This episode was originally released on June 11, 2018. Her doctor categorized her as overweight when she was 5 years old. Her grandmother always introduced her as the “chubby one.” As an adult, she vacillates between moderation and binge-eating, restricting food some weeks, and gorging on cake and ice cream during others. “It's only when my pants are nearly impossible to button that I force myself to lose weight,” writes the letter-writer who calls herself Body Negative. “And then the pattern starts all over again.” The sinister cycle of dieting and binge-eating plagues many American women.  The body positivity movement promotes fat acceptance and attempts to reverse body-shaming, no matter one's size. But Body Negative is skeptical, writing, “I struggle with how to be body positive after years of being told it's wrong to be my size and weight. Is there such a thing as unconditional body acceptance?” Hilary Kinavey, M.S., L.P.C., and Dana Sturtevant, M.S., R.D., the co-owners of Be Nourished, join the Sugars to offer Body Negative and women like her some hope. Ms. Kinavey and Ms. Sturtevant present new definitions of health and discuss alternatives to the “dieting mind.” Ms. Kinavey explains that before body acceptance is achievable, “most of us who have experienced a lot of body shame … and weight stigma have healing work to do.”

I've taught mat-based Pilates, Spin, CoreMania, Silver Sneakers, Adaptive Strength Training, Yoga, Total Body Conditioning, Bootcamps, etc. I work with many organizations, and have taught onsite and online corporate classes at Google, Adobe, Davis Wright Tremaine, McKinstry, EXOS, Fremont Athletic Club, and more. I've coached runners for 15+ years and served as Head Coach for SoleMates for GOTRPS for 5 years. I hold Yoga Teacher Certification RYT200 (2015), STOTT Pilates Mat-based practice training (2010), and a certification as a Holistic Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (2013). I completed the 9 month Body Trust Project: School for Unlearning in 2021 and the Promoting Body Trust in Your Work for Practitioners in 2022, both hosted by Be Nourished. I'm dedicated to creating an environment for movement that is equitable, accessible, and diverse. Social justice is paramount and I strive to continue growing in my ability to be of service and support to groups traditionally excluded by the diet/wellness industrial complex. I recently completed a 3 workshop program with Dianne Bondy and Amber Karen's with “Yoga For All” on the topics of implicit bias in movement spaces, using trauma-informed language to create affirming spaces, and adapting Yoga asana for all bodies. In July 2022 I successfully completed a 9 month Process-Oriented Facilitation (somatic interventions) program led by David Bedrick, JD, Dipl PW. Most recently I completed EXOS education's course, “The Applied Neuroscience of Peak Performance”. I'm currently pursuing the GGS-1 Women's Coaching Specialist Certification with additional study regarding movement and PCOS, strength training specific to Menopause, and pre/post-natal considerations for movement. When it comes down to it, I'm really just a queer, anxious, fat cis woman who grew up in a suburb of Chicago. I now live in Seattle, WA with my incredibly patient and kind wife of 12 years (almost 13 years) and our 3 dogs; Oliver (Boxador), Pumpkin (Italian Greyhound/Chihuaua), and Emmie (Chihuahua). Would you believe me if I told you that my wife and I met on Craigslist? Lol. I looooove live music, random acts of kindness, paddle boarding on Lake Washington, and cozy nights watching some sort of trashy television. I love movement in many different forms and I do the work that I do because I'm passionate about it – and I love to use that passion for movement to support others. I love triathlons, a really good slice of pizza, saying hello to every dog I meet – ever, and reading trashy books on the beach.

Nourishment is about food and ways in which we act upon food. When we are at war with our bodies, we are not providing it nourishment.The Be Nourished approach was formed by Hilary and Dana out of the failures of the traditional weight loss as self-care treatment plan. Diet culture has inserted itself to help you war against your body. Because we are all born with a natural embodiment and intuitiveness, we don't need diet culture's messages and methods. Diet culture creates disembodiment. The framework to step away from that and heal is the Body Trust® framework.

