1:15
going to talk about diet culture as a
1:17
Latina and I'm so excited for this
1:20
episode we I don't think we've talked
1:22
about anything like I don't think we've
1:24
had any Latina dietitians on so this is
1:28
perfect
1:30
so
1:32
right let's get into it
1:35
tell us about a day in your life
1:38
what you do for work past education
1:40
Hobbies whatever you want to share
1:43
yeah I think that's a great uh starting
1:45
point I'm currently working as an
1:47
outpatient dietitian here in the Bronx
1:50
and my daily life changes every day we
1:53
do work hybrids still thankfully so some
1:55
days I'm in the office seeing patients
1:57
in person and other days I'm home seeing
2:01
patients through Telehealth uh you know
2:03
Video Phone visits things like that we
2:06
are super busy I work with a team of
2:08
three amazing dietitians me included and
2:11
then we have a food pantry coordinator
2:13
and then other great amazing staff that
2:16
I work alongside with when I'm not home
2:19
that's when I like do all my other fun
2:21
stuff like I run my social media
2:24
platform love your cheat shows and play
2:27
with my dog tuna and do a lot of like
2:30
creative stuff in the fun time like I've
2:33
started
2:34
um drawing on my iPad that's been a lot
2:36
of fun
2:37
cooking I'm always cooking something
2:40
making tick tocks having fun in between
2:43
the days that I or the hours that we
2:45
don't have to be at work
2:47
that sounds like a great balance of
2:49
everything
2:51
that's and you need that creative side
2:54
the drawing sounds so fun I feel like
2:55
drawing has become much more popular
2:57
recently or like it's growing on the
2:59
iPad especially I've heard of this
3:02
yeah it's like a little bit less
3:04
intimidating you don't have to worry
3:05
about like smudging the paper or you can
3:08
erase way easier that's kind of why I
3:10
picked it up um a little bit quicker so
3:13
it's been fun and it feels like a little
3:14
kid activity good for our inner child I
3:17
was just gonna say like healing that
3:19
inner child I love it
3:23
so let's talk about what brings you in
3:26
today so we we've talked about diet
3:29
culture in the past on here but
3:32
so it's always good to have a refresher
3:34
so we want to hear from you what inside
3:37
culture kind of in your words what would
3:39
you say encompasses
3:41
yeah I love this question right because
3:44
when we're thinking of diet culture it's
3:45
like this
3:47
umbrella term for what right and I feel
3:49
like when we're speaking to uh Latinos
3:53
or different folks from different
3:54
cultural backgrounds
3:56
giving examples of what diet culture is
3:58
it's helpful because it's not something
4:01
that's been named necessarily before in
4:03
a way that like oh this thing is Diet
4:06
culture because it's so ingrained in our
4:08
culture that we wouldn't recognize it as
4:10
something else
4:11
um so I think that diet culture is
4:13
anything that disconnects you from being
4:17
who you are right and that can present
4:19
itself in ways of like disconnecting you
4:22
from the way that you feel when you're
4:23
eating or disconnecting yourself from
4:26
the way that you move your body
4:27
disconnecting yourself from the way that
4:30
you look and want to look because of
4:33
media and stuff so I think diet culture
4:35
I like to say is this machine this
4:40
monster that's preying on you in a way
4:43
to like change and it does that because
4:46
it's making money off of you and it
4:48
enjoys making money off of you so the
4:50
more
4:51
that it can like tap into any insecurity
4:55
that it creates
4:57
the more lucrative it is
5:00
um and when I do tick tocks I sometimes
5:02
use a like uh a crab hat
5:05
to like illustrate like the crabby diet
5:08
culture like just coming to ruin
5:11
whatever the experience is
5:14
um
5:15
because you know we just have to like
5:17
identify it see it and then make steps
5:20
in our own lives to like break it down a
5:23
little bit dismantle it in smaller
5:25
smaller ways
5:27
I love that it it definitely is like the
5:30
aspect of always trying to change
5:32
different parts about yourself something
5:35
I always like to say is that your body
5:37
is not this project that like always has
5:39
to be worked on which I feel goes right
5:41
along with your definition there of just
5:42
like you don't really need to change
5:44
even if diet culture is trying to sell
5:46
you the idea of changing so they can
5:48
make money in some way so that was I
5:50
love that definition that was a good way
5:51
to put it
5:52
I also love how you personified it as
5:54
like a crap because I love that that
5:57
helps a lot when people can like see
5:59
something besides talking about this
6:01
like
6:03
when we talk about like theories or
6:05
hypotheticals and people are like well
6:06
what are you talking about like you're
6:07
