It is a pleasure to have Annie B. Kay, MS, RDN, ERT-500, C-IAYT on the podcast giving us what I call a supportive inquiry into our relationship with food. She is an author and practitioner who studied nutritional biochemistry at Cornell, has been a dietician for 25 years in a variety of settings, most recently was the lead nutritionist at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, and currently has a private practice and is a nutrition specialist at Miraval Berkshires. Today, she explains how to navigate the reality that "our culture has a not-so-supportive way of communicating nutritional well-being as it relates to weight." She talks about stress related to body image, ways to approach supporting children with their relationship to food, and so much more. Noting a meme that's been floating around lately in 2020, "It's OK not to be OK," Annie reminds us that we are not alone during this challenging time. For more information on Annie B.
