Episode 30. This week I am going to share some of my reflections on the Health at Every Size® movement and how we will discuss this important topic on this podcast and in this blog. I cover why it isn't more widely accepted in medical settings and otherwise. And what we can do about it. What to Expect in this Blog Post and Podcast Episode: I will share some thought based on many conversations with my colleagues (Health at Every Size® -aligned and otherwise) as well as my clients.I will also share how I think about the Health at Every Size® movement, how it has shaped the language I use, and the approach I take. This conversation is great for healthcare professionals or people trying to navigate the healthcare system. I will also talk about other conversations we have had on the podcast about these crucial topics.I'll talk about why one of my major goals on this podcast is to have productive and respectful conversations about the Health at Every Size® movement and how weight inclusive approaches can be successfully incorporated into medicineWhere the movement misses the mark and may have blind spots, and what we can do about it.
