Watch The Words, Not The Food with Tracy Brown, R.D.

How often is it we complain about our weight, exercising, or dieting? Here's what is odd though: We have no qualms about letting everyone around us know. Ate too much? Complain about it. Indulged in a sweet treat? Complain about it! Food and exercise is one of the few things we have no reservations when it comes to talking out loud about it. But what about the students around you? What message are they hearing?  Even if you are sincere about what you're saying, children may not understand this. Trust me, as I talk about in the beginning of this episode, I found out the hard way with my own children. To help us better understand how powerful our words about food can be, I've invited Tracy Brown onto Anchored in Education. Tracy is a somatic nutrition therapist, a registered dietitian, and an attuned eating coach. Tracy shares her personal story of struggles with food and exercising to help us better understand how we should approach the topic with students. Tracy also leaves us with a wealth of resources that you can find at www.escottengland.com. You can also learn more about Tracy as well as subscribe to the podcast on the platform of your choice.
