In today’s dietetic field, there is a painful lack of diversity amongst professionals. Whitney’s guest today, Dalia Kinsey, is a firm believer in the power of diversity and strongly encourages dialogue about cultural competence and inclusion in the dietetics profession. Dalia is a weight neutral Registered Dietitian and School Nutrition Specialist on a mission to make nutrition simple, accessible, and fun. She prides herself on using her new podcast School Nutrition Dietitian as a platform to strengthen K-12 nutrition through inclusion and a variety of perspectives. Openly discussing the intersection of weight and nutrition is the best way to change the profession.   Whitney shares: Dealing with the emotional and health effects of others’ microaggressions Facing microaggressions when becoming a dietitian Problems with defining anyone by a physical characteristic Being aware of the influence of someone’s environment Looking at people as individuals and not part of a stereotype Creating a false dichotomy when it comes to racism Feeling overly-welcomed from a predominantly white group How race and gender can affect someone’s medical diagnosis Why everyone is racist in one way or another Letting other people’s racism be there problem so you can work on yourself Correctly responding to knowing that you did something wrong   Links to Resources:   Check out Dalia’s podcast School Nutrition Dietitian   Keep up with Dalia on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or at her website: www.schoolnutritiondietitian.com   Learn more about implicit biases and microaggressions here https://equity.ucla.edu/know/implicit-bias/   Join Club TYB today at www.whitneycatalano.com/club-tyb - join for 6 months and you get 1 month free!   Go to Whitney’s Instagram to sign up for her group coaching program!   For the free binge meditation, go to www.whitneycatalano.com/binge   New clients can book coaching services at www.whitneycatalano.com/book   5 Pillars of Food Freedom: WhitneyCatalano.com/pillars   If you are ready to heal your relationship with food, break free from binge eating, and step into your authentic power, learn more about coaching with me at: www.whitneycatalano.com/food-freedom   For a chance to have your listener question answered on the podcast, or if I said something that needs correcting, you can email me at [email protected]   Follow me! !
