Meet Dalia Kinsey
Because Health Shouldn’t Be Biased
The Dietitian Who Won’t Let Systemic Bias Write Your Story (or Bore You to Death with Bland Sessions and Meal Plans)
Ever felt dismissed by healthcare because of the color of your skin, your gender identity, or the size of your body? I’ve been there — and I decided those systems don’t get the final word.
Now, as a licensed dietitian, keynote speaker, and author of Decolonizing Wellness, I help communities and organizations create spaces where QTBIPOC people can access care without shame or erasure.
Why I Founded Kinsey Wellness
From Surviving Bias to Building Care That Heals
I'm Dalia Kinsey: Registered Dietitian, podcaster, and author of Decolonizing Wellness — a practical, affirming guide to self-care for queer and trans people of color (liberation oriented folks love it too).
Through my podcast, Body Liberation for All, and speaking at conferences, workshops, and retreats, I’ve helped thousands of people shift their relationship with wellness.
My work and mission have been featured at Yale University, Minnesota Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Charis Books and Famm, where I’ve shared my journey to building inclusive, liberation-centered care.
More importantly, I am a QTBIPOC person who has survived systemic fat-phobia, racism, and medical neglect.
I built Kinsey Wellness so others wouldn’t have to fight as hard for the care they deserve.
A Purpose Forged Through Fire (Okay… a Dumpster Fire)
In my mid-twenties, I was sick. Hair falling out in clumps. Hand tremors so intense that every time I put on eyeliner, I felt like I was taking my life into my own hands — and my cats looked deeply concerned when I trimmed their claws.
My fatigue was so relentless I fell asleep driving home from work on most days, even after 10 to 13 hours of sleep the night before.
Doctors blamed my then-fat body, ignoring every other symptom (sound familiar?).
It took years to discover I had Grave’s Disease. Racist and fat-phobic bias nearly cost me my life.
That mess lit a fire inside me: people like me deserve care that sees us, not erases us.
Beyond Me: Riding the Waves of Revolution
When George Floyd was murdered, the grief in our communities collided with chronic racialized stress.
I realized there was little guidance for marginalized folks navigating ongoing trauma—not just flashpoint moments.
Kinsey Wellness grew from one-on-one care to workshops, trainings, and keynotes for communities ready to actually do better.
Truth is, the revolution we hoped for didn’t come.
Instead of ending police violence, we got a commercialized Juneteenth no one asked for.
Still—we rise.
The work has shifted to focusing our energy on the folks who do not tire of caring about the underserved and mistreated, because they are among those folks. We still do work with those who have proven not to be fair-weather friends, but that is not our focus.
Our greatest joy comes from teaching folks how to let Eating be Easy™ and making food and wellness something that reduces stress instead of adding to it.

Where Vision Meets Action:
Our Secret Sauce
Thrive Fully:
Nutrition as Self-Care for Mind, Body, Spirit, and Culture
Energize Your Mind and Body
We intentionally center Queer, Trans, Non-Binary, BIPOC, neurodivergent and chronically ill people because the wellness industry is notorious for ignoring.
This space isn’t about clean eating or chasing “high vibes.” It’s about rest, ease, and reclaiming your body on your own terms.
We co-create healing pathways with you — no guilt, no pressure, no shame.
Where Healing Meets Justice
We draw on anti-diet nutrition training, social justice studies, minority stress theory (the long-term effects of discrimination), and ancestral healing traditions.
The result: practical, culturally grounded care that promotes freedom from oppressive health norms.
Care that honors where you come from AND supports where you're going.
