Happy Friday and welcome to episode 118: Liberate Yourself from Dieting with Dietitian Dina Garcia. I found this gem on Linkedin and now I can’t stop following her on Instagram and facebook. I have this building belief that if we all started to curate our social media pages to nothing but inspiration, information and happiness… we could be taking back control of areas that can otherwise leave us feeling frustrated, jealous, unaccomplished. If you have heard this coming out of my mouth, the whole idea of curating our social media, but you haven’t taken action or don’t know where to start… may I highly suggest starting to follow my podcast interviews. My promise to you is that I will only bring on individuals that meet prerequisites of sound information, inspirational content and an uplifting message. Start today by following Dina and I guarantee you will get your first dose of motivation within just minutes of looking her up!
Before we dive into our interview, I wanted to lay out some of the questions that Dina asks on her website, it will get your wheels turning! She asks questions like:
✓ Do you suffer from cravings?
✓ Always gain back what you lose?
✓ Struggle to consistently exercise?
✓ Do you eat out of boredom, stress, anxiety or other emotional reasons?
✓ Does eating healthy seem like too much work?
✓ Do you want to improve your body image and self-confidence?
✓ Do you have a health condition that you want to improve but not sure what to eat?
Seeing a dietitian nutritionist like Dina, who specializes in intuitive and mindful eating AND is skilled in helping people find do-able strategies to healthy eating, CAN HELP. This is why I am incredibly excited to bring someone like Dina to our Direction Not Perfection Community today!!
Dina has been a Registered Dietitian since 2005. She believes in a holistic, food first, client-centered approach to nutrition, which allows her to help countless clients live a happier healthier life. She understands that every individual has different needs and takes the time to listen and help achieve the clients goals. Dina founded Vida Nutrition in 2012, after 7 years of working as a clinical
dietitian. She has extensive experience with wellness, pre-diabetes, diabetes, renal (kidney) disease, pregnancy, lactation and so much more.
In addition to being a Dietitian Nutritionist, she has 2 beautiful children and when she’s not busy chasing them around or attending back to back birthday parties she enjoys spending time at the beach (living in Miami has a few advantages), hiking, biking, meditating, going to the gym, and vegging out on the couch with netflix, a beer and a bag of pretzels or popcorn. She says, Hey! It’s about balance right? 😊
