Publisher's summary

The lack of BIPOC and LGBTQ representation in the fields of health and nutrition has led to repeated racist and unscientific biases that negatively impact the very people they purport to help. Many representatives of the increasingly popular body-positivity movement actually add to the body-image concerns of queer people of color by emphasizing cisgender, heteronormative, and Eurocentric standards of beauty. Few mainstream body-positivity resources address the intersectional challenges of anti-Blackness, colorism, homophobia, transphobia, and generational trauma that are at the root of our struggles with wellness and self-care.

In Decolonizing Wellness, registered dietitian and nutritionist Dalia Kinsey will help listeners improve their health without restriction, eliminate stress around food and eating, and turn food into a source of pleasure instead of shame. A road map to body acceptance and self-care for queer people of color, this book is filled with practical eating practices, journal prompts, affirmations, and mindfulness tools. Ultimately, decolonizing nutrition is essential not only to our personal well-being, but to our community’s well-being and to the possibility of greater social transformation.

This is a body-positivity and food-freedom book for marginalized folks. It’s a guide to throwing out food rules in exchange for internal cues and adopting a self-love-based approach to eating.

It’s about learning to trust our bodies and turning mealtime into a time for celebration and healing.

Amazing and Relatable Insight

I struggle and know that I am not the only one. I appreciate someone expressing the same thoughts, frustrations, and hopes.

Required reading for all interested in wellness.

This book is an incredible depiction of wellness practices for marginalized folks. It should be required for all public health workers in any way.

Question everything!!

It is a great introduction for starting to decolonize wellness, beauty standards, worth, etc. Personally, it made me think about my privileges and the responsibility I have.
