Podcast appearances and mentions of hilary kinavey

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.”

We have been given a script on how to feel about our bodies. It limits who we are and the depth of life that we can experience. Kara talks with Hilary Kinavey and Dana Sturtevant the Co-Founders and Co-Owners of the Center for Body Trust and the authors of the book Reclaiming Body Trust. Together they remember stories they were told and how they were made to feel about their bodies and the deconstruction they are going through to change the relationship they have with their bodies. Too many fem bodies and now masculine bodies are feeling like they are never enough. It's time to change that.  In 2005, Hillary and Dana founded the Center for Body Trust to offer programs that encourage movement toward a compassionate, weight-inclusive model of radical care to address body oppression, heal body shame and associated patterns of chronic dieting and disordered eating. The Center for Body Trust also offers programs for helping professionals and educators interested in adopting client-centered, trauma-informed, justice-based approaches to healing—including an intensive year-long Body Trust Certification Training. Their work has been featured in The New York Times, Scientific American, Health, Self, Real Simple, Huffington Post, and the TEDx stage, and their book Reclaiming Body Trust: A Path to Healing and Liberation was released in 2023.  Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC  (she/her) has supported people who are healing from disordered eating, body shame, and the impact of weight bias and other traumas. Hilary's work as a therapist, educator, speaker, and writer, has been a study of what interrupts our sense of wholeness and how we can return to ourselves in a culture that profits from fragmentation. She has additional training in workshop facilitation, mind-body coaching, and radical relating. She is a sought-after speaker on topics such as weight-inclusive approaches, weight bias, and the intersections of activism and the helping professions. She offers consultation and training for organizations and professionals. Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD (she/her), is a registered dietitian who helps people divest from diet culture and move toward more compassionate, embodied forms of radical care. Her work as a speaker, educator, and trainer focuses on humanizing health care, advancing health equity, and advocating for food and body sovereignty. As a sought-after speaker and writer, Dana is a champion for compassionate, weight-inclusive models of care and offers supervision, training, and consultation for helping professionals and health care organizations.

“How do we know this is about gender and not body image? Doesn't everyone feel uncomfortable in their body at that age?”I get these questions from parents all the time. And my answer is this: body image is about being dissatisfied with how we look along with unobtainable beauty standards. Body dysphoria is about the cues their body sends to the world about how to interact with and treat them, how that doesn't align with how they feel, and how it can make them feel invisible.It's similar, but also very, very different.Struggles with body image and with body dysphoria can lead cis and trans kids to patterns of disordered eating and disconnection from their bodies. Eating disorders are prevalent in the trans community because they are often a coping mechanism for the stress and stigma of being trans. Which is why I wanted to talk to today's guests, who are experts in eating disorders and whose treatment model, centered on trusting and coming home to the body, is so different from standard treatment modalities.Dana Sturtevant helps people let go of chronic patterns of dieting and disordered eating and move ​​into a more authentic, sustainable way to occupy and nurture their bodies. She advocates for food and body sovereignty as a nutrition therapist, educator, speaker, writer, and activist.Hilary Kinavey works with people to reckon with the vicious cycles of disordered eating and dieting, body shame and weight bias, and the fragmentation, oppression, and trauma that often sits at the center. As a licensed professional counselor, facilitator, educator, and coach, she sees that we have been separated from our embodied knowing of our value and wholeness.Together they founded the Center for Body Trust and co-authored the book Reclaiming Body Trust: a Path to Healing and Liberation.Check out the full episode to hear about:Why parents need to do their own work around rebuilding body trustHow to bring awareness and choice to body checking and comparison behaviorsHow our cultural beauty standards–for cis and trans people–are tied to white supremacySuggestions for supporting kids and framing the conversation when they're exposed to toxic body image messagesThree phases of repairing body trustWhy gender affirmation has to be the first step in building body trustFind out more about Dana Sturtevant and Hilary Kinavey:Center for Body TrustReclaiming Body Trust: A Path to Healing & LiberationFind out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on InstagramResources:Caleb LunaSand ChangFearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, Sabrina StringsDesiree AdawayRagen ChastainGloria LucasMaintenance Phase

We love books and it's surprising that we haven't spoken about the role books play until now. This week's episode is a deep dive into how books can really support everyone's journey into anti-diet and body liberation. We uncover the reason perfectionism can actually hinder progress and how to approach books along your journey without reaching overwhelm. What were the first anti-diet, body-positive books we read, and the role they played in us seeing a glimpse of another world that validated how we were feeling when we were caught up in diet culture.  If you love books (and podcasts because we also mention those) then this is a must-listen.

Before Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC and Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD envisioned the Center for Body Trust, they worked independently as a therapist and dietitian. As professionals in the fields of nutrition and mental health, they found most of the recommendations made to clients regarding weight were not only unsustainable but often resulted in harm to their well-being and sense of self. They were both disillusioned with the status quo approach to food, body, weight and health, which has been harmful for too long. In 2005, both Hilary and Dana joined forces to re-envision what it meant to occupy and care for your body - and the Center for Body Trust was born. Dana Sturtevant co-founder of Center for Body Trust is a nutrition therapist, educator, speaker, writer and activist, who advocates for food and body sovereignty. For More than 15 years, Dana has helped people let go of chronic patterns of dieting and disordered eating and move into a more authentic, sustainable way to occupy and nurture their bodies.

