202: How Diet Culture Deletes Cultural Eating w/ David Orozco

David Orozco RD joins this episode to talk about his experiences as a weight-inclusive, non-diet, Latinx dietitian. We talk about about how he has experienced the wrath of diet culture as it tries to demonize foods that remind him of his Columbian upbringing, and how the Intuitive Eating space is a place where he has found comfort in providing sound advice for himself AND his clients to keep their traditions alive in their cooking. We don’t talk about Bruno, but we ARE going to talk about misguided diet culture advocates claiming that cultural foods like, arepas, empanadas, and tostones are bad. We also chat about his journey through transitioning his practice from wellness to intuitive eating, his experience with being a male in a female dominated profession, his NEW BOOK, and MORE! 

This Episode Covers:

  • David’s journey with transitioning his practice from wellness to practicing an Intuitive Eating approach in the early 2010s
  • How the American standards of food and nutrition impact his teachings 
  • Acculturation 
  • David’s experience with being a male in a predominantly female space 
  • His upcoming book, “One Small Bite”
