In this powerful and heartfelt episode, we sit down with Lisa Pearl, MS, RD, LDN, CED-S—a pioneering voice in the eating disorder field and founder of CNC360 in Lexington, MA. With over 40 years of experience as a dietitian, educator, and advocate, Lisa shares her journey from being one of the only clinicians challenging diet culture in the 1980s to building a thriving, values-aligned team committed to inclusive, weight-neutral care.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone doing this work—whether you're just starting out or decades in. Lisa brings both wisdom and vulnerability as she reflects on:
What it meant to speak out against diet culture before it was mainstream
How community has evolved—from isolation to interdependence
The toll of burnout and the systemic challenges that make ethical care so difficult
Ageism in the field—and why we need seasoned voices..and much more!
Lisa’s voice is one of clarity, courage, and deep care. Tune in and be reminded why this work matters—because full recovery is possible, and every provider has a role to play in creating systems of true healing.
