Ever wonder why we're quick to admire a Great Dane or a Chihuahua for their unique sizes, but struggle to extend that same appreciation to ourselves and our patients? Today, we're unraveling this curious contradiction.

In this episode, I'm talking with Tiffany Godwin, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, about why accepting body diversity in humans is just as natural—and important—as it is in our furry friends.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Why comparing body diversity in humans to dog breeds can shift your entire perspective on patient care.
  • How diet culture sneaks into well-meaning medical advice (and what to say instead).
  • Practical strategies for discussing weight and body image without triggering shame or reinforcing unhealthy relationships with food.
  • Real-life examples of how curiosity and compassion can transform your patient conversations.

By the end of this episode, you'll walk away ready to reshape your language around weight and body image, boosting your confidence to support healthier, happier patients.