Inclusive Life with Nicole Lee

Inclusive Life with Nicole Lee

“We all eat for emotional reasons. That's normal. Food is flavored with complex meanings. It connects us with our culture and our ancestry and heritage. We eat to celebrate. We eat to grieve. Food is an emotional thing for human beings. When we dumb it down to its nutritional components and see it only as a vehicle to give us nutrients, we are missing so much.”  - Dana Sturtevant   If you haven't yet considered weight stigma as a social justice issue, today is the day you begin. Diet culture is an insidious arm of white supremacy culture that has removed us from our bodies, from pleasure, and from our connection to our heritage. It has caused untold suffering to folks in fat bodies, impacting access to health care services, opportunities, and access to simply feeling good moving about in the world without shame and blame.   This conversation between Nicole and Dana Sturtevant and Hilary Kinavey, part one of a two-part episode, is one that lifts the lid on grief and loss. We have been fed so many lies.    Diet culture shapeshifts when we start to catch onto its oppression. We may have given up on counting calories and tracking points, but we strive to “eat clean” and “make healthy lifestyle changes” or go paleo or do intermittent fasting…whatever the latest trend to make our own bodies more acceptable or to weaponize against folks in larger bodies.    We learn early on that our bodies are problems to be solved, and that restricting food or eating just the right combination of nutrients will solve the problem. We are taught that there are right and wrong ways to live in a body.   Hilary shares, “People who occupy [fat bodies] are not able to function in the culture or pursue their joys, their lives, their bliss in the culture because fatness is considered something they have to resolve before they can get access to what they need.”   As Dana and Hilary share, the healthcare industry has centered “health care” around the Body Mass Index, the creation of a white statistician and founder of phrenology, a racist pseudoscience. The BMI was created not as a measurement of individual health, but as a tool to track populations for the insurance industry. The Body Mass Index has now been used for years in doctors' offices, in the field of dietetics, by the diet industry, and by professional trainers as a tool to measure health by means of body size. It's bogus. It's racist.    One alternative to the conventional paradigm of food, body image, and weight-centered health care is Body Trust, a process by which we can all learn to live more peacefully and compassionately in our bodies.   As with all our social justice work, in the work of fat liberation, we must center the voices, work, and lived experiences of the most marginalized, namely fat Black queer femmes.    We encourage you to disrupt diet culture and weight stigma in your own life by listening to the folks most harmed and developing an analysis so you can see the ways in which diet culture is expressing itself in your relationship with your body and other bodies.    It is time to divest. As a community, let's hold one another in generous accountability for doing this work.   In this episode, Nicole, Hilary, and Dana talk about: • The origin story of Be Nourished • “Healthy lifestyle” behavior is dieting behavior • The empty promises of weight loss • What happens when we compliment someone's body after weight loss • The racist roots of the BMI (see sources below for further reading) • Our indoctrination into diet culture • Diet culture's focus on pathologizing foods of Black and Brown people • White dominance in dietetics • Weight stigma as a social justice issue • Reclaiming “fat” as a neutral descriptor • Beginning the journey of body trust   About Dana and Hilary:   Dana Sturtevant is the co-founder of Be Nourished, LLC and co-creator of Body Trust®.

