Welcome to the Dietitians Unplugged Podcast with Aaron Flores and Glenys Oyston.  Join us as we explore the idea of health and wellness from a new perspective. Each episode we will discuss topics that we hope to help you improve your health, body image and fitness without obsessing on the scale or counting calories.  We believe in Health at Every Size®, Intuitive Eating, and body positivity and we want to help you build the confidence to ditch the scale, and embrace your health without shaming your body.

Aaron and Glenys reach out to you from home during the global COVID-19 pandemic. This is a time of stress and fear for everyone, and it can really bring up a lot of distress around body image, food insecurity and scarcity, and eating in general.

In this episode they discuss:

  • Their personal experiences of navigating scarcity at the grocery stores and the emotional roller coaster they’ve both been on
  • The hard work and ingenuity their clients and so many others are putting into their healing while stuck at home
  • The uptick in body image issues and how many of us use worries about food and body as a way to control anxiety and distract from bigger worries
  • Dealing with anxiety and difficult feelings during this time
  • How we can use this time to feel better about our bodies
  • How some people actually find themselves thriving in the slowed pace
  • How diet culture doesn’t go away even in extreme times of uncertainty and worry
