In this episode, we have Katherine Metzelaar, the founder of Bravespace Nutrition, for a powerful conversation about eating disorders, body image, and diet culture.

Katherine is a Seattle-based eating disorder registered dietitian and the CEO/Founder of Bravespace Nutrition, where she and her team help people heal their relationship with food and their bodies, free from perfectionism, fear, and shame. Her expertise lies in assisting clients in creating greater flexibility and freedom with food by distancing themselves from diet culture and fostering peace with their bodies. She specializes in women’s health, disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image healing. Katherine offers individual nutrition counseling and business coaching, particularly for weight-inclusive health professionals.

Katherine sheds light on diet culture in a unique way, addressing its impact on all of us. She explains the spectrum of disordered eating, ranging from severe eating disorders to negative body image, and how it can occupy our thoughts in harmful ways. Katherine emphasizes that everyone deserves support, no matter where they are on this spectrum. We also explore intuitive eating and delve into the importance of supporting our children in navigating these complex topics, making this episode a must-listen for parents.