Getting Married with Sandy David  Sandy David has been fat most of her life and grew up with a fat mom who didn’t want to be fat. After an online dating journey and the body trust online course, Be Nourished, Sandy found herself suddenly in a relationship that has since turned into marriage. Sandy’s sharing how she learned to embrace her body and also discovered her love for sex and a desire to find someone who wanted the same thing.  Discover what losing your inhibitions is really all about!   What we’re talking about   How Sandy Discovered Herself & Her Desires When Friends With Benefits Becomes Serious Saying “I Do” In Las Vegas   How Sandy Discovered Herself & Her Desires Sandy became pregnant and married at the age of 19, just after high school. By 30, she found herself single and on Tumblr. It was then that she started following Jess Baker on Instagram and the online course, Be Nourished. After growing up with a mom who was fat, but didn’t like being fat, Sandy discovered a new love for her body because of what it is.  Once Sandy’s son turned 21, she decided it was time to do something for herself. She joined OKCupid with a desire to have sex with men. Receiving 6-10 messages per day, she discovered what having friends with benefits meant and lost all inhibition by being truthful with what she wanted. She found freedom and fulfillment in choosing who she would have sex with.  When Friends With Benefits Becomes More   Sandy shares that she narrowed her selection of men down to 2, but found herself more attracted to Ed who not only lived down the street, but would talk about normal things outside of just sex. Having sex with Ed felt different because he appreciated her body and they began to hang out on a daily basis, but without a commitment. Ed had been honest about his intention of moving out of state within 6 months. Before those 6 months were up, Sandy discovered she’d had a mental shift and started thinking of Ed as something more with feelings for him. When she decided not to see the other guy, she knew that was her cue and asked Ed if he still planned on moving.  Saying “I Do” In Las Vegas Ed did move, but not to another state...he moved in with Sandy! It’s been 2.5 years now and after contemplating that for them marriage is a legal security in which they could protect themselves financially and medically, they decided it was time to get married. Sandy adds that friends would tell them they were already acting like a married couple and simply saw what they were trying not to see. This past March, Ed and Sandy exchanged vows in Las Vegas.   Sandy shares that after her first marriage, she didn’t want to get married again, but in spending time with Ed and sharing so much in common, she didn’t cringe at the thought of sharing space with him. She hopes everyone gets a change to connect emotionally and physically with another person and enjoy a relationship like they have.    Moved in November. Neither wanted to get married. 2.5 yrs later, now married. What changed mind to get married. For us, marriage means a legal security. Wanted to protect financially and if something were to happen to either of them. Protect their united interests. Friends said we act like we’re married, just do it. People saw what we were trying not to see.  LINKS MENTIONED Sandy Davdi’s Instagram Sandy David’s Blog Chapel of the Flowers Be Nourished   If you enjoyed this episode and want more, join our FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatgirlfindslove/ You can also find Fat Girl Finds Love: FP Page: https://www.facebook.com/FatGirlFindsLovePod/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fatgirlfindslove/ Twitter: @exxxxtrafat  TIMESTAMPS 19:23 - 1936 (13 sec SD) -  it just made you feel...what do you really want from me? 23:30 - 24:30 (60 sec SD) -  Definitely hasn’t been unicorns farting rainbows...ultimately he decided to stay.   QUOTES   Re: The wedding: I wanted to be comfortable.

She and her co-founder, Dana Sturtevant, have always paid attention to the long game because Body Trust is something they care deeply about. They don't want to make money and then get out. They've been setting things up along the way in order to stay in this for several decades. They've been building this for 15 years, and they're still looking way ahead, paying attention to where this movement is going and what kind of impact they want to have. They're also paying attention to how they need to take care of themselves so that they can stay in for the long haul. As you're listening to this episode, think about what would sustain you in your business. What kind of support do you need? What kinds of people do you need to spend time with? What kinds of self-care practices do you need to invest time and money in? What do you need to say no to in order to say yes to what really matters to you? Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why she's loved having a business partner for 15 years How they developed their programs, starting with in-person groups and growing to several offers Why and how they developed a certification program for providers Making a salary in this business for the first time in the last year What she spends her time on in the business Hiring 3 employees and creating a workflow Taking the long view on this business and her impact on this movement How they grow their audience How she brings pleasure into moments throughout her day Show notes at http://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/120

Christy is an anti-diet dietitian, host of the Food Psych Podcast, and she just published a book that we are exploring here called, "Anti-Diet: Reclaim Your Time, Money, Well-Being, and Happiness Through Intuitive Eating". Before we get into my chat with Christy, I have a few important things: First, at Alex's suggestion, I turned my answer from last week's episode about preferences for certain bodies into a blog post... that has as of six days later been read over 31,000 times. HOLY SHIT! There has been so much beautiful input, additional nuance, and depth in all of the things people are saying, and I am so grateful. If you like it, feel free to share it! Let's keep the conversation going. Second, Be Nourished's free online Body Trust Summit is March 11-17 and it is going to be fantastic.

