#72 - Weight Watchers, Diet Culture and Our Kids: Four Adults Chat it Out

Happy March and National Nutrition Month! This month the podcast
will bring conversations about nutrition and body image.


(Speaking of: check out MEND, my course on radical self
acceptance with author of Beautiful You, Rosie Molinary)


Bernie is back this week and we have two guests on the show!


You’ll hear fellow dietitian Whitney Hightower talk about what it
was like to be complimented for dieting because it made her body
smaller and criticized for gaining weight when she stopped
dieting.


Then our very own podcast producer Shauna Reid comes on as we
discuss the perils of being on Weight Watchers numerous times and
what it means to offer a program to kids.


About Whitney: Whitney Hightower, MS, RDN, LD is
the Dietetic Internship Assistant Director/Field Supervisor at
Keene State College. She's a Registered Dietitian with seven
years diversified leadership experience in community nutrition
program development and evaluation, counseling, undergraduate and
