Podcasts about rd real talk

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast, I talk with anti-diet weight inclusive registered dietitian Heather Caplan. We start off by defining the terms: weight inclusive care, being an anti-diet and non-diet dietitian, and Health At Every Size (HAES). We discuss the importance of a weight neutral approach to nutrition because science proves that weight does not determine health. Heather and I explain the many limitations of BMI and defining health based on body size and shape. Heather talks about the Health At Every Size movement and its mission of inclusion to bring healthcare to all.  Heather talks about her introduction to dietetics and her own struggles with disordered eating that caused her to question the current weight-centered approach to nutrition and diet culture. She shares her career path from practicing in a weight-centered setting post college to discovering intuitive eating and weight neutral approaches to dietetics. We discuss studying nutrition in college and the many flaws with the curriculum.  We discuss the intersection between running and nutrition, and how sports dietitians can have a Health At Every Size approach and debunk the myths surrounding weight and performance. Dieting and weight loss may improve performance in the short term, but we explain how the sustainable path to long term success that allows athletes to reach even higher levels of performance must prioritize health first, regardless of weight.  Heather talks about founding WIND, Weight Inclusive Nutrition and Dietetics, to educate other dietitians, practitioners and more about inclusivity and diversity in nutrition.  Heather was the host of the RD Real Talk podcast for 5 years and she explains how shifting priorities have led to its end. We discuss the importance of change during different seasons of life, including new motherhood, in order to keep pursuing our ultimate passions and goals. We talk about the myth of doing it all and how what we see on Instagram and social media is not reality: the struggles are rarely shared.  Follow Heather on Instagram @heatherdcRD  Find Heather online at https://heathercaplan.com/ and WIND at https://weightinclusivenutrition.com/  Heather's Official Bio: Heather Caplan, pronouns she/her, is a weight-inclusive registered dietitian.

Cara Harbstreet MS RD, she/her, frequent RD Real Talk guest, is back to talk about some fitness things! We start with a casual check in on all things running—a form of movement we both enjoy in different ways. Then we touch on fitness culture and diet culture, scope of practice, and a note on the research and evidence side of things. A content warning: We discuss running in some specifics (numbers of miles, etc.), and quickly review a research article that uses weight stigmatizing language.  This episode features information about the upcoming 2022 WIND Spring Symposium.

Hola amigos! Welcome back!David and Heather dismantle diet culture within the fitness culture. Join us to learn about Heather's approach and her client's success with anti-diet mentality. Highlights of this episode:Sports nutrition and intuitive eating Dismantle diet culture in fitness cultureDifferent types of hungerWeight conversationsSustainable behaviorSuccesses and challengesGuest Bio: Heather Caplan is an anti-diet weight-inclusive registered dietitian. She hosts the podcast RD Real Talk, covering a range of topics related to anti-diet and weight-inclusive work. In her virtual private practice, she specializes in disordered eating, and bringing intuitive eating to athletes and parents. She's the founder of Weight Inclusive Nutrition and Dietetics, aka WIND, and co-founder of the Lane 9 Project—a virtual community for athletes experiencing hypothalamic amenorrhea. Her work has been featured on the TODAY show, and in the Washington Post, Outside magazine, EatingWell, and Runner's World. You can find her online at heathercaplan.com, or hang with her on Instagram @heatherdcRD, where she's keeping it real about parenting 3 kids under 4, training for her next race, and probably not meal planning. Episode Summary: Heather knows not to apply her experience to everyone, yet, she has seen a lot of harm from diet culture show up in her private practice. She says that with a diet culture approach, clients are more likely to drop off and not follow the dietitian's interventions. Knowing everyone is different, Heather gets curious about each client's different lived experiences and provides an anti-diet approach to food and movement. Heather and David discuss the 72 billion diet and wellness industry is hard to call out. There is a growing body of evidence for a weight inclusive approach to health. Diet culture doesn't stop with its old diet approaches. Now, they are listening to anti-diet work and co-opting the language. Heather says this is diet culture's last breath. It is an act of desperation. The big win in anti-diet work is the brain space people get back and be more present with LIFE. Their flexibility leads to satisfaction, pleasure, and joy.

David Orozco RD joins this episode to talk about his experiences as a weight-inclusive, non-diet, Latinx dietitian. We talk about about how he has experienced the wrath of diet culture as it tries to demonize foods that remind him of his Columbian upbringing, and how the Intuitive Eating space is a place where he has found comfort in providing sound advice for himself AND his clients to keep their traditions alive in their cooking. We don't talk about Bruno, but we ARE going to talk about misguided diet culture advocates claiming that cultural foods like, arepas, empanadas, and tostones are bad. We also chat about his journey through transitioning his practice from wellness to intuitive eating, his experience with being a male in a female dominated profession, his NEW BOOK, and MORE!  This Episode Covers: David's journey with transitioning his practice from wellness to practicing an Intuitive Eating approach in the early 2010s How the American standards of food and nutrition impact his teachings  Acculturation  David's experience with being a male in a predominantly female space  His upcoming book, “One Small Bite”  Resources: David's Instagram  David's Podcast  Referenced Episode  David's Website David's New Book !!

