117: Unpacking Anti-Fatness in Health and Nutrition for Body Liberation with Patrilie Hernandez of Embody Lib

Health, nutrition, and food are spaces that can be fraught with harmful and perpetual misconceptions of the body, to the point where many people of the global majority may not always feel safe or heard. My guest this week, Patrilie Hernandez, is someone who works to create more weight-inclusive and nutritionally holistic practices at the forefront of these spaces.

Patrilie (they/she) has over 14 years of professional experience working in the health and nutrition sector as an educator, advocate, project manager, and policy analyst. They combine their academic background in culinary arts, anthropology, nutrition and health with lived experience a sa large-bodied, neuroatypical, queer, multiracial femme of the Puerto Rican diaspore to disrupt the status quo of the local nutrition and wellness community, where they advocate for a weight-inclusive paradigm centring on the social determinants of health. Patrilile is the founder of Embody Lib and partners with nutrition, medical, health, and wellness providers to integrate weight-inclusive strategies that can help improve the health and wellbeing of historically marginalized communities.

In today's conversation, we explore how her exceptional background informs her multi-dimensional approach to nutrition and food, unpack colonial and white supremacist lenses that have long-informed nutritional and food spheres while still looking at the value of science and health, and how their Embody Lib work platform helps people of the global majority reclaim their health and wellbeing.
