Astrid Naranjo, RD
Nutrition is a huge aspect of preventive medicine but there is so much more to nutrition than just the food we eat – the relationship we have with food also matters heavily. Astrid Naranjo is an accredited dietitian in Australia who is extremely passionate about helping people develop a healthy relationship with food. Born in Venezuela, she received her training there before moving all the way across the world to Australia, getting re-certified, and practicing there within the hospital setting. Astrid also has a significant following on social media and owns her own nutrition consulting company where she coaches clients and has had many interviews with industry experts.
In this episode, we focus on how to develop a healthy relationship with food as well as what disordered eating and specifically defined eating disorders look like. We also discuss Astrid’s motivations behind what she does, her story, and her presence on social media.
