This week Laura's joined by Fiona Willer, HAES dietitian + PhD researcher, director of Health Not Diets + author of The Non Diet Approach Guidebook for Dietitians. They take a deep dive into the current evidence within the weight science arena, pulling it apart to figure out what we can learn from it + improvements that need to be made in research + clinical practice going forward.
In this episode they discuss:
✨ The historical inaccuracy of the paleo diet using Fiona's archeological knowledge
✨ Unpacking the evidence in weight science + how it's so important that we read it critically
✨ What "statistical unicorns" are + the problems w/ the National Weight Control Registry
✨ Weight bias in the context of Tess Holiday's Cosmo cover + why the term 'weight bias' is probably not very accurate
✨ Nuggets of wisdom for what to do if you know that diets don't work but your doctor tells you to lose weight ... again
