33. We Are Not Experts on Someone Else's Lived Experience

Meet Christyna Johnson. She is a weight inclusive registered dietitian who works with disordered eating, eating disorders, and intuitive eating. She practices from a Health at Every Size®, social justice, trauma-informed and person -centered approach.  Alison and Christyna talk about some tough issues related to social injustice and how the narrow view of "healthy eating" excludes many in the BIPOC community. Christyna brings an inclusive and diverse perspective to her private practice and in her Podcast Intuitive Eating for the Culture.
