Culture is often used as all-encompassing term, but its roots are complex. Culture is molded by ethnicity, heritage, geographic location, socioeconomic status, social and familial connections, language, health risk factors, and so much more. Our bodies are often also a reflection of our culture. In some cultures, thinness is revered, while in others, curvy physiques for women and larger girth for men is revered.
To what extent does culture influence body image and, consequently, biases based on those images? For the nutrition professional, this information can impact approaches to care. By identifying and correcting biases, RDNs can set reasonable expectations and enhance patient/client outcomes. This session aims to find ways RDNs can bridge some of these cultural gaps to find success for both practitioner and patient.
