ABOUT US: We are two dietitians who specialize in diabetes care and eating disorders:

• Kelly Six, MS, RD, CDCES, who really likes working in diabetes care because we get to have one foot in the nerdy side of diabetes and the other foot in the emotional side of living in the world with diabetes.
• Erin Phillips, MPH, RD, CDCES, who really agrees with Kelly and couldn't have said it better herself.
• We both love cats, snacks, and laughing too loud in Seattle coffee shops.

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
