the pursuit of weight-loss, and the ever-increasing prevalence of eating disorders. Jessica is fantastic, brilliant, and a much-needed voice in this space. Go order her book! Some of the topics we discuss: What's on Jessica's plate right now as an author(!!) and clinician Jessica's body story, her experience of medical weight stigma growing up, and how that impacted her relationship with food Disordered eating and diet culture in her dietetics education How Jessica found HAES and anti-diet work Intersectionality and centering black women in weight-inclusive work The history of how anti-blackness informs anti-fatness and diet culture Where and why intuitive eating can miss the mark when it comes to hunger, whiteness, and privilege Full Plate is listener-supported (no ads!) so please support the show on Patreon for bonus episodes at Patreon.com/fullplate Patreon is also home to the episode transcripts (which are publicly available to everyone, not just our patrons!).

In November 2012, a remarkable movement began. Indigenous people across Canada pledged that they'd be Idle No More. It was in response to proposed legislation that many believed would take the relationship between Indigenous people and Canada backwards. Bill C-45 would affect the Indian Act, the Navigable Waters Protection Act and the Environmental Protection Act. Thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people took action. They used teach-ins, flash mob round dances and rallies to try and stop the bill. It was a resistance movement that shook a nation. And this year Idle No More is 10 years old. This week on Unreserved, we talk to those who were part of the movement to find out how the drum beat of Idle No More continues to reverberate in our hearts, our communities and around the world. Sylvia McAdam and Sheelah McLean are two of the founders of Idle No More. Along with Nina Wilson and Jessica Wilson, the four Saskatchewan women began to spread the word through social media and used teach-ins to educate people about the 400-page omnibus bill. Soon, the movement spread across the country and eventually around the world. Idle No More called out to Indigenous people to rise and Widia Larivière answered that call. In the early days, the enthusiasm she saw sweeping the country hadn't quite reached Quebec. So Widia set out to organize the first rally in that province and it lit a fire in her that continues in her work today with Mikana, an organization that educates the public about Indigenous realities and experiences. On December 22, 2012, bustling Christmas shoppers at Winnipeg's Polo Park Mall were met with a 4000-strong Idle No More round dance. People wearing ribbon shirts, skirts and regalia replaced the winter clad crowd. Drum beats overtook the carols being played over the intercom and soon both levels were lined with dancing people. Aiden Todd brought her then 6-year-old daughter Ryleigh to the round dance that day to make sure her daughter felt the strength and resistance of her community.
