Fellow body-positive RDs Rebecca Scritchfield and Julie Duffy
Dillon return for a special episode in honor of NEDA Week and
National Nutrition Month! We discuss our new joint campaign
#ChangeTheGame, why the nutrition field often plays right into diet
culture, why we need to stop prescribing one thing to people with
diagnosed eating disorders and another thing to the rest of the
population, how dieting messes with your mind, and lots more!
