DEATS with Deanna: Discussions around Food & Entrepreneurship14 Apr 2025

151. Can you be weight-neutral and help people with weight loss? w/ Julie Dillon

Have you ever felt like intuitive eating wasn't built for your real-life challenges? You're not alone. This week, I'm joined by registered dietitian, author, and longtime anti-diet advocate Julie Duffy Dillon to unpack how we can care for our health without falling into the trap of diet culture. Julie's new book Find Your Food Voice goes beyond the basics of intuitive eating to address chronic conditions like PCOS, shifting body image, and the messy reality of staying grounded in a weight-obsessed world.

From her early days in clinical dietetics to becoming a leading voice in the weight-inclusive space, Julie shares her evolution—and her bold vision for what's next. Julie brings honesty, insight, and a lot of heart to this conversation. Whether you're a dietitian, someone navigating PCOS, or just trying to untangle your relationship with food, you won't want to miss it.

In this episode, we explore:

Why intuitive eating sometimes needs more nuance (especially for PCOS)
What to do when clients want weight loss but also want to feel at peace with food
How to advocate for yourself in the doctor's office—especially when weight stigma gets in the way
The role of GLP-1 medications and how to navigate them without abandoning your values
Practical ways to raise kids who reject diet culture and build lasting body trust