Finally, Patrons who support at $3 and above, don't miss my bonus chat with Christy at patreon.com/sgrpodcast. Christy and I talk about my own disordered eating and orthorexia, the part of her book that made me burst into tears, the cost of the performances we do around food and also sex, and where the advent of the “obesity” epidemic came from and why it’s actually really new. Hint: it has to do with money in people’s pockets NOT science. So back to my chat with Christy: I expect a lot of you are going to have some big feels come up as you hear Christy and I talk about diet culture, weight stigma, and how dieting and disordered relationships with our hungers impacts our sexual desire and pleasure. This is a really nuanced conversation, so if you notice yourself constricting or feeling defensive, feel free to take a break, breathe, move, and then return to it later. Seven or eight years ago me would have felt really resistant to a conversation like this, so I get it. Part 2, which drops next week, continues our exploration of many of the lies we've been sold, desirability politics and changing bodies, and why the problem is NOT weight but rather weight stigma and a focus on dieting.

First up - BE SURE TO SIGN-UP FOR THE BODY TRUST SUMMIT!!! It's going to be incredible and challenging and so so so powerful. I'm not only a speaker but I'm also working behind the scenes with Alex to produce it for Be Nourished. Seven days of talks on healing our relationship with food and body? Yes please.

First up, I share some beautiful words by someone named jedidiahjenkins. I shared the post on the Sex Gets Real Facebook page. It's all about friendship and love. Next, I'm running an experiment. Do you love mail as much as I do? Want me to write you a letter? Well, I want to write to you! If that's you, fill out the form (link is at dawnserra.com/ep295) and we'll see what happens. The form, at least for now, will be open until early March. I have no idea how many of you will want this! And then it's on to your emails. Paul wrote in asking about preferences. Can't people just not like skinny guys or short guys or fat women? After all, he suggests our preferences are personal, so can't people just not like or like certain bodies? Strap in because we are doing a really deep and wide exploration of all the factors that impact our "personal" preferences. As part of that exploration, I share some pieces from Imran Siddiquee's TEDx talk. Head to dawnserra.com/ep295 because I highly recommend checking out Imran's talk and his writing and essays in general. But this question begs of us - how can we all do better? Because it's those with the most privilege that are most resistant to examining their preferences and stories, so I invite us into different ways of relating with each other. I can't wait for you to hear it. Then, Curious Little Rabbit wants to know what she should do. She's a lesbian who hasn't had sex with men in 15 years, but lately she's been having lots of fantasies about it. Should she find a guy and give it a try? If so, where can she find some options in Houston, Texas? Be sure to tune in next week for Part 1 of 2 with my interview with Christy Harrison from the Food Psych podcast.

227- Healthism: The Desire to Be Healthy Gone Wrong with Dana Sturtevant -Be Nourished

