The world we live in offers an endless array of food choices, it is no longer necessary for a particular produce item to be “in season” as we have most food available all year long. With the endless possibilities, it isn’t a surprise that at some point our bodies may have some resistance to too much variety, and in fact REACT!
This Webinar will invite you to: become more aware of your vocabulary and habitual patterns, develop new insight into word choice which best serves you and your clients, and practices a language which invites client-focused curiosity, discovery, and change.
The current generation of children is inundated with weight-biased, age-inappropriate nutrition messages. As to eating disorder savvy professionals and informed parents, we can advocate for children to be shielded from these harmful messages.

Dietitians often encounter individuals seeking health through “clean” or “pure” food and eating. When mixed with a tendency toward perfectionism or anxiety, or when implemented with unrealistic expectations for body shape changes, this desire can morph into fear of food and restrictive eating practices that detract from health and impair functioning.

Even after someone has recovered from an eating disorder, they are often surprised to find there is still work to be done. A symptom that highlights the need for more effort to attain true recovery is the absence of a monthly period (a bleed from birth control doesn’t count). Often the desire to restore periods comes when a woman wants to get pregnant, although there are other excellent reasons to continue to work on body image, food fears, and exercise addiction.

Weight neutral practice approaches which center size acceptance, like Health at Every Size and the Non-Diet Approach, represent a key innovation in health practice given the ubiquitous backdrop of ‘anti-obesity’ sentiment in the provision of healthcare today. The adoption of these approaches so far has been driven by peer-to-peer communication as few professional authorities have yet to openly endorse or encourage weight neutral practice.
