Alex Rodriguez (he/him) is an accredited practicing dietitian who practices with genuine empathy, curiosity and compassion for his clients. He aims for his practice to be gentle, supportive, and as collaborative as possible throughout working together. He holds a significant passion for the eating disorders space, stemming in part from his own lived experience of recovering from an eating disorder. He firmly believes that full recovery is possible for everybody, and re-building one’s relationship with food is one of the many special pieces of the recovery journey. Alex is grateful to also be an ambassador for the Butterfly Foundation, where he has, and continues to share his lived experience in many advocacy settings, to build awareness, understanding and hope for all who are part of someone’s eating disorder journey.
In his spare time, the ex-Melbourne boy will probably be outdoors in the beautiful QLD sunshine, moving his body, cooking or cheering on the Brisbane Lions. Alex is looking forward to completing his sports dietitian qualification at the end of 2023 to pursue more work with those who have sporting nutrition goals.

Kasey Potts is a content creator and influencer who shares a unique perspective on everything from food and fitness to body positivity and pop culture. As a New England native now living in Los Angeles, she offers a dual-coast take on parenting, wellness, and humor!
On her weekly virtual talk show, Kasey’s Korner, Potts shares stories and chats with guests who inspire, educate, motivate and entertain. You can catch the show weekly on Instagram or tune in via YouTube or wherever you stream podcasts." It is my goal to be a relatable resource for women. She wants to be the role model she wishes the younger Kasey had — promoting confidence, determination and the courage to dream big. She would love to convince even just one person that they have the power to rewrite the negative narrative that might live in their head. That they are not alone in the “never enough” feeling and proving that they can silence these thoughts and pursue their dreams regardless.
In today's episode, I discuss the four questions to ask yourself if you want to "feel on purpose." Managing emotions is crucial to healing our relationship with food and our bodies.

Kathryn Coniglio is a PhD candidate and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in clinical psychology at Rutgers University studying eating disorders. She has authored over 25 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters in academic textbooks and has presented her research at national and international conferences. Her program of research explores ways to improve detection of pathological exercise as well as ways to help folks in recovery from eating disorders re-engage with exercise in an adaptive, sustainable way.
She has worked as a clinician in both behavioral medicine settings and in eating disorder treatment settings and was continually struck by the vastly diverging viewpoints that each of these “camps” has about exercise. In primary healthcare settings, exercise is often prescribed with a “more is always better” attitude, whereas eating disorder clinicians are often very skeptical of exercise. Her entire program of research explores this gray area that exists in between these two extremes.