In today's episode, we'll explore about Healthism: The Desire to Be Healthy Gone Wrong with Dana Sturtevant -Be Nourished (Warning: Explicit Content) Healthism is a term new to most of us. Healthism can be defined as the preoccupation with personal health as a primary focus for the definition and achievement of well-being; a goal which is to be attained primarily through the modification of lifestyles. When I first read on healthism 6 or 7 years ago, I refute the concept. I thought it was my duty and the duty of all humans to do everything they could to be healthy.... that was my profession at the time. To motivate, push, and teach my clients to pursue health at all costs. The Dark Side of Healthy Living The truth is when I first encounter healthism and health at every size, I was knee-deep in wellness culture. I had recently realized that diet didn't work and traded my pursue of thinness for a more politically correct journey, “the pursuit of optimal health”. For the last 25 years, I had dieted, controlled food, & exercised obsessively, lost and gain weight always to come back to the same point. The pursuit of health seems like the most logical option … if I'm healthy, I'll lose the “unhealthy weight”. I studied every branch of alternative health medicine, in the hopes of finding what was wrong with my health so that I could finally be healthy “inside and out”. Obsessing about finding a solution that would unlock health, I spent thousands of $ in education, training, testing, and flying around the world to consult with health experts, cleanse, supplements, detox, etc. Judging myself for not being as healthy as it was possible, I was in a “healthy battle” with my body. I was going to force my body into the health status that I thought was going my best life. Healthism: Diet Culture Upgraded Version Healthism is in a way the upgraded version of Diet culture. Instead of judging people based on their “thinness”, it judges folks based on their health. Healthism judges people's worth according to their health instead of weight. It holds health as something that everyone should value and attain just like “thinness” or “healthy BMI”. Healthism judges people based on their desire to attain health and their efforts towards attaining health. It believes it is one person's duty to work hard to strive for health. If you are not doing so, there's something wrong with you. Healthism, just like diet culture uses guilt and shame in an effort to “motivate” people to work harder to achieve better health. Healthism believes that health is the sole responsibility of the individual and says that a person's health is based on their decision and behaviors. Just like I, Diet Culture see bodyweight as an outcome of one's decision and behaviors. Healthism completely disregards the many other determinants of health including inequality, access to healthcare, trauma, oppression, genetics, etc... again just like diet culture. The solution is body trust My ill pursuit of health lasted 4 years. At the beginning of my forties, I realized that what I was really chasing for the last 30 years wasn't going to come as a result of a thinner body or optimal health... The thing that I was chasing was never going to be caught because it was already here. In other words, I had it within me all this time. I was worthy right here, right now. My self-worth was never going to be a result of what my body looked like or how healthy it was. I was born worthy. Today, I'm on a journey now of rebuilding a relationship of trust, respect, and neutrality with myself and my body. Healthism: The desire to be healthy gone wrong with Dana Sturtevant In this episode of the podcast, we will explore the ramification of healthism with an expert in the topic, Dana Sturtevant. Dana Sturtevant is the co-founder of Be Nourished, LLC. She is a registered dietitian, educator, and trainer whose work focuses on humanizing health care. She co-founded and a co-creator of Body Trust®— a strength-based, trauma-informed, scientifically grounded healing modality that encourages movement towards a compassionate, weight-inclusive model of radical self-care to address body oppression, heal body shame and associated patterns of chronic dieting and disordered eating. What you'll learn listening to this episode: What is healthism How does healthism show up in day to day life How can we sit with health uncertainty Body Trust as a solution How body trust is disrupted by trauma, weight stigma Mentioned on the show: Health Mastery Registration Body Trust Summit How Healthism Impact Care Webinar Body Respect Book Intuitive Eating Get Started Guide Supporting Articles: Nutritionism Healthism Connect with our guest Website Instagram Facebook

“Loving yourself is always a good move.” ~Kerry Maiorca It takes bravery to slow down and recognize you are enough. Kerry Maiorca dismantles the idea you have to be a certain kind of person to practice yoga. She encourages and teaches others to make time within their messy lives to love themselves and to simplify. Kerry asks: Is it self-love or is it self-bullying and shaming? And, is FEAR your CEO? In this episode, she talks about why First Graders are better at meditation than you are, how to begin any practice just as you are, nourishment in the in-between spaces of life, how yoga is real life happening, and to give yourself permission to have joy without other intentions. Kerry's mission is to inspire you to slow down, breathe more deeply, and do a little less. Specializing in teaching Gentle and Restorative Yoga, Kerry is passionate about sharing the depths of practice in an accessible, individualized, and down-to-earth way.

I’ve been doing work around the Imposter Complex for a long time now, but my goal with this podcast is to shed light on folx who experience the Imposter Complex differently, depending on how they had experienced marginalization in the dominant culture. Because sometimes it’s the Imposter Complex that's in the way, but many times it’s a lived experience of racism or sexism, colonialism, micro-aggressions, trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, alcoholism or fat phobia... and Hilary Kinavey’s work with body compassion and weight inclusivity really adds to this conversation—so I had to have her on the show. Hilary is a professional counselor, facilitator, educator, speaker, writer, and activist.  She co-founded Be Nourished, LLC with Dana Sturtevant in 2006. Her work encourages movement toward a liberation-based model of care to heal internalized body shame and associated patterns of chronic dieting and disordered eating. She is a sought after speaker on topics such as weight-inclusive approaches, weight bias, Body Trust, and the intersections of activism and therapy. She offers individual counseling and coaching, consultation, and trainings for organizations and professional groups. Hilary and I talk about how we experience the Imposter Complex differently based on our lived experiences in marginalized parts of culture, inclusion of conversations about size and fat phobia in social justice circles, healthism and the social determinants of health, fat. vs. obesity vs. overweight, why we are so afraid of being fat and of other fat people, and the importance of recognizing and naming our privilege and how this affects our credibility.

