In this second part of a 3-part series on Health At Every Size, and how it relates to the perinatal period, Rachel Tuchman LMHC joins us once again to further challenge the traditional belief that weight loss in and of itself is the solution to better health. She expands on the harm of diets and moralizing of food, solutions for how to confront the stigma of high weight gain during pregnancy,  and the feelings of failure when the weight remains postpartum. Rachel also brings awareness to those who are thin on sensitivity toward those who are in bigger bodies, and how their comments, even when well-intended, can be hurtful.    Rachel Tuchman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over ten years of experience. She has worked with many diverse populations including incarcerated women at Riker's Island Correctional Facility, kids and adults with developmental delays, kids with behavior issues, overwhelmed parents looking for skills and support, teens struggling with the pressures of adolescence and life in general, adults going through difficult life circumstances (divorce, infidelity, phase of life challenges) and women experiencing infertility.   Rachel is HAES (Health At Every Size) aligned clinician and dedicates a lot of her time out of office to educating parents and kids on the importance of body respect and the behaviors that truly honor our health.      Currently, she offers services in her Cedarhurst, NY office for kids and teens ages 5-18, adults, and women experiencing infertility, pregnancy loss and post hysterectomy.     Rachel also does speaking engagements for schools, synagogues and various community organizations.     You can find Rachel on Instagram: @rachel_tuchman_lmhc and contact her by email: Rachel@lilmhc.com.     Learn all about the new Yoledet Community here.
