Seventy percent of chronic illnesses are linked to nutrition. How do we promote nutrition education while addressing social determinants of health? Rather than a top down hierarchal lens, let’s look at people through the lens of cultural humility; in other words, their lived experiences. On this episode of the Baby Steps Nutrition Podcast, Argavan speaks with Maya Feller, a registered dietitian nutritionist and founder of Maya Feller Nutrition, a private practice specializing in nutrition for chronic disease prevention. Maya is a nationally recognized nutrition expert and recently launched her cookbook titled, Eating From Our Roots! Argavan and Maya discuss the key factors contributing to the rising rates of chronic disease and how to make health education more impactful, her newly released cookbook and lessons learned along the way, her latest farm tour and what she learned about the farming industry and so much more! Don’t miss it!
