The Full Plate Podcast with Abbie Attwood, MS
Health & Fitness:Nutrition
Today Debra Benfield, RDN, joins the pod to speak with Abbie about the intersection of diet culture, anti-fatness, and anti-aging. This is one you won't want to miss. Because guess what? We're all aging, and it's a privilege. But diet culture continues to sell us a myriad of ways to "prevent" or hide that natural process. Tune in to hear more about how women in mid-life are particularly susceptible to developing disordered eating and what messaging to be wary of.

Debra has helped hundreds of women heal their relationship with food and their bodies over her 35-year career as a Registered Dietitian. She specializes in the prevention and treatment of disordered eating, and brings her passion, expertise, and lived experience to the intersection of pro-aging and body liberation work. Deb’s work is rooted in helping clients recognize internalized ageism and end it, dismantle internalized diet culture and fatphobia, see midlife and beyond as a time of Emergence, nourish their bodies to support vitality and aging, and develop a respectful partnership with their bodies.
