The BodyLove Project with Jessi Haggerty

Welcome to The BodyLove Project Podcast, I’m Jessi Haggerty a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Personal Trainer living in Boston and, your host! Each episode we’ll dive into a different topic where we dig deep to develop a healthier relationship with food and your body. In a nutshell, this podcast is about loving your body. Whether that means learning how to nourish your body with food, movement, meditation, or positive self talk. My hope is to help listeners take one step closer to mending their relationship with food and their body, so they can show up for the parts of their life that matter most.

In this episode I talk to RD to be Kimmie Singh about her dietetic internship experience, weight stigma in the healthcare field, how medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and Health at Every Size (HAES) are aligned, and how Intuitive Eating is still possible, even if you have PCOS with insulin resistance! This episode is definitely geared towards RDs, but if you’re not an RD or healthcare provider don’t turn away too quickly - I think everyone can benefit from listening to this conversation.

In the episode we talk about:

  • Kimmie’s Dietetic Internship Experience.
  • Weight stigma in the healthcare field.
  • How MNT (Medical Nutrition Therapy) and HAES are aligned!
  • PCOS and Intuitive Eating.
  • Honoring your humanity as a clinician.

In this episode I talk to fellow dietitian Anna Sweeney. Anna is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian with a private practice in Concord, MA. But we don’t talk about eating disorders or nutrition in this episode. Anna talks about her experience living in a disabled body, how her relationship with movement has evolved since childhood, and what her experience with movement is like now.

In the episode we talk about:

  • Anna’s relationship with movement as a child, and how that changed after her MS diagnosis.
  • What people might not know about Multiple Sclerosis.
  • Diets for chronic illness (specifically MS).
  • What Anna’s relationship with movement is like now.

In this episode I talk to Soraya Chemaly, an award winning writer and author of Rages Becomes Her, the Power of Women’s Anger. After reading Soraya’s book last year I was so excited to finally have her on the podcast to talk about all of the parallels between women’s anger, diet culture, and body image. And as expected, she did not disappoint. This episode is chock full of amazing nuggets of wisdom from Soraya and ends on a more inspirational note, to help us all use our anger for the betterment of ALL bodies.

In the episode we talk about:

  • Why Soraya’s book is not a self-help book.
  • Anger and gender norms.
  • Why confidence isn’t always a good thing.
  • How suppressed anger (or living in a culture that suppresses women’s anger) can disrupt interoceptive awareness.
  • Gaslighting 101.
  • How to move forward with this information.
