NWP Episode 154: Intuitive Eating Aligned Nutrition to Support Exercise with Cara Harbstreet RD/N
Have you ever wondered if, as an intuitive eater, you can still apply nutrition science and information to how you live, including how you workout? If so, then this episode is for you!
In this episode with Cara Harbstreet, the non-dietitian behind Street Smart Nutrition, we discuss how to apply intuitive eating aligned nutrition to support exercise, how to know if you have a healthy relationship with exercise and the question everyone really wants to know...do I need to count my macros to support my exercise?!
More about Cara:
Cara is based in Kansas City and is a nationally-recognized food & nutrition expert, author, and consultant. She founded her private practice in 2016 to offer counseling for sports nutrition, intuitive eating, and HAES-informed nutrition services before transitioning to her current work in media & communications. When she’s not tackling diet culture or working on a new recipe in the kitchen, you can find her digging in to a good book or working on a creative project of some sort. You can connect with her on Instagram (@streetsmart.rd) or online through her website, streetsmartnutrition.com.
