When it comes to food & nutrition nothing is as black or white as it seems. In the 50 shades of food & nutrition podcast, registered associate nutritionist (ANutr) Isa Robinson interviews experts and just downright legends to get at the nuances, the cracks and crannies, and shades of grey when it comes to what it means to be “healthy”. Disclaimer - it doesn’t have to involve a life of rice cakes and spirulina. If you’re working to cultivate a “healthier” relationship to food & body, make peace with your plate, fight diet culture and explore the realms of intuitive eating, this ones for you!
