How to become a caregiver for your own body (with Rebecca Scritchfield)

This week on the podcast, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Registered Dietician, Exercise Physiologist, and Author Rebecca Scritchfield for a juicy conversation about dieting and diet culture, true health and wellness, and how to be kinder to your body. Spoiler alert: Rebecca says that health grows from love and kindness, and not the judgmental, negative chatter or the rigid rules around food and exercise. So grab a hot cup of something and settle in for an inspiring conversation around health, happiness, and becoming a caregiver for your own body. I’d love to hear from you! What stood out most from Rebecca’s interview? How can you start to curate your environment so that your inner caregiver can flourish?
