Rebecca Scritchfield on Body Kindness
Do you wince a little when you get out of the shower and look in the mirror? Listen to this week’s episode of Woman Worriers, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Rebecca Scritchfield, a dietitian, exercise physiologist and author of Body Kindness: Transform your health from inside out and never say diet again.
“People cannot hate themselves healthy—and shame doesn’t make anyone healthier.”
Show Notes:
We don’t always love the way we look. Sometimes we beat ourselves up over what we eat. It’s no wonder, when society puts so much emphasis on how much we weigh. Worrying about our weight and trying diets that don’t work can cause a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety. This week, Woman Worriers podcast host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., interviews Rebecca Scritchfield, RDN, EPC, a well-being coach, registered dietitian nutritionist, ASCM-certified exercise physiologist and author. They talk about her Body Kindness® book, explore how our critical and shaming parts show up around food, eating and body size, and share insights into we can incorporate the Body Kindess mentality and practices into our daily lives.
