“When most people think of a dietitian they think of someone who is going to tell them what to eat and what not to eat. How to lose weight or how to keep weight off. Being a fat positive dietitian means my work focuses on weight neutral interventions that support the folks I work with in moving towards their own individual picture of health or well-being. Weight is not a target for intervention. I trust the folks I work with and never use shame, blame, or fear as a motivator.” » Meghan Cichy
Today’s interview is with @meghancichyrdn. Meghan is not fat, but she’s a steadfast ally and has been incredibly supportive of my work over the years.
Here’s how she describes herself:
Meghan (she/her) is a Registered Dietitian by training. She specializes in working with folks with eating disorders, disordered eating, and those looking to shift their relationship with food and their body to one that has more room for self-trust.
Meghan is a Certified Eating Disorders Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) and a Body Trust® Provider in training. She approaches her work through a weight inclusive, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed lens by providing collaborative and compassionate care. She works to center the experiences and wisdom of her clients and fosters an environment of trust, curiosity, and exploration.
