Plate by Plate to Recovery with Wendy Sterling

Conversations with Dietitians about body inclusive practice

Fiona is a treasure among lay people and non-diet professionals. She has a calm demeanor yet gets appropriately fired up to call out the systems of oppression that keep diet culture in place. This is a must listen from all corners of the world.

Sugar and spice

Fiona is a crackerjack!! So passionate. Has great interviewing skills and chooses interesting people to come on the show. Definitely one of my top 5 HAES/weight inclusive podcasts. She’s very research based and I love to hear her discuss the science behind it all. And her Australian accent is a major bonus.

Solid HAES podcast

How guiding values can form the core of a healthcare team   Why providing a safe space for clients is so important   What does being a “Fat Positive” provider mean?   The importance of authentic allyship so that we can offer care and services that are body-affirming   Practical tips to move in a more affirming practice direction   How to elevate the experience and perspective of those with lived experience   The development of the Health At Every Size (R)-aligned MNT resources (see links below to download!)     Find out more: Instagram and Facebook: @creatingpeacewithfood  Facebook: @meghancichyrdn www.creatingpeacewithfood.com  www.rooted-heart.com   As mentioned in Podcast: Google Drive for HAES &amp; MNT Handouts Body Trust Summit (March 2020) Becoming Eating Disorder Aware Training Series (Jan 2020)   More about Meghan: Meghan (she/her) is passionate about working with her clients from a weight neutral, Health at Every Size ® perspective and believes in self-compassion as a foundation for re-building trust, connection, and confidence with ones own body. Meghan is a traditionally trained dietitian, however, her philosophical approach to nutrition counseling is anything but. She focuses on centering her clients as an expert in their own explorations and healing process, and supports her clients in building connection and confidence in their own innate intuition. Meghan believes that all bodies, regardless of size, shape, color, ability, age, or gender identity deserve access to respectful and high quality care. Her work with clients incorporates weight neutral approaches to self care utilizing a Health at Every Size approach. She works with her clients to support them in defining health for themselves and dismantling the idea that health is a moral obligation. Meghan also recognizes that her clients needs are vast and diverse. She takes the time to consider the big picture of her clients’ lives and lived experience in order to best support her clients in their food and body healing work. She utilizes a flexible approach to food and eating grounded in reconnecting to hunger, fullness, appetite, satiety, and pleasure. Meghan is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) and is currently working towards her Body Trust certification. She enjoys working with clients who are interested in healing and strengthening their relationship with food and their body. Because Meghan recognizes that everyone comes to this work at a different point on the body liberation continuum she is eager to meet her clients where they are and enjoys walking the path along side them. Meghan’s personal life aligns with her professional life as she finds great joy in supporting her preschooler and infant in discovering the wonder of their body and pleasure in their eating. Her recreational reading leads her to deeper dives into social justice and anti-oppression work, and she finds joy in spending time in the outdoors and engaging in group movement like hiking and soccer.

She enjoys working with clients who are interested in healing and strengthening their relationship with food and their body. Because Meghan recognizes that everyone comes to this work at a different point on the body liberation continuum she is eager to meet her clients where they are and enjoys walking the path along side them. Meghan’s personal life aligns with her professional life as she finds great joy in supporting her preschooler and infant in discovering the wonder of their body and pleasure in their eating. Her recreational reading leads her to deeper dives into social justice and anti-oppression work, and she finds joy in spending time in the outdoors and engaging in group movement like hiking and soccer.

Jenna Hollenstein

Jenna Hollenstein on compassion and witnessing the evolution of Dietetic practice, asking "is this a tipping point?" Jenna shares witnessing a new mood, observations of the current tipping point, the importance of compassion as we evolve as clinicians and as we witness the evolution of others, what compassion is and isn’t and how we embrace it, mindfulness and meditation; the notion of acceptance, making connections and a new training opportunity available for dietitians.  Here Fi and Jenna speak about: Living in NYC; its overstimulating nature and rich diversity with many opportunities for observation. Attending the 2019 FNCE; ‘The Superbowl for American Dietitians’ and its significantly different presence. The current tipping point within the dietetic community and profession - the hunger for IE and HAES exposure from students and dietitians early on in their careers. Why its important to enact self-compassion and not turn to self-aggression as we evolve and change. The misconceptions of self-compassion;  What it really is and what it isn’t. The need to balance feminine and masculine qualities. How we can embrace self-compassion through this environmental shift by being conscious and aware of our evolution and the evolution of others.  Compassion VS Idiot Compassion; understanding the complexities of the human experience and the need to call out / call in – and knowing it’s not easy!  Mindfulness in practice through connections and the notion of acceptance.

Jessica Campbell

Jessica Campbell on showing up, doing the work and the issues around "niceness"   Here Jess shares:  Her experience and the challenges as a medical student, bringing with her a background in HAES/non-diet nutrition and time spent interacting and being with clients. About the ‘Alternative Category’ – diversifying the allied health field and attracting questioners and curious students (way to go OTAGO!). The importance of being curious and asking the core, but uncomfortable, questions both internally and externally to encourage the integration of social justice into allied health, nutrition and dietetics. Showing up and wanting to learn versus showing up and wanting to do the personal work. Why it’s crucial that we as health professionals examine, acknowledge and accept our privilege with honesty and how these privileges influence our bias. ‘Doing the work’ – what does/could this mean for you? ‘As helping professionals, we are educated to leave ourselves at the door’; how sitting with the ‘uncomfortable’, allowing emotions and validating can facilitate true healing.  The shame response; ‘it’s not our privilege parameter that we should feel any shame and guilt about, it’s our inability to recognise it, and then once recognised, failing to act or allowing its enactment’ The ‘but I’ve worked hard’ response; failing to recognise that privilege and oppression dictates/impacts access.    What is ‘tone-policing’, how it impacts and how we can respond.  The harmful expert badge - ‘A whole other podcast’ – ah yes please!!

Lucy Aphramor

Lucy Aphramor on disrupting narratives, how relationships with food can serve as a vehicle for deeper work, &amp; redefining the default for "good Dietitian."   What interrupts our access to our body story – what is permissible and accessible? How can we provide a space where “I am OK” is available? Relational ways of connecting using a variety of frameworks using metaphors and stories Assumptions that are made through the dominant medical framework The importance of validation &amp; enquiry When people discover it for themselves, then I help theorise it How we can support people to understand their own story The “health” narrative is so powerful that people will erase their own story Supporting people to take their own story seriously Food, eating and body are the vehicle for the deep work…. Being guided by values Being able to sit with our own discomfort, stepping away from “fixing” What defines a “good Dietitian” If “fixing people” and “telling people what to do” is a strong part of our professional identity, and if I want to be a “good Dietitian” then that will be our default….. Acting with integrity and acknowledging when we’ve got it wrong Self compassion is for everyone, including us! How Lucy weaves in self compassion Disconnection stops compassion from flourishing What does "The Magic Biscuit" say to you? Honouring story as a powerful way of connecting Visibility, and taking risk Walking away is always a walking towards..... The practice of taking choices...... Creating three examples as a way to move away from the binary Lucy's dream Dietetic course!! Expand the definition of what it means to be a Dietitian, "do" Dietetics How we can understand how trauma shows up - and why it's pivotal     Link to The Magic Biscuit  More About Lucy: www.lucyaphramor.com
