At Eat Well Collective we value transparency and ethics in nutrition writing and reporting. The news, reviews and recommendations you read here are independent. You have the right to know if any ‘freebies’ including product samples have been provided to the writer of a post. We do not engage in business with companies whose products or services do not match our personal and professional beliefs.
As dietitians, we’re taught that nutrition impacts health, but what happens when weight doesn’t follow the “rules”? This post explores the tension between nutrition, body size, and a food system that often makes caring for ourselves harder, not easier. From intuitive eating to local food systems, we unpack what actually supports well-being.
Warning: This blog post is about poop. If that makes you uncomfortable, you are not alone. Many clients preface their discussion about bowel movements with a ‘sorry, this is TMI, but…’ and I get it, for many people it feels embarrassing to talk about poop. But I am here to tell you that, as a dietitian, I talk about poop all day long.
This is a tough question – many of us feel burnt out from cooking. Our need to eat is persistent and never-ending. I have a toddler and some days it feels like I spend all day making food. And that’s it. It doesn’t feel particularly fulfilling. I may have a day where I feel inspired to make delicious, nourishing food and on those days, I feel like I knocked it out of the park. But then I wake up the next day and we need food at least three times that day AGAIN. And then I lose all desire to be in the kitchen.
