Ep. 8: From Cook to Journalist to RD, Christine Byrne’s Journey

August 4, 2020 By Maura Dillon Leave a Comment

An interview with journalist and registered dietitian-to-be, Christine Byrne. She writes about food, nutrition and physical activity with an anti-diet, Health At Every Size®, body positive, Intuitive Eating perspective. We touch on lots of topics including: 

  • Her path from line cook in a restaurant to a graduate student in the Masters of Public Health/Nutrition program at UNC Chapel Hill. (This happens to be the same program where co-hosts Elizabeth Davenport and Anna Lutz met almost 20 years ago).
  • What Christine learned working on her recent article for HuffPost: The BMI Is Racist And Useless. Here’s How To Measure Health Instead.
  • One thing she recommends listeners do if they want to change their relationship with food.
  • What Christine is cooking these days and her top 2 favorite recipes she developed.
