Body Liberation For All: Conversations With Anti-Diet Dietitian Taylor Wolfram
An anti-diet dietitian sounds like an oxymoron, but when it comes to true health, nutrition, and healing it’s exactly what the world needs. Enter: Taylor Wolfram. After becoming disenchanted with standard Western ways of helping clients, Taylor Wolfram set out to create her own weight neutral, anti-diet practice that considers how body politics affect us all, human or beyond.
Though we usually connect food with just fullness and hunger, on episode #81 of the Unruly Podcast Taylor explains how food impacts our focus, mood stability, brain function, motivation, and nervous system regulation. In this episode we not only discuss the impacts of restricting food, but ways to heal your relationship with it and your body.
We dive into the difference of subjectively vs objectively being with your body, unpack why an unnourished brain can’t do the deeper healing work, and untangle veganism vs a plant-based, health-focused diet.
“If you don’t currently feel connected to your body or like you can trust your body, know that you can get there. We are all born embodied, intuitive creatures — we’re just conditioned out of it.”
