Full Plate: Ditching Diet Culture and Focusing on BIOINDIVIDUALITY – A reflection

As a budding holistic nutritionist, I found it quite interesting when I stumbled upon this new Podcast by Diane Sanfilippo and Abbie Attwood. I had been a follower of Diane’s longstanding Podcast- Balanced Bites- for years and which true to its name focused on Paleo living and eating well in the modern lifestyle. It is also a food brand which helps bring wholesome and easy meals to families. But to my surprise I suddenly came to find I was listening to their last episode and the newest episode of Full Plate all at the same time. Diane explains the transition into the newest Podcast as following her personal change in perspective about health, diet and diet culture. Diane is a well known and successful diet author and expert. A two time New York Times Best Selling author, Diane has written books on Paleo, Atkins and many other popular diets and has spend a large portion of her career with that focus in mind. But what I was drawn to is that having all that success and admiration for years, suddenly she turned anti-diet culture and found herself aligning with boundary setting and the concept of living true to your body. Along with her co-host, Abbie and Diane bring real-talk into the world of deconstructing diets and diet culture. They work through all the static and help people come to terms with their their right to live their own life, their own health on their own terms.

This all rings true to the idea of Bioindividuality and how you need to create the ideal diet around your individual needs. Catch all popular branded diets may work for some people, but not everyone. This is the premise behind nutritional therapy and something I continue to learn about in my CSNN program.

I highly recommend you take a listen. It may just change your perspective on health and what it means to you. It is attainable my friends.

As always
