Body Image & Nutrition, Postpartum & Beyond: Alexandra Paetow, Registered Dietician, Ep. 117
- Body Image & Nutrition, Postpartum & Beyond: Alexandra Paetow, Registered Dietician, Ep. 117 Kate Cherichello 18:22
Today’s guest is a registered dietician who is passionate about helping women, particularly moms, heal disordered eating and nourish their bodies and their families so they can lead more fulfilling lives.
**Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. Here we talk to individuals who are doing just that, individuals from all walks of life and industries.
Something I love about human connection and inspiration is how you needn’t be from the same place or a similar background to get so much out of hearing from a person – In fact, I think it is better that way– We notice how we as humans are so similar in so many ways, and how EACH of us has so much power to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others.
I hope you are inspired here to start, restart, or continue your journey of finding your passions and helping others along the way.**
Alexandra Paetow, RD, has a virtual private practice in New Jersey and lives in South Orange with her husband and three young children.
She explains: “So much of the current information we hear about nutrition is from a lens of restriction instead of nourishment; and the narrative around bodies is that smaller is better and you should change your body to achieve health and happiness. For new moms that narrative is quite loud. Parents also are overwhelmed with trying to achieve the “perfect” nutrition for their kids, feeling like they can never measure up. My work is in trying to combat these messages to prioritize nourishment in an attainable way and healing your relationship with food and your body so you can live your life without the burden of that negative Diet/body shaming noise running the show and give the same to your kids.”