this this is a diet culture and we can
6:12
direct all of our thoughts towards it I
6:14
love that a lot yeah her name is uh Titi
6:18
Claudia like claw sometimes
6:23
[Laughter]
6:29
well I want to get more into our Niche
6:31
topic of the day which leads us to our
6:33
next question so how has being a Latina
6:37
dietitian affected your experience in
6:39
the dietetic space we're going to get
6:41
more into the diet culture side in a
6:42
minute talking about like cultural foods
6:44
and things like that but
6:45
um first I want to ask like again like
6:47
what is your experience as a Latino
6:49
dietitian
6:50
um in a field that maybe isn't super
6:53
duper diverse to be honest what are your
6:55
what are your experiences and thoughts
6:57
on all of that
6:58
I think yeah firstly growing up like I
7:01
didn't even know what a dietitian was
7:03
really like I knew my mom saw a
7:05
dietitian but I didn't like it was just
7:07
a room that she went to to get some
7:10
stuff and then she would come back like
7:11
that's all I knew
7:13
um so I didn't even know that was an
7:14
option for me to pursue right I went to
7:18
school to be a dentist and then when I
7:19
didn't want to do that my parents were
7:21
like figure it out because you're not
7:23
going to be going to school for the rest
7:25
of your life
7:26
um so entering the space of dietetics
7:30
and nutrition it was very much like
7:33
learning that the Western diet and the
7:36
Mediterranean diets were the diets to
7:39
follow so it was a lot of Erasure of my
7:41
culture and times where
7:44
uh my Foods were talked about was like
7:47
things to avoid or things that were bad
7:49
or things like you need to watch out for
7:51
or this population is going to have
7:54
diabetes so it was always shown in a bit
7:57
of a a negative light and that was like
7:59
something that I had to unpack in my
8:01
professional space actor graduating and
8:05
becoming nrd because in the moment
8:07
you're just like trying to pass all your
8:08
classes and like not realizing what is
8:11
being told to you
8:13
um and then when you kind of become a
8:15
dietitian and you start working in these
8:17
spaces you start to see how these things
8:20
that are being taught to affect the
8:22
people that you're working with your
8:25
colleagues the way that they're speaking
8:26
to their patients as well and it has it
8:30
like Sparks this desire to undo all that
8:34
and like help people be seen
8:37
as they are as you're providing care and
8:40
I think uh being a Latina helps me
8:43
relate to the specific population that
8:45
I'm speaking to because I currently work
8:48
in a predominantly Latino
8:49
um space
8:51
so it's helpful to like know the foods
8:53
that they're talking about validate that
8:55
our foods are nutritious uh also know
8:59
like the habits and the holidays and all
9:01
that stuff that also plays a role in
9:03
build being able to build that
9:05
connection
9:07
so I think
9:09
um it's a lot that it was a long-winded
9:11
response to that but it was it's a lot
9:13
of like having to re-identify parts of
9:16
my culture where they were not like
9:18
celebrated in the way that we were
9:20
taught that's such a good point I love
9:24
how you brought up like you're talk
9:26
we're being taught these things in our
9:28
curriculum and it doesn't really leave
9:30
space for like critical thinking because
9:32
you're just kind of
9:34
trying to pass you're not really like
9:37
um
9:38
what does this really mean or like why
9:40
are why are they educating us this in
9:43
this way and it isn't much nicer like
9:46
after you can think about and be like
9:48
make your own decisions it's not like
9:51
you going up against curriculum or
9:54
saying something different is gonna make
9:56
you get a bad grade it's just that's how
9:58
you practice which is
10:00
good
10:04
I feel like you kind of
10:06
answered
10:07
part of the next the second part of like
10:12
what has being like a Latina dietitian
10:14
the diet culture space been a little bit
10:16
like in the sense of like
10:18
maybe those like different types of
10:19
foods or like they were saying like
10:22
these foods are bad quote unquote we
10:24
always take quote unquote because people
10:25
don't always watch so we have to let
10:26
them know and then
10:30
um
10:31
like the different populations targeted
10:33
in but we can still transition into that
10:35
if you would like to share upon that
10:38
experience like specifically diet
10:39
cultural related
10:41
how do you think you'll you being a
10:44
Latina dietitian has maybe like
10:47
affected your experience in the diet
10:49
culture space so just things maybe
10:50
you've noticed a little bit more now
10:53
that you are practicing dietitian
10:56
I think the fear that diet culture has
11:00
created around our cultural Foods is so
11:02
pervasive when we are speaking with
11:04
people
11:06
