What is a pediatric dietitian? A pediatric dietitian is a registered dietitian (RD) who is a specialist in assessing the eating and feeding behaviors of infants, children, and adolescents. 

A new year is upon us and with that comes the barrage of conversations (in-person & social media) about people’s resolutions to lose weight, get healthy, detox, or an array of other ways to attempt to control one’s body. 

One of the things that comes up often for me, both personally and professionally, is what it really means to love our bodies. Of course I grew up absorbing all of the messages that the media and mainstream culture have to say about what I should look like

I have been thinking and talking about body image for a long time. Regardless of what topic I am asked to speak on, someone will want to talk about body image. In my office, with patients, the talk is full of pain. Shame fills the room. The air gets chilly and the room grows froid.
