Show notes

Episode description: Dietitian Bailey Weirens joins Peace Meal to discuss the truth behind nutrition and healthy eating. Bailey discusses the importance of calories, why macro and micronutrients are important, and what recovery meal plans are. By advocating for an anti-diet approach to nutrition and promoting body acceptance, Bailey enlightens listeners on the importance of listening to our bodies in order to sustain long-term health and wellbeing. — Episode show notes: Bailey Weirens is a registered dietitian who works at The Emily Program’s Anna Westin House in Minnesota. Bailey believes in an anti-diet approach to body acceptance and looks forward to starting a nutrition blog later in the year. Bailey describes nutrition as the act or process of being nourished in relation to the body’s dietary needs. She believes nutrition is person-specific, so what works for one person may not work for another. This is why eating disorder treatment centers offer individualized meal plans. “Let’s Talk Nutrition!” also addresses common health-related questions such as why we need calories and carbs and what macro and micronutrients are. Bailey talks about diet culture, meeting your body’s nutritional needs, and why meal plans are important in eating disorder treatment. Bailey finishes the podcast by advocating for an anti-diet approach to healthy living and the necessity of listening to what our body needs. Her final advice is to be patient—unlearning diet culture and weight stigma is challenging.

Episode description: This is the first episode in our new Recovery Series. The Recovery Series aims to share stories of those in eating disorder recovery in hopes of starting conversations, breaking stigmas, and encouraging healing. On this episode, host Claire Holtz sits down with Japanese-American singer-actor Anna Hashizume as she shares her story of healing. — Episode show notes: Anna Hashizume is a singer-actor and voice teacher in the Twin Cities. She has her undergraduate degree in music and theater and her Master’s Degree in music. After school, Anna decided to broaden her scope of performing and now does opera, musical theater, and plays. She has a YouTube channel under the name of Anna Miyuki where she strives to create a place where actors and singers can navigate the world of performing without feeling so alone. On the show, Anna shares how she first developed an eating disorder at 19 and how it changed her life. Anna shares the importance of her family in prompting treatment and how they were a driving force in her recovery. From starting treatment at Indiana University during the school year to attending The Emily Program during the summers, Anna learned ways to cope with her disordered eating and started developing a more healthy relationship with her food and body. Today, Anna is in eating disorder recovery and says the best part of recovery is peace of mind. She no longer spends time thinking about food or what she will eat and says that brain space now goes to all of the projects that she loves to pursue. She says this peace of mind allowed her to excel in what she really loves doing—performing and teaching. For those interested in Anna’s work, you can find her at her website, Instagram, or YouTube.
