#74 - It’s Good to be "RAD" Why radical dietetics is a good thing for health enhancement with Dana Sturtevant of Be Nourished

Dana Sturtevant had a wake-up call when she realized her diet and
weight-centered nutrition research work wasn’t really helping
improve health and well-being. She co-founded Be Nourished, a
community outpatient clinic and professional training institute.
Recognized as one of America’s top radical dietitians, Dana
encourages movement toward a compassionate, weight-inclusive
model of self-care to address body oppression, heal body shame,
and disrupt patterns of chronic dieting and disordered eating.

trainer, mentor, yoga teacher, and dietitian specializing in
Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating. She is the co-founder
of Be Nourished, a community based outpatient clinic and
professional training institute that encourages movement toward a
compassionate, weight-inclusive model of radical self-care to
address body oppression, heal body shame and associated patterns
of chronic dieting and disordered eating.

of Trainers since 2002, Dana has facilitated over 3500 workshops