Diet culture has a nasty habit of targeting women at vulnerable times in their lives, and this is particularly evident in pregnancy and birth. This week on All Fired Up!, I am venting with the incredible Hilary Kinavey and Dana Sturtevant from Be Nourished, who bravely walked into a medical conference and called out the rampant weight stigma which is hurting pregnant women. This is a not to be missed episode, how women in larger bodies are being treated by the medical profession is just NOT OK. Women are being told that their vagina is “too fat to give birth”, that they won’t live to see their babies grow up, that they need to lose weight! The fact is, most women in larger bodies have healthy pregnancies and births, but are having the bejeezus scared out of them with some seriously odious threats. Reclaiming your body and your power is possible. It’s time to take your body sovereignty back!!   Show Notes Hilary and Dana, anti-diet health professionals from Be Nourished, are utterly fired up about the never ending pressure that diet culture puts on women at vulnerable times of our lives, particularly with regards to fertility, pregnancy, and birth. They were invited to speak at a conference where they could talk about body positivity and managing risk in pregnancy. Whilst an awesome and much needed topic, they were the only speakers to talk about weight stigma. In the medical community there is some acknowledgment that weight stigma impacts health, but the vast majority of professionals are seeing weight stigma as a barrier to losing weight, which is just not reflective of a deep understanding of these issues. Stigma itself affects health, greatly, and this is not being researched nearly enough. Multiple sources of oppression intersect in pregnancy. Women are of course oppressed in general in a patriarchal society. Women of colour, and women in larger bodies who are of colour, suffer the most from these structural oppressions. Women who experience stigma can have a harder time giving birth, because of the stigma, not their weight alone. The history of gynaecology is implicitly racist and sexist. Early experiments in gynaecology were performed on Black women without anaesthetic, as it was believed they could not feel pain as much as white women. although we own the bodies that are giving birth, we are often told that we are ‘not qualified’ to make choices about our births. The concept of ‘weathering’ is when multiple levels of stigma impact on our bodies. Serena Williams’ experience of birth is reflective of this impact of stigma and the inherent disregard for women’s agency in pregnancy and birth. Higher rates of caesarian sections occur in women with higher BMI’s. But why? How much of this is due to the belief that as a woman in a larger body, you can’t deliver safely? This idea of ‘colouring’ - that when we internalise weight stigma, it colours our decisions and choices. The midwifery model is to view birth as an event, not an emergency. The vast majority of women in larger bodies have successful pregnancies and births. And if something goes wrong, this can be managed most of the time. The actual risks of complications in birth are being exaggerated by statistical buggery. Women are facing systemic discrimination in the area of birth. Women are often told they can’t give birth in their local hospital, in rural & remote Australia they are being flown to hospitals in capital cities. Imagine the impact of this. We are so vulnerable at this time and we need our support networks. Physicians are frequently scaring women and telling them that their weight means they are automatically a high risk pregnancy. This is because many health professionals receive training which views a larger body as a problem or a risk factor. If we believe we are not capable of a birth, this will reflect on outcomes. Once women pick up the idea that the medical professionals will judge their bodies, they will avoid pregnancies in order to avoid judgement, or choose to avoid medical care altogether. Society is messed up and your body is not, medical providers have been given a biased education. It is ok to grill your health professionals in order to assure that you are safe. If you do have a complication during birth, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or a bad mother.   Resources Mentioned: Find out more about Hilary & Dana at Be Nourished Watch the Being Serena Documentary Nothing dear, you’re not qualified!

