For Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2021, a group of Nutrition students at the University of Saskatchewan, Ayesha Khan, Brooke Webster, Chelsea Lussier, and Jayden Souchotte, created a podcast series to advocate for greater eating disorder awareness and education and promote positive eating habits and body positivity. Each episode features a guest discussing various topics relating to eating disorders.
Ep.4: A Nutrition Student's Experience and Perspective
In our fourth and final episode, hosts Chelsea and Ayesha speak with Tiara Keith, a fourth year Nutrition and Dietetics student at the University of Saskatchewan. Tiara shares her personal experience living with an eating disorder: how it affected her life as a university student, how it informed her decision to pursue dietetics, and how her nutrition knowledge has shaped her view of eating disorders. She also discusses barriers to seeking treatment, and how opening up and sharing her experience has helped her to reach the stage of recovery she is at now.
