In this episode we talk with Chelsea Levy about:

Experiencing the world as a straight sized person and a person in a larger body
Going against the grain of the weight centric health model- as a human and as a dietitian
Chelsea's experience with diabetes and prediabetes both personally and professionally
How the intuitive eating and HAES spaces talk about (pre)diabetes and food choices and how you can explore self care in a way that doesn't trigger disordered eating
Is "prediabetes" a thing we should be thinking about? What's the deal with the controversy around this?
Talking about diabetes as a "theoretical" concept vs "individual" lived experience and how do you make choices that align with your own values.
How to consider your health risks without spiraling into perfectionism and urgency
Building in safe touch points into your care team and community
