When we talk about nutrition, health, and wellness, we often assume that everyone has the same opportunities, abilities, and experiences. But for the more than one billion people worldwide living with a disability, the reality can be very different. Misconceptions, stigma, inaccessible environments, and communication barriers can all impact health outcomes and the ability to access nutrition care.

In this podcast episode, we're discussing empathetic nutrition counseling for the disability community. We explore some common myths about disability and mental illness, share practical disability etiquette tips, and discuss the role of adaptive cooking, adaptive fitness, and health literacy in supporting healthier lives.
