We welcome Fiona Sutherland, director of the Mindful Dietitian, into the red zone today. Fionia is one nerdy and well-informed sports dietitian. She has worked with elite-level athletes including gymnasts and divers. Her knowledge and understanding of eating disorders in sport are unbelievable. She hits us over the head with pure facts and logic. She challenges both Tait and I's understanding of the evidence-based funnel and the risks associated with weight category-based sports. How can we minimize these impacts through the environment we create and the langue that we use?

Fiona Sutherland wrote a book and she is here to talk about it.  Vitamin A to Z is "mini book" that is not lacking on punch.  Fiona herself describes it as "Namaste meets WTF".  By balancing sensibility and edge Fiona lets her readers experience a new set of Vitamins that will help bring yourself back to your body. In this episode Lori speaks with Fiona about how the book came to be, some insights into a few of the Vitamins and what Fiona hopes the book can do for readers. The soft cover book can be purchased at www.debutbooks.com/au  Or e-versions are available at various book outlets

In Is Diet Culture Gaslighting Us?, I interview Fiona Sutherland, also known as, The Mindful Dietitian. She shares about her own history with body image concerns, diet culture throughout time, the overwhelm women feel at the confusion about what they ‘should’ be eating, how diet culture gaslights us, the stories we tell ourselves about food, food rules and where food rules come from, black and white thinking about whether food is ‘good, clean, healthy’ or ‘bad, dirty, unhealthy’, carbophobia; it’s history, whether carbs are bad and why we end up bingeing on carbs, and how we can heal our relationship with food through intuitive eating, health at every size, self-compassion and trauma informed yoga. 

This week I am joined by Fiona Sutherland, who you may know as the Mindful Dietitian online. Fiona is a non-diet dietitian who specialises in Sports nutrition and Eating Disorders. In this episode we discuss how nutrition can play a role in sport and performance and how we can navigate that without slipping back into old diet culture patterns. Plus we answer your questions on this too from protein to tracking macros!
