Nourishing Women Podcast: Period Recovery and Fertility: 362: Best of: All Foods Fit Mentality and HAES on the Internet with Shana Spence RD/N

362: Best of: All Foods Fit Mentality and HAES on the Internet with Shana Spence RD/N

May 20, 2022

Today on the podcast I have guest and fellow anti-diet dietitian, Shana Spence, on the show. Shana labels herself as an "eat anything" dietitian. Shana believes since life is already complicated, why restrict yourself? She created a wonderful platform on Instagram to allow for an open discussion on all things health and nutrition, and also provides virtual counseling worldwide.

In this episode we discuss:

Shana’s journey going back to school to become a dietitian and how she became an anti-diet dietitian
What does an eat everything and all foods fit mentality mean
How allowing all foods into your eating world (sans medical or ethical needs) allows for foods to become emotionally equivalent
Shana’s tips to removing the internal dialogue that tells you that you are “good” or “bad” for how you eat
How to deal with negative feedback on Instagram and how to build a community on Instagram
How Shana practices wellness without obsession

Learn more about Shana on her website and Instagram. Original episode is posted here.
