In this episode, Registered Dietitian, Kaitlin Theil, talks about her journey and work as a dietitian, as well as how to enjoy food!

"We can build a positive relationship with food by focusing more on how food makes you feel and what nutritional value it can provide rather than why it is bad for us. I want to emphasize how important it is not to be scared of eating our favorite foods. I see so many people limit themselves to a few different foods because they want to lose weight, or they want to try this new diet fad when we should be confident in eating what makes us happy and satisfied when it is in moderation. When we begin to eliminate many of our favorite foods it can lead to binging, we don't make lifestyle modifications, they are only temporary fixes" - Kaitlin Theil MS, RDN, LD
