[Repost] #168: Gentle Nutrition vs. Diet-Culture Nutrition with Heidi Schauster, Health At Every Size Nutrition Therapist
Food Psych Podcast with Christy HarrisonAbout this episode
Health At Every Size® dietitian, eating-disorders specialist, and author Heidi Schauster returns to discuss her new book, unlearning diet-culture messaging, connecting with our body’s inner wisdom, gentle nutrition as an act of self-care, and so much more! Plus, Christy answers a listener question about what to do when it seems like your disordered eating behaviors have more to do with individual mental-health issues than with diet culture. (This episode originally aired on October 1, 2018.) Heidi Schauster, MS, RDN, CEDRD-S is a nutrition therapist with over 20 years of experience in the field of eating disorders and emotional eating issues. She is a writer, consultant, and certified eating disorders registered dietitian, based in the Greater Boston area.

Heidi and her family enjoy hiking, swimming, herb gardening, tea-making, storytelling, and professional stilt performing.
