160: Building Body-Inclusive Fitness Spaces with Abby Chan

Abby Chan MS RD is a fellow sports nutrition enthusiast, bringing anti-diet work to both dietetics and the fitness industry. In fact, she built her own body-inclusive fitness space with her spouse, focused on reducing body and weight stigma while helping folks move in ways they want to. Abby holds nothing back when she talks about how the fitness industry "cheapens their trade" by perpetuating weight stigma and focusing so intently on healthism.  Come for this body-inclusive real talk, and stay for an insight into Abby's experiences as a dietitian, fitness pro, and Chinese-American.  Resources mentioned:  Abby Chan MS RD  Diversify Dietetcs & the RDRT Fundraiser Evolve Flagstaff (@evolveFLG) Lane 9 Project Fit Fueling (online course for sports nutrition and intuitive eating) "Girls Running" book by Elizabeth Carey and Melody Fairchild RD Real Talk Patreon Questions, comments, respectful feedback: RDRealTalk at Gmail.com  If you want to join the RD Real Talk Patreon and support the show's mission, you can do so at Patreon.com/RDRealTalk.
