January 2024 Survivorship Special Topic: Body Image and Nutrition for your Nervous System
Today’s episode is the first survivorship special topic for 2024! Our expert speaker today is Debra Benfield, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Certified Yoga Teacher. Debra is the founder of Body in Mind Nutrition, a body positive nutrition therapy practice here in Winston Salem. You can find Debra on IG @agingbodyliberation and her website has more podcast interviews and resources.  https://www.debrabenfield.com/media.
We decided to do this topic because first of all, it’s January! We’re all thinking of a New Year and what we might want to reset in life. Obviously, some of the things we’d really like to reset, we have no control over. However, how we cope with cancer and the impact it has on our lives is something we can influence, and the nervous system is something that is very connected to our mental health and well-being.