With the holidays comes many social gatherings that are often centred around food. For some this may be filled with joy, but for others, this may cause a lot of stress and anxiety around eating or body image. That’s why this week, I’m speaking with Dr. Andrea LaMarre on eating disorder recovery and health ay any size. Based out of Guelph, Ontario, Andrea is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Propel Centre for Population Health Impact at the University of Waterloo. She recently earned her PhD at the University of Guelph, where she studied eating disorder recovery from the perspectives of people in recovery and their supporters. In this episode we speak about experiences of eating disorders and recovery, and Andrea breaks down some of the common assumptions surrounding these experiences – about what an eating disorder looks like conventionally, what bodies and experiences are legitimized and which are often left out, and ways in which researchers like her are challenging the social, cultural, and psychological barriers to accessing recovery. She’s doing incredibly important work with thoughtful and engaging approaches for communities, and I think it’s important to speak more to the diverse ways disordered eating can manifest in our lives and bodies - particularly during times of the year where we have less control or agency over what we eat.

Internalized weight stigma and diet culture are challenging to let go of, but it's necessary to find peace with food and our bodies. Fatphobia is SO entrenched in all of us, and it hurts everyone no matter our body size! Everyone is indoctrinated into diet culture, especially those of us who have been socialized as women. Family dynamics can play a big role in how we relate to food and our bodies, especially if as children we're made to act in a parental role. Embracing food and body actions that stereotypically have ties to dieting and restriction can be scary, but we don't have to engage with joyful movement and gentle nutrition in a disordered way! They can be nourishing actions, and they don't have to belong to diet culture. Body changes can be triggering, and weight loss may make us feel like we're betraying the fat-acceptance community. Body changes can also throw our body-acceptance process for a loop, making us have to start the process of embracing our new shape all over again. But body changes are inevitable! Make sure that you're aware of your privilege, and acknowledge it! Make room for marginalized voices. We get to enjoy salads and movement without promising ourselves weight loss and without falling down a disordered rabbit hole. The more that we heal our relationship with food, the less we will feel that foods are "healthy" or "unhealthy." There are people in larger bodies that have an active lifestyle! We DON'T have to be a small body to enjoy movement, and we don't have to pursue movement for the sake of weight loss. Movement belongs to everyone!

Dana is a trainer, mentor, Kripalu Yoga teacher, and Registered Dietitian specializing in Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating. She is the co-founder of "Be Nourished", a revolutionary business helping people heal body dissatisfaction and reclaim body trust. In her work, Dana loves to incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion practices, and she is specialized in Motivational Interviewing techniques. She has facilitated more than 300 workshops throughout the United States for health care providers looking to enhance their skills in behavior-change counseling, and her work has been published in various media outlets. You'll hear Dana talk about: – How lucky she was to be able to grow up in a household where there were no diets, body shaming or any sort of hyper-focus on "healthy eating" – When and why she became self-conscious about her shape and size – Why she went into the field of nutrition – What she found out about her younger self from reading her own letters to her late grandmother – What she experienced in her previous work as a "weight management" dietitian – Why that work started to feel deeply unethical for her – Why living a free, flexible life and weight-suppression don’t go together – How our inner "trance of unworthiness" drives us to keep abandoning ourselves – Why no amount of weight-loss will improve how you feel about yourself, and why feeling worthy and confident really is an inside job unrelated to weight – The importance of recognizing the difference between "fitting in" and feeling a sense of "belonging" – How her and Hilary’s clients often react when they first hear their message – Why it is so hard to claim something (that we KNOW is true) for ourselves – Why this current "health-ism" (hyper-focus on "having to be healthy, or else it’s our own fault") is really about money – Why so many people, including health-care providers, are in denial about "prescribing diets" – Why we are often tricked into believing "well, this is not a diet, this is only a lifestyle change" – What happens when one coping mechanisms is being forcefully removed without working on the underlying issue – Why compulsive exercise always points to a complicated relationship with food/weight – Why it’s totally ok that not all people are athletes – Why today’s "gym-culture" is ruining a healthy relationship to movement for most people – Why nobody can tell you what your body needs, and why there IS no black or white strategy that works – Why it is always wise to be suspicious of people who claim to "have found the true way to health/fitness/weight-loss", especially when they are trying to sell said truth – Why it takes some time (and effort) to heal the "dieting mind" – Why the healing process really only works when we put concerns about weight on the back burner – Why most people have to hit "diet bottom" to kick-start the healing process – What needs to be grieved when we find the courage to step into our fears and work towards freedom – Why diet-talk is basically nothing else but women keeping up their own oppression – Why the fear of a particular food is worse for your body than the actual food – Why the moralization of food is particularly dangerous for people – Why "going Paleo" and "going gluten-free" (except for the 1% of the population who actually has celiac disease) and "going vegan" are fads, too – How absurd the whole "nutritionism" in the world looks when we zoom out for a minute to really look at all the contradicting advice out there – What real success looks like for clients of "Be Nourished" – Why rules are the problem, and not – as we might think – the solution – How "full permission to eat" looks like and why it is the solution to stop the diet-binge-cycle – Why it is important to process and release the anger that we have directed inwards for so long – Why it is important to realize that it is not your fault that you have a complicated relationship to food (Dana’s dog agrees strongly here) – How "Be Nourished" helps private clients as well as health care providers get rid of weight-bias... ...