and the assumptions that they have of
11:08
what we're going to be telling them
11:09
because we're dietitians and like
11:11
they're already like
11:13
on the defense or like scared and
11:16
uncomfortable because they think we're
11:17
gonna say like yes you're going to have
11:19
to cut out everything white rice beans
11:23
all these things that we know are
11:25
integral to the way that meals are
11:27
prepared
11:28
so being able to have the education that
11:33
we have and understand how diet culture
11:35
works and then being able to be who I am
11:38
with a patient I'm able to be like oh
11:40
that's not really what we're here for
11:42
we're here to like see what's going on
11:45
um find areas where you can add stuff to
11:48
your life that could help you reach your
11:50
goals like really building that
11:52
relationship and
11:54
um allowing for like comfort and ease to
11:57
be in the room because it's very
12:00
uncomfortable especially little kids
12:02
when they come to see us they're like I
12:04
don't want to talk to them because
12:05
they're going to tell me to lose weight
12:06
or whatever the case may be and my team
12:10
we do a lot of work around
12:13
creating a safe space for all of our
12:16
patients that is weight neutral
12:19
um
12:20
so like going against that machine of
12:23
diet culture is really hard
12:25
and then sometimes patients aren't even
12:27
ready to accept that right like we
12:29
understand that diets don't work we
12:32
understand that if you lose weight
12:34
really fast your chances of regaining it
12:36
are really high
12:39
um but some patients are so
12:42
trapped I guess and you could say in dye
12:45
culture that that's scary that is even
12:47
scarier to them than like the
12:49
Restriction that diet culture allows you
12:51
to have
12:51
so
12:53
being able to meet them where they're at
12:56
and whatever capacity is and then like
12:58
helping them reach a goal that slowly
13:03
starts to break down some of those walls
13:06
at diet culture kind of set in
13:08
it's so true like it just often feels
13:12
easier for them to stay in the diet
13:14
cycle they've been in for probably
13:16
decades for some people and that's why
13:18
us just sitting here and saying okay
13:20
from here on out like don't weigh
13:21
yourself ever again and don't ever
13:23
consider going on a diet like that's
13:25
just not helpful advice we have to kind
13:26
of like slowly reel them out of it and
13:29
give them actual tangible things they
13:31
can do to help get away from that
13:34
mindset because they've probably been in
13:35
that forever
13:37
and then what is like it's also a form
13:40
of control like you're telling me that
13:41
oh it's one tool that I had to control
13:43
something I can't use it so how can I
13:47
either learn that I don't need to have
13:49
the control or have a different type of
13:51
control and that's very
13:53
alarming for somebody I know I'm sure
13:56
there's so many patients though that
13:58
come
13:59
to see you and are so glad and relieved
14:02
when they're not like oh my gosh they're
14:05
not gonna make me take out white rice I
14:07
can eat white rice too and they're not
14:10
going they're not gonna weigh me every
14:12
time like it's
14:16
I'm glad we're talking about it now
14:18
because
14:19
there is definitely that like
14:21
stereotype around dietitians
14:24
um and that's to say all of them don't
14:26
are like this but
14:28
we're probably making some progress in
14:31
that direction and I'm sure they
14:33
appreciate it a lot so that's good
14:35
yeah they definitely do they do tell us
14:38
um and then it helps us like the winds
14:40
makes a little bit like more fun like we
14:42
get to celebrate like I ate vegetables
14:44
three days this week like yes thank you
14:46
or like we have a slack Channel because
14:49
we're Millennials and
14:52
um one is just wins and we have lots of
14:55
like patient pooping patient pooping
14:57
like yes everybody's pooping
15:01
um so helping them like see all those
15:03
non-scale victories is like
15:06
great they're small steps but they're
15:08
huge in their life yeah huge well you
15:12
mentioned like the beans and rice for
15:14
example and I actually see patients once
15:16
in a while who
15:17
um are Latino as well and they do come
15:19
to me with a sphere of like we eat like
15:22
a pretty like we eat beans and rice on a
15:24
regular basis like it's just part of our
15:26
culture and they do assume that as a
15:28
dietitian I'm gonna say cut those things
15:30
out they're full of carbs you shouldn't
15:31
be eating those and so I'm sure that's
15:34
even more prevalent in a location of
15:36
this country where
15:38
um
15:39
there is a higher population of Latinos
15:42
so I want to get into that question next
15:45
so how how does culture impact nutrition
15:49
and what is the importance of this
15:52
