#92 - Talking About Food and Bodies in the Home with Anna Lutz, RDN

In this episode, I’m talking about Body Kindness in the family with a fellow HAES dietitian and mom, Anna Lutz. You’ll hear us chat about topics like how to approach food at home that supports HAES and why it is never a good idea to label foods as good or bad, how to support kids of all sizes, how to talk about yourself and others' bodies with kids, how to talk to children about nutrition at a developmentally appropriate level. Anna is a Nutrition Therapist based in Raleigh, NC and she specializes in eating disorders and pediatric/family nutrition. She studied Psychology at Duke University and she has a .Master of Public Health degree in Nutrition from The University of North Carolina. Anna is passionate about family feeding and the non-diet approach in dietetics as well as how schools can “do no harm” in their nutrition education. She blogs at SunnySideUpNutrtition.com Don’t miss these topics on her blog: Raising Body Confident Kids and Variety - It's not Just about fruits and veggies.
