In this episode we talk with Chelsea Levy about:

• Experiencing the world as a straight sized person and a person in a larger body
• Going against the grain of the weight centric health model- as a human and as a dietitian
• Chelsea's experience with diabetes and prediabetes both personally and professionally
• How the intuitive eating and HAES spaces talk about (pre)diabetes and food choices and how you can explore self care in a way that doesn't trigger disordered eating
• Is "prediabetes" a thing we should be thinking about? What's the deal with the controversy around this?
• Talking about diabetes as a "theoretical" concept vs "individual" lived experience and how do you make choices that align with your own values.
• How to consider your health risks without spiraling into perfectionism and urgency
• Building in safe touch points into your care team and community
