“Food in and of itself can be a source of trauma or adversity. It can also be used as a response to this adversity and trauma.”
In this episode of TraumaTies, host and Executive Director of the Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC), Bridgette Stumpf, and co-host, Lindsey Silverberg, Deputy Director at NVRDC, speak with Kristi Mollner, a registered dietitian nutritionist and clinical trauma specialist. They explore the intricate connection between trauma and nutrition, emphasizing the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on food choices and behaviors.
Kristi integrates trauma-informed approaches into nutrition and health services and spreads awareness in community settings. Food can be a source of trauma and a coping mechanism, both of which may lead to disordered eating patterns. Kristi sheds light on the societal complexities around diet culture to help reduce the shame and blame associated with food choices.
