#137 - Listener Q&A: How can teachers help kids with body kindness? What if I’m feeling detached from my body?

Bernie and I are back with another special episode of Learn and
Grow where we answer questions from people who are reading and
listening to Body Kindness.


In this episode, Bernie Salazar and I respond to three listener
questions. Sara says she feels detached from her body as a result
of trauma from pregnancy and birth. She wonders where to start
with Body Kindness. Melissa, a high school teacher, asks how she
can help the vulnerable high school girls with more Body
Kindness. Finally, therapist Marina asks about support for her
intuitive eating journey.


We answer these questions and would love to answer yours too

Join me to “fund the future” of dietetics
I am on the advisory council for a much needed organization,
Diversify Dietetics, a non-profit committed to increasing
diversity in the field of nutrition. Less than 10% of nutrition
and dietetics professionals identify as people of color and our
communities need more dietitians from different races and
ethnicities so they can receive the highest quality, most
culturally appropriate care. Visit DiversifyDietetics.org and
click “donate” any amount. Your donation is tax deductible.

About Bernie


Bernie Salazar is a recovering chronic dieter and former
contestant on Season 5 of NBC’s The Biggest Loser. Realizing that
you can’t hate yourself healthy, Bernie has been a student of the
body kindness philosophy for over three years. You can follow his
journey to self-acceptance on the Body Kindness Learn & Grow
series where, under the guidance of his mentor and friend Rebecca
Scritchfield, RDN he’s worked to unpack both his experience on
and off the Biggest Loser. Finally embracing that his true, happy
and healthy self was always meant to have a fat body, he
encourages others to practice body kindness and work to heal our
relationships with ourselves.


Most recently, he’s co-founded Uniting Soles, a shoe company with
a conscious, where he is working to unite souls with Soles.
Witnessing first hand how providing a person a helping hand, can
help to transform their current situation; Bernie is committed to
serving others. No longer able to stand idly by as families are
being separated at our southern borders, he’s co-founded Uniting
Soles to assist organizations in reuniting families and to
provide aid to those groups fighting for immigration law reform
and family reunification.
