If the diet was meant to work, we wouldn’t need to keep dieting! In this week’s episode we are joined by Sam Berkowitz a registered dietitian who helps individuals untangle their relationship with food to discover a life free of diet culture, guilt, and food rules. Sam takes a health at every size approach using intuitive eating practices. We discuss why dieting and big new years lifestyle changes often fail us rather than the other way around - you failing the diet. We explore alternative approaches to dieting and ways to support your overall wellness in the new year in a sustainable and supportive way.

In this episode we discuss:

• Sam introduces herself and shares more about how she works with clients as a nutritionist.

• We discuss diet trends and big lifestyle changes around the new year that often fail people.

• How dieting affects our body both physically and mentally. 

• The importance of diversifying our approach and idea of wellness beyond losing weight and dieting to be thin.
