Glass Half Full with Leslie Krongold, Ed.D.
Health & Fitness:Alternative Health
Dalia Kinsey, RD, LD, SNS, chose to be a dietician because she wanted to help people prevent chronic disease; this was before receiving a diagnosis of Graves Disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes an overactive thyroid.
In this first of a two-part interview, Dalia shares anecdotes of dealing with a chronic health condition in another country where certain modern conveniences, like continuous running water, are lacking.
Her lived experience and academic training have shown her that many people make the false correlation between weight and health. Dalia believes,
Health is not just determined by one or two factors. Eating is such a social thing and feeling connected to others and happy and not judging yourself when you're eating, I think also plays a major part as to how your body relates to those calories. And it affects digestion, how you feel about your food, that I think it's important not to have any strict food rules, but the basics that we all know from our mom or grandma from whenever is that you should eat vegetables and you should eat fruit and you should really, really eat vegetables.
As a healthcare practitioner Dalia views her role is "to be a facilitator and there for whatever the patient wants, not to be like this parental figure telling anyone what to do because you know better."
