0:00.0	Hey there, welcome to episode 392 of the Find Your Food Voice podcast. I am Julie Duffy
0:07.1	Dylan, your host and registered dietitian. Today, when this episode is going to be dropping,
0:15.0	is officially Election Day in the United States. So I want to tell you, I hope you're taking care of yourself.
0:22.8	I was lucky enough to vote early. I didn't want to risk it. I wanted to make sure my vote got
0:28.6	counted. And today, I am setting aside some time with some caring neighbors to watch the results
0:36.5	come in. And I am praying so hard that my
0:41.0	state flips blue. So we will see. I know it's going to take some time before we even know,

1:41.5	letter to food about her fear of diabetes. This dietitian's name is
1:46.9	Gina Forster, and she's been a dietitian for over 20 years and has experience as a supermarket
1:52.2	dietitian, a university dietitian, and now is following her passion as an intuitive eating
1:58.2	counselor. She helps people improve the relationship with food and their body without a focus on weight.
2:03.4	When not working with clients, Gina hosts the podcast Nutrition Unmeasured, and I'm super grateful
