The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hi, I'm Wendy.

And I'm Jess and you're listening to the Food Heaven Podcast.

Your online resource for inclusive and accessible wellness.

We're really excited about our episode today because we're covering a topic that we have never

looked at in depth before and that is trauma and how it can relate to nutrition,

eating disorders, our relationship with food, and pretty much every aspect of our lives.

Yeah, we're going to be talking with Whitney Trotter, who's a registered dietitian and registered

nurse, she's also an anti-racism educator and consultant and a human trafficking activist.

In this episode, we're going to be covering how Whitney got into this work, specifically eating

disorders and how it intersects with human trafficking. How do you identify if you experience trauma,

the different types of trauma that someone can experience. Also, we're going to be going into

trauma-informed nutrition, like what that means, and specifically how trauma can impact a person's

relationship with food. Whitney is the go-to person seriously when it comes to nutrition and also

eating disorders in the bi-pop community. Anytime I'm talking to any other dietitian,

they're always like, oh, that would be great. A great question for Whitney Trotter.

You need to talk to Whitney Trotter about that because she's just such a wealth of knowledge and

she's actually pursuing her doctorate degree at the moment. Before we get started and jump into

this incredible episode, we want to do what we always do and read a review. This review is from

Melissa Aines and it's titled Can Get Written Me, stumbled on this podcast three years ago and I

still look forward to it every week for a dose of positivity and encourage self-love.

Thanks, Melissa. We really appreciate that review. If you haven't already, head on over to the podcast
