143: How Diets Quiet Us, Otherness, and Finding Activism with Carolina Guizar

Carolina (Carol) Guizar joins the show to talk about why diet culture sucks, and what it looks like in the Latinx community. She gets real about her lived experience as a Mexican-American, and a woman in this country, struggling with beauty "ideals", thin-privilege within her family culture, and efforts to fit in and avoid otherness. Recently, Carol has taken her work, and anti-diet message to the Instagram account, @la_eathority. Here, she shares "Intuitive eating+body peace for Latinxs".  Follow Carol @la_eathority, or reach out to work with her through LatinxHealthCollective.com.  Covid-19-related resources mentioned:  @Covid19eatingsupport (collaborative account led by HAES®-aligned providers) Marci Evans and Fiona Sutherland addressing challenges for practitioners, on The Mindful Dietitian podcast FREE WIND hangouts for RDs and RDs2Be (join us in the Facebook group for information) And hey, it's OK if you're not getting ALL the things done right now.
