Alyson McAdams RD and I (let's be honest, I have a lot to say here), talk about our culture and the grip body and health obsession has (or has had) on so many of us. Alyson is a non-diet, weight-inclusive dietitian specializing in disordered eating, intuitive eating, and family nutrition. Alyson works to help others develop a strong, flexible, and positive relationship with food. She is passionate about helping you discover peace with food and your body so you can show up fully for what matters to you in life. Formally, Alyson is a registered dietician, her focus is so much bigger than food. And as many of us have come to understand, it is never really about the food.
Alyson is dedicated to having an honest look at the culture of dieting, fitness, media, and the unworthiness that is born of it. She wants to help other humans free themselves from these chronic concerns and help heal and ultimately liberate us from this toxic energy suck (my words, not hers).
This is a very personal conversation for me too as it is a space I had struggled with for a long, long time and ultimately a journey that has offered me so much wisdom and insight having waded through it.
Alyson is a social justice advocate, she promotes the Health at Every Size (HAES) initiative. .