culture cultural inclusivity especially
15:54
for us as dietitians
15:57
I feel like food is the one of the
16:01
unifiers right so if we're trying to
16:02
think of talking to people about their
16:05
food we have to understand what their
16:07
food is first we have to understand if
16:09
they have food right because I do work
16:11
in the South Bronx so it's uh High rates
16:14
of food insecurity so first we have to
16:16
understand if people have food once we
16:19
know that they have food we have to
16:20
understand what foods they're
16:22
comfortable eating what foods they have
16:24
access to
16:26
um depending on like their income job uh
16:30
time all these things then we can
16:32
understand the patient and the foods
16:36
that they enjoy eating and then we can
16:37
work around those things to help build
16:40
healthier habits
16:43
um and I think it's uh I think it's a
16:46
little bit harder when the resources are
16:49
so
16:50
slim and we're relying on like public
16:52
assistance snap all these things we're
16:55
stretching so much and we're trying to
16:58
say yeah eat your fruits and vegetables
17:01
and all that stuff add them in any way
17:04
that you can
17:05
but recognizing that there's like food
17:08
that's spoiling quickly because of the
17:10
supermarkets that are in the area or
17:13
um not being able to stretch the snap
17:15
until you know
17:18
the next round of payments come through
17:20
right so that part of like the culture
17:24
of the place that I work is something
17:26
that's always at the Forefront and then
17:28
also culturally the foods that we are
17:31
eating trying to assess like what's
17:34
going on I remember I say this story all
17:36
the time it's a little silly but we my I
17:39
am Dominican but we only ate cake for
17:42
like birthday parties baptism like
17:44
special events and I was an intern and a
17:47
patient was saying that they were eating
17:49
a cake every day like a slice of cake
17:51
every day and I'm like how many
17:52
birthdays are you going to like
17:55
and they looked at me like what are you
17:57
talking about and I'm like well you have
18:00
Dominican cake on a birthday or like
18:02
something and they're like no I just go
18:03
to the bakery and I get cake and I was
18:06
like oh my God I did not even know that
18:08
that was an option first of all and two
18:11
it's like okay now I understand that you
18:13
have a habit or like a pattern of going
18:16
to the bakery to get your cake like how
18:18
can we adjust this to help you reach
18:21
your other goals so
18:24
um really being able to like understand
18:26
the nuances of the foods that we have
18:28
and then like helping people navigate
18:30
the systems that are in place
18:33
that feed uh diet culture and also feed
18:37
poverty I love that story so much that's
18:41
so funny
18:43
um I feel like that just
18:45
I don't really have much to comment but
18:47
that's a really good point is just
18:48
diving deeper into like
18:52
she'll set very shallow like oh
18:55
you shouldn't be eating that not that
18:57
we're doing that but it's very much
18:58
perceived where like people make
19:00
assumptions about people's dietary
19:03
habits or their health based off what
19:04
they see but
19:05
I feel like that's a good lesson for
19:07
dietitians and Healthcare professionals
19:09
because
19:10
nutrition always gets commented on
19:12
whether it's a dietitian or not and
19:15
really just understanding
19:17
the why behind the action a little bit
19:19
more and make and not making a 180
19:22
change that's like all right stop eating
19:24
your cake or like
19:26
substitute with like a stalk of broccoli
19:28
that's that's not going to work that's
19:31
funny because it's true
19:33
yeah
19:36
that's helpful
19:37
I know I would I would I would stop
19:39
going to that diet
19:42
[Laughter]
19:44
yeah or they're like oh no realistic
19:48
changes and we're not doing crazy things
19:51
like that
19:54
so what are some of the most common
19:58
we've talked about beans and rice
20:01
what are some of the most common myths
20:04
you've seen that you'd like to debunk
20:06
around Latina culture and food in diet
20:09
culture or just like in general if there
20:11
are other diet culture myths that you
20:13
feel that need to be addressed
20:16
which ones do you want to bring up now I
20:19
think at the Forefront I'm thinking that
20:22
the idea or belief that Latinos don't
20:26
eat vegetables is like the most one that
20:29
like or enrages me because there's
20:32
vegetables in everything that we do
20:34
right and if we're thinking of
20:37
historically how we ate our diets were
20:40
rich in vegetables it wasn't until
20:42
colonization that we started
20:44
domesticating animals so
20:46
we really have this idea that our foods
20:50
are not rich with vegetables and I have
20:51
to
20:52
speak to a lot of people to point out
