The Well Mind welcomes Lizzie Kasparek to episode 10 of the podcast. Lizzie works for Sanford Power as a Registered Dietician providing nutrition consultation for athletes across the lifespan. She is an athlete herself, focusing primarily on endurance running, and understands what it takes to fuel properly to get the best from yourself. We begin this episode with some general discussion around the services that she provides and how people often come to nutrition through diet plans. Lizzie offers cautions about focusing too much on weight loss and promotes a well-reasoned approach to eating that can fuel us for living an active life. She dispels some of the big myths around nutrition and offers actionable tips for eating well. We dive into the dangers of restricting, binge eating, and other disordered eating concerns. We also explore some of the emotional and cultural facets to food and nutrition. Lizzie approaches nutrition from a sensible, balanced, and well researched perspective.
