Weight Neutral Communities: Creating Better Conversations Around Diet Culture, Body Image, Food, and Fitness Without Making Weight the Focus / Ep 210

What does it actually look like to build a healthy relationship with food, movement, and your body without making weight the main focus?

In this episode, we’re talking about what weight neutral wellness looks like in real life, from intuitive eating and health behaviors to boutique fitness and creating a more supportive fitness community.

We get into the ways diet culture can quietly shape how we talk about food, exercise, and our bodies, even when we have good intentions. We also share how changing the language we use can help create a healthier gym culture where people of all sizes feel welcome.