Hello, sweet radicals! In today's episode of the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast, I get to talk to Hilary Kinavey from Portland, Oregon. Hilary is a licensed professional counselor who specializes in disordered eating, trauma, anxiety, depression and addictions. She works in partnership with clients to develop a deeper understanding of their personal challenges, inner wisdom and their personal story. As a counselor, she places an emphasis on developing insight, mindfulness, and empathy for oneself. In 2005, she and Dana Sturtevant started facilitating groups to help women let go of food and weight obsession, and – sharing the same ideas – they then merged their practices to create a revolutionary approach to re-establish the "Body Trust" that we all had when we were born. They founded "Be Nourished", a partnership that is based on the passion to help people lose the weight of body shame and to create the change they seek from a deeper place. They offer programs, workshops, retreats, and e-courses to help cultivate body trust, as well as counseling, yoga and naturopathic care to complement long-term body acceptance and the benefits of being physically and psychologically nourished. In addition to counseling, coaching, and facilitating, Hilary is a popular speaker on topics such as Health At Every Size, Intuitive Eating and Body Respect in health care communities, and she is a regular contributor to the Huffington post. You'll hear Hilary talk about: – How her mother’s dieting made her focus on her own body – How she came to believe that her body was not ok – What she learned about what it meant to be "a successful woman" – Why so many people still aren’t aware of how harmful diets can be – What most of us are trying to achieve when we start weight-obsessing – Why her parents' feminism helped her a lot, even though dieting wasn’t being questioned yet back then – How she learned about social justice issues from her parents – Why people’s struggles with food and weight are often not addressed in counseling – Why, sadly, women are lead from focusing on their own heart’s desires towards being stuck focusing solely on their desirability – What it was that made the pieces fall together for her on her journey to self-acceptance – What her first reaction was after she figured out what it is that keeps women from living their fullest expression and following their true desires – What 5 steps we can all take to get rid of body-loathing – How Intuitive Eating connected her with her own body – Why Intuitive Eating and enjoying food freely leads to a feeling of empowerment – How her whole life changed when she started trusting herself, her body and food – How she breaks through the diet-mentality barriers of her clients – What this body image work is really about, at the core – How she helps her clients get over their resistance to feel emotions – What her (and Dana Sturtevant’s) work at "Be Nourished" is all about – How body respect is the first and easiest step towards body trust – How to learn what diet-culture has robbed of us, and how that can help us grow – Why it’s not about "not ever having a bad body day" again – How "Be Nourished" helps health care providers get rid of weight-bias... ...

Glenys and Aaron are back with Episode 20. They invited Hilary Kinavey from Be Nourished to come on the podcast to help answer two questions from our listeners. Both questions deal with how can the people closest to us support our Intuitive Eating and HAES® journey.  One listener asks for tips in explaining Intuitive Eating and HAES® to her partner and the second question deals with working with a spouse or partner who is still steeped in diet culture and might not support our exploration of HAES®.  They also recommend reading the book Body Respect which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Respect-Conventional-Health-Understand/dp/1940363195