20:55
the areas where there's vegetables in
20:57
their days
20:58
um
20:59
and a lot of healing like medicinal
21:01
herbs we cook with and use to season and
21:05
prepare Foods those are all things that
21:07
count and I feel like
21:09
because of that culture a lot of those
21:11
Foods get discredited and
21:14
like ignored and not acknowledged but
21:16
they're there and I often encourage
21:18
folks to recognize those vegetables and
21:21
if they want to make their plates like a
21:24
little bit more balanced like add more
21:25
like if we're making
21:27
um boy yogisa which is like a stewed
21:29
chicken or a stewed meat dish a lot of
21:33
peppers onions
21:36
um cilantro all of that goes in there so
21:38
just add some more Peppers so it looks
21:41
like you're having more vegetables when
21:43
you're serving it
21:45
um I think that's the biggest thing and
21:46
it's so
21:48
frustrating because then
21:50
the the option or the alternative is
21:53
like adding these vegetables in that we
21:56
don't really eat growing up and I feel
21:59
like
22:00
Western diet tells us that we have to
22:03
eat these vegetables to be healthy and
22:06
it's like no we have our own freaking
22:07
vegetables that we eat that we eat and I
22:10
think that's part of the
22:13
I have a series which I lost my
22:15
microphone which is why I stopped what I
22:16
found it today for
22:18
um the podcast and it was a Series
22:21
defending vegetables and people started
22:23
like suggesting vegetables that
22:26
culturally we eat and I'm like I'm
22:28
looking up the benefits I'm like wow
22:31
this is even more than I like I knew was
22:33
nutritious and stuff but it's like way
22:35
more than we give it credit because it's
22:39
just full of so many minerals and
22:41
vitamins and all these things and we
22:43
just eat it because it's uh our food but
22:46
they deserve to be you know highlighted
22:48
and celebrated just as much as kale and
22:51
Boston lettuce
22:53
and stuff it's so true I think of like
22:56
like baby carrots and celery are the big
22:58
two I think diet culture is like if
23:00
you're not eating baby carrots as a
23:01
snack every day like you are not a
23:03
healthy person
23:06
I love baby care I do too they're so
23:08
great and I wish that culture would stop
23:10
like making them like on this crazy
23:11
pedestal because
23:13
um they're good but I mean they're not
23:14
this like magical thing that we should
23:16
be eating
23:18
so I'm curious like what vegetables are
23:21
ones that are like really prioritized
23:25
like in the foods that you tend to eat
23:27
for me
23:29
um besides kale I really love kale I I
23:31
worked on a farm and I grew kale and it
23:33
was a lot of fun but I'm a big fan of
23:37
like repojo which is cabbage like we
23:40
have a lot of cabbage I like to add
23:42
different color kind of cabbage
23:45
um I've been really into beets my mom
23:47
used to make a beet salad with pickled
23:50
onions
23:51
and I've been eating that a lot recently
23:55
those are kind of the big ones
23:58
um
23:59
kale onions I have all kinds of onions
24:01
in the house all times of the day to
24:04
make and then avocados obviously
24:07
um Dominican avocados they're bigger and
24:10
more like watery
24:12
and they're better than ours
24:16
yeah I could go on and on I have I've
24:19
eaten a lot of vegetables that's awesome
24:21
that's awesome
24:22
amazing
24:24
well an easy way for them to know what
24:27
vegetables you like is just go check out
24:28
your Tic Tac which we will include in
24:31
The Showdown so now they have no choice
24:34
but if they want to hear more vegetables
24:36
that you like they can check it out
24:37
there
24:38
um and you found your microphone so the
24:41
series can continue it goes on
24:45
so
24:47
I realized I forgot to include this in
24:48
the outline but we always like to end
24:51
with like a final thoughts if there was
24:54
one last thing you want our audience to
24:56
hear to take away
24:58
what would you share with them I think I
25:03
would want everyone to know is to trust
25:07
your gut like when it comes to speaking
25:09
with Healthcare professionals or
25:11
Healthcare professionals are these
25:12
pursuing the field or navigating career
25:15
life like your intuition your gut
25:18
intuition guides you a lot and when
25:21
things don't feel right
25:23
in terms of like policies being made at
25:25
work or especially now with the
25:27
guidelines at AAP
25:30
you know
25:31
um let out like conversations are going
25:34
to be happening in our workspaces like
25:35
trust your gut to navigate you and to
25:38
lead you to create an authentic life but
25:41
also a life that supports other people
25:43
with love
25:46
um trust your gut is always my go-to
25:48
thing for anything your gut tells you a
25:50
lot your intuition can guide you a lot
25:52
more than anything
25:54
