Welcome RD Sammy Previte to the podcast.  Sammy is a non-diet dietitian and owner of Find Food Freedom and co-host of What The Actual Fork Podcast!

We talk about intuitive eating. misconceptions about intuitive eating, thin privilege and so much more. 

“I have gone through stages in my life where I felt like food controlled me. I had tried every diet and NOTHING worked. I thought I was “being good” Monday through Friday by eating less and working out more. I would give myself a “get out of jail free” card on the weekends by indulging in foods I would restrict during the week. I would cut out specific food groups (cough cough…carbs) thinking that if I just ate less of something then the scale would go down and all my problems would go away…until Monday came again. It was not until I started looking at food as a fuel source and learning how to nourish my body that I was able to feel comfortable in my own skin, improve digestion, and live a life of food freedom.”

Sammy graduated from Penn State University with a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences and a minor in Kinesiology. Sammy worked in the Sports Nutrition department at Penn State with all 31-varsity teams. In addition to working in athletics, she served as a Retail Registered Dietitian for ShopRite Supermarkets in New Jersey.  She specializes in individual nutritional coaching as well as grocery store tours, corporate wellness, and keynote speaking.  She is a Certified Personal Trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as well as a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.

Sammy enjoys working with all different populations. Her favorite part about being a dietitian is helping others create peace with food. Many people believe that dietitians are the food police–this is simply untrue. Sammy believes that food was made to provide our bodies with nourishment and pleasure. Sammy treats each client with individualized care based on their specific needs. Sammy and the entire team at Find Food Freedom are proud to say that they do not support the $72 billion diet industry. Find Food Freedom is rooted in Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size (HAES). Find Food Freedom believes that all humans deserve fair, unbiased health care regardless of the size of their body.
