Wonderfully Made (Part 1)- A Series on Body Image

Happy New Year! We're spending our first four episodes of 2020 on a very popular and requested topic from our listeners- body image. Ever wondered how bathroom scales got in your bathroom? Or who invented the BMI chart? Rebecca Scritchfield, RDN joins us to shed light on the topics of diet culture, our bodies, raising kids who don’t pick themselves apart in front of a mirror, and learning to be nice to ourselves and pursue health in a realistic and, well, healthy way. The interview was so dense and rich that we've split it up into two episodes. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and big thanks to Rebecca for bringing your wisdom and passion to Woven! (that's 3 Rebeccas if you're counting, ha ha.)   About Rebecca Scritchfield:  Rebecca is a well-being coach, registered dietitian nutritionist, ACSM certified exercise physiologist, and author of the book, Body Kindness: Transform your health from the inside out and never say diet again (Workman Publishing), which Publisher’s Weekly calls “a rousing guide to better health” and The New York Times Book Review calls “simple and true”.   Through her weight-inclusive Body Kindness counseling practice, Rebecca helps people reject diets and body shame to create a better life with workable, interesting self-care goals to fit individual’s needs and preferences, not society’s unrealistic weight and beauty standards.   Rebecca has influenced millions through her writing, podcast, workshops, and appearances in over 100 media outlets including NBC Nightly News, CNN, the TODAY show, O Magazine, Real Simple, Time, and many others. Rebecca is a freelance writer for The Washington Post and Self magazine, an advisor to Health Magazine (2019) and Diversify Dietetics, and a mom of two young girls. She lives in Washington, D.C., where she was recognized as one of ten “Supermom” entrepreneurs in the Nation’s Capital.   Rebecca Scritchfield website    Rebecca in January's Real Simple    Buy Body Kindness   Listen to the Body Kindness Podcast
