In this episode I have a conversation with the lovely Nadia Felsch.
Nadia Felsch, BHSc (she/her) is a nutritionist, intuitive eating counsellor, feminist and fat activist. She is a white, thin, woman living on unceded Gadigal Country in Sydney Australia with her partner and two miniature dachshunds named Toast and Avocado. Her work is underpinned by the great unlearning of, and healing from the the typical narratives we all hold about food, health and our bodies. Nadia supports folks to re-connect with and trust their innate body wisdom, to find what works for them in how they care for and relate to their bodies - smashing norms along the way!
The conversation go wide and look at topics such as the impact social media and the content we consume there can have on our relationship we have with food.
We talk about the intersection of Diet Culture & Wellness Culture and how easy it can be to get sucked into following the wellness guru in pursuit of health (and possibly thinness and happiness).
Both Nadia and I have been on Instagram since the early days (over a decade) and both our work, how we think about ‘health’ has evolved over the years and we discuss this too.
There may be some points in this conversation that feel controversial, this is what Nadia means when she talks about the “unlearnings”. I would love to know what you are currently learning and unlearning about nutrition, health and wellness.