It happens every year - on January 1st my social media feeds are bombarded with misleading information and weight loss candor that just makes me ~tired~. It was SO bad this year I had to turn off my sosh meeds notifications all together.

I have been on the RDRealTalk Podcast train for the past 5 years (WHOA). It's been nowhere near perfect, but this space is not for perfectionism! It's a space for questioning the ways diet culture has conditioned us to think there's only one way to do things, following the rules, and being "successful".  So, for the sake of transparency, in celebration of my 200th(ish) episode, I share an honest reflection on my failures (and successes) because I'm human and I'm [still] learning! This Episode Covers: Why I don't archive episodes My hiatus during post-pregnancy How I've fallen short and what I want to do better Why I don't always have sponsors & MORE!  Resources:   • Anti-Diet RD Training & Supervision with Heather Caplan  • NEW Client packages open now!  • The RD Real Talk question and/or topic request form! • Reach out anytime: RDRealTalk@ gmail.com Leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts!

Well, I was ready to tell you why food tracking apps are probably not the "healthy eating" solution you were looking for. But first, I turned to YOU, my community on Instagram @heatherdcRD, and paused to ask you some questions. I could tell I was coming in hot with this topic, and it felt like I needed to stop and actually check in with YOU. And what you shared with me helped me shift the tone of this episode! This episode covers: What a food tracking app is and is not What this tool could be helpful for How this tool becomes harmful, especially when trying to eat intuitively A reminder that we are humans, not robots What I encourage you (practitioner or consumer) to consider before using or deleting your food tracking app!

We're human; we want to know if we're doing something right or wrong! Even when we're not dieting, we want to know, are we doing this intuitive eating thing the "right" way? A listener asked what milestones to look for, how to know if they were being "successful" with intuitive eating. So, this episode explores what that looks like, why that question is so common, and some "success" traps to avoid from diet culture! You'll also here the answer to two Intuitive Eating questions:  - What do I do if I'm not feeling hungry (because of emotional overwhelm and/or stress), but I know that I need to eat? - And, what if I eat intuitively but never eat a vegetable?! I just don't like them!

When you think about the words "health" or "healthy", what comes to mind? Is it diet culture's version of health—a body ideal, superfoods, gallons of water, and the perfect exercise routine?  On this episode, we're taking a hard look at what we think of when we hear the words health or healthy, and getting honest about how we've probably tried healthism on for size.  Then, we take it back!

How does a business owner in the non-diet space take parental leave? Well, this is one look at one person’s experience! (Mine; it’s my experience.)

Bri Campos LPC, joins us again on the show to talk about how dietitians can provide body image counseling within our scope of practice. We talk about what is and isn’t in the scope of the dietitian’s practice when it comes to providing body image support, what to consider for your practice and services, what we mean when we say “holding space for,” and why it is so important to hold space for weight loss goals and bad body image days in this work.

Jessi Haggerty, registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, joins me for the third episode on this podcast series of questions!  In this episode, we dissect the question, what is intuitive eating? We pull back the big veil that social media often has on the words “intuitive eating.” It is much more than a set of principles, AND we should and do give credit to the authors of the books on Intuitive Eating, dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resche. Intuitive eating doesn’t fit into the same box for every person and certainly is full of nuance.    Resources mentioned:  Anti-Diet RD Group Supervision only: Come join us!  Anti-Diet RD Course here: https://heathercaplan.teachable.com/ Where to find Jessi:  Instagram: @jessihaggertyrd Website: jessihaggerty.com Twitter: @jessihaggertyrd The Body Love Podcast Reach out anytime: RDRealTalk at Gmail.com Leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts!  Your Host: Heather Caplan RD  @RDRealTalk (IG), @heatherDCRD (Twitter) Download the NEW Anti-Diet RD Guide to Weight Loss Conversations by clicking here, and subscribe to the RD Real Talk newsletter!

Jessi Haggerty, registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, joins me for a podcast series of questions!  In this episode of the series, we totally deconstruct diet culture, why it matters, and how to recognize it in all its sneaky tactics. For example, most recently diet culture decided to slap “Intuitive” in front of fasting, trying to gaslight folx into thinking that meticulously planning ahead and eating at certain times of day while fasting for an exact number of hours is, in any way, intuitive.

Whitney Trotter RN RD is here to talk about the ways we must start revolutionizing eating disorder care, to do no harm when caring for marginalized identities. Whitney is both a registered nurse and registered dietitian, an anti-diet practitioner, and an advocate for social justice reform in eating disorder treatment.
