Have you heard about the social determinants of health before? Addressing the impact of systemic problems on health is becoming more common - and for good reason! Though individual behaviors matter to your health, they are not the be-all-end-all solution that diet culture says they are. In this episode, we interview public health expert and Registered Dietitian Deanna Belleny Lewis MPH, RDN to discuss:  What are the social determinants of health? Why does knowing about social determinants matter? How can people who live with low access to health care, groceries, and safe spaces to move work on their health? What can people with privilege be doing to dismantle the structures that reinforce social determinants others can’t change?  We’ve included some resources to keep learning about this topic. What were your reactions to this episode? Direct message us with your reactions - we want to hear from you! Finding our podcast useful?

Is Health About More Than What You Eat and How You Move? with Deanna Belleny Lewis MPH, RDN

There’s so much more to health than what grabs our attention these days (I mean … when can we stop talking about weight!?). That’s why I’m thrilled to bring you this episode with Deanna Belleny Lewis who has spent most of her career working in food policy and directly within community health. She once tried to get rid of BMI as a measure for food program funding and places her efforts instead on the social determinants of health. Everything from our economic stability to the way our communities are designed impacts our ability to be healthy. (Do you have access to different foods? Is your neighbourhood even walkable at all? Has discrimination such as redlining impacted your area?) Deanna also talks with me about equity in the dietitian sphere, advocating for inclusion on every level: from care providers, to those creating curriculums, to those passing health policies—and how we can encourage eating in ways that are both inclusive and individualized. About Deanna: Deanna Belleny Lewis is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Public Health Practitioner currently living in Hartford Connecticut. She is the co-founder of Diversify Dietetics, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the racial and ethnic diversity in the field of nutrition by empowering nutrition leaders of color. She additionally works at the Harvard Medical School Center for Primary Care as the Assistant Director of Health Systems Transformation. Deanna is passionate about creating system-level changes that positively impact health and advance equity for Black and Brown communities. On this episode:  The connection between food and mood Why weight shouldn’t be a focal measure of wellness The importance of community engagement and social support networks on health Movement for the sake of movement and food for the sake of food (nothing more!) Deanna’s experience working in policy. (When Michelle Obama was spearheading the White House's nutrition movement!) What types of change are needed to make healthy choices easy for everyone Why tying BMI to funding for food and health programs is problematic. “We shouldn’t try to determine health based on a single data point.” The history of how policy decisions came to be: who is making these decisions? (Hint: White + Male) The difference between numbers-driven diversity targets and equity &amp; inclusion, which tend to be qualitative and more effective How Diversify Dietetics program is working towards equity + inclusion in the dietetics space  Connect with Deanna: Diversify Dietetics membership – https://www.diversifydietetics.org/membership-interest Diversify Dietetics donation – https://www.diversifydietetics.org/donate Diversify Dietetics Instagram: @diversifydietetics Deanna’s Website: https://www.deannabellenylewis.com/ Deanna’s Instagram: @deanna.rdn Deanna’s Twitter:  @deanna_rdn
