Community Nutrition and Free Food For All with Emily Garcia
Manage episode 390750324 series 3540777
In this episode, Michelle talks to certified community nutritionist Emily Garcia (she/they), who practices from weight inclusive lens. Emily lives in Houston and is mom to kitten Ellie who makes several guest appearances throughout the pod (it is delightful)! You can follow Emily on Instagram @nutritionist.emily and visit her website and blog here.
Emily and Michelle talk about a variety of topics, including the land back movement to give land back to indigenous people. Emily has since learned that the idea of “honoring treaties”, which she brings up during our discussion, is not best practices, since so many treaties that were made between the government and indigenous people were made in bad faith or through coercion. Emily and Michelle recommend checking out the book “The Red Deal: Indigenous Action to Save Our Earth” by The Red Nation, linked here, to learn more about this important social justice movement.
The Body Competence Podcast explores what it means to be and raise body competent humans. In each episode Michelle and her guests talk about getting back in touch with our needs, wants, and desires that were suppressed by the power hierarchies of patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, anti-fat bias, ableism, and even our own families.
Michelle navigates topics like body positivity, body neutrality, cycle breaking, food neutrality and so much more. This podcast is for you if you are a human or parent trying to imagine a future without diet culture and other toxic intergenerational cycles but aren’t quite sure where to begin.
