168: The Truths About Gentle Nutrition with Rachael Hartley RD

Rachael Hartley is a private practice dietitian and author of the upcoming book, Gentle Nutrition. In this episode we are talking about her new book, coming to the world on February 23, 2021! We also talk about what might happen when we talk about gentle nutrition first, how this concept is the foundation for non-diet work, and also how hard this topic can be because of diet culture’s influence. Rachael also penned a nutrition hierarchy of needs—a new tool in your non-diet toolbox—and talks about the power of small changes as opposed to diet cultures promises. AND the book provides 50 recipes, so you basically get two-for-one!