Lisa is joined by Hilary Kinavey, M.S., LPC and Dana Sturtevant, M.S., R.D. the creators of the Center for Body Trust to talk about their book, RECLAIMINGBODY TRUST® A PATH TO HEALING AND LIBERATIONHilary Kinavey, M.S., LPChas supported people who are healing from disordered eating, body shame, and the impact of weight bias and other traumas. Her work, as a therapist, facilitator, educator, speaker, and writer, has been a study of what interrupts our sense of wholeness and how we can return to ourselves in a culture that profits from fragmentation. She has additional training in workshop facilitation, mind-body coaching, and radical relating. She is a sought-after speaker on topics such as weight-inclusive approaches, weight bias, Body Trust®, and the intersections of activism and the helping professions. She offers consultation andtraining for organizations and professional groups.  Dana Sturtevant, M.S., R.D., is a registered dietitian who helps people divest from diet culture and move toward a more compassionate, embodied form of radical self-care. Her work as a speaker, educator, and trainer focuses on humanizing health care, advancing health equity, and advocating for body sovereignty and food justice. As a sought-after speaker and writer, Sturtevant is a champion for compassionate, weight-inclusive models of care and offers supervision, training, and consultation for helping professionals and health care organizations.Informed by the personal body stories of the hundreds of people they have worked with, RECLAIMING BODY TRUST delineates an intersectional, social justice−orientated path to healing in three phases: The Rupture, The Reckoning, and The Reclamation. Throughout, readers will be anchored by the authors' innovative and revolutionary Body Trust framework to discover a pathway out of a rigid, mechanistic way of thinking about the body and into a more authentic, sustainable way to occupy and nurture our bodies. Highlights from the book & interview include:·        The body mass index has racist origins and was never intended to be used as a measure of health. It was developed by a mathematician in the nineteenth century to look at the distribution of weight across a population of white people. It is being used to stigmatize and pathologize people's bodies. BMI is not a vital sign.·        There's no evidence- based treatment for high body weight that leads to sustained weight loss two to five years out.  The most consistent effect of weight loss at two years is  weight gain.·        There is research to show how weight stigma, racism, and other body- based oppressions, as well as other social determinants of health, have a far greater impact on our health and well- being than personal lifestyle behaviors. The truth is, lifestyle factors (health behaviors) actually account for 5 to 25 percent of the differences in health outcomes.·         If we really care about people's health, we need to be fighting for things like racial justice, access to non- stigmatizing health care, living wages, clean air, and more.·        Body Trust is about healing your relationship with food and body, not perfecting health behaviors. Body Trust helps people develop sustainable self- care behaviors instead of all the yo- yo dieting, yo- yo fitness, and weight cycling that diet culture enables, and research shows, negatively impact health. People are not required to pursue health to be deemed worthy of love, respect, and belonging.

“The white gaze is upon us at all times, and the ways in which Black bodies have been destroyed by whiteness are many. But this is just one of them.” - Sirius Bonner   One thing to get straight: divorcing yourself from diet culture isn't just about being fat, loud, and proud. Sirius Bonner, who joins Hilary Kinavey and Dana Sturtevant for Part 2 of this two-part Inclusive Life podcast, drives home the importance of rooting our own relationship with our bodies in the broader political context. The context? Fat bodies are subjected to systemic oppression.   Sirius deepens the conversation Nicole, Hilary and Dana began in Part 1 around diet culture and racism. She shares “...There is a deeply connected root of anti-fatness and anti-Blackness from the time of slavery in the United States.” The conversation weaves from there into the complex ways anti-fatness shows up in the Black community—similar to the way colorism exists—as a means to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.   Internalized oppression in the shape of internalized anti-fatness is tragically logical: Sonya Renee Taylor, in her book The Body is Not an Apology, writes:    “We must not minimize or negate the impact of being told to hate or fear our bodies and the bodies of others. Living in a society structured to profit from our self-hate creates a dynamic in which we are so terrified of being ourselves that we adopt terror-based ways of being in our bodies.”   These terror-based ways of being in our bodies cause so much daily suffering, resulting from, as Nicole says, “...living in a system that consistently tells you that from the moment of birth, you're never going to be enough.”   What's difficult to see are the ways that white body supremacy couples' health and size.  High blood pressure?  A person with a thin body is provided medication and other medical advice. A person with a large body is told to lose weight and then come back for additional medical care. Both fat and thin people develop high blood pressure, so identifying fatness as causative doesn't make sense. Yet doctors still center weight as the cause of disease and weight loss as the cure. Just like the war on drugs, the war on obesity is a war on people, both rooted in anti-Blackness.   Where can we begin to decouple fat and health? Fat and laziness? Fat and “you should try harder?” Fat and “it's your fault?”   First, we can each begin by developing and deepening an appreciation for the diversity of bodies. Body diversity has always existed and will always exist. We can lay down our arms.   Second, we can shift our focus away from size and onto the social determinants of health, to understand the impact of fatphobia on fat folks' health outcomes.    Third, we can continually center the voices and lived experiences of Black queer women in this conversation.    In this episode, Nicole, Sirius, Hilary, and Dana talk about: What's beyond Body Positivity The marginalization of fat, Black, queer women in the Health at Every Size and Body Positivity movements De-centering the pursuit of health Taking an intersectional approach to size bias Rejecting dieting without an analysis The root of anti-fatness is anti-Blackness How diet culture shows up in a Black culture Fatness and proximity to whiteness Decoupling size and health Shifting the conversation to the social determinants of health Learning to become one's own advocate   Bios:   Sirius Bonner is a passionate and noted presenter and facilitator. Sirius' work focuses on the intersections between social justice issues such as racial oppression, reproductive justice, queer rights, anti-fat bias, educational equity, poverty, sexism, and liberation, recognizing that as we begin to untangle one issue, we can untangle them all. Sirius' currently works at Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette as the Vice President of Equity and Inclusion.   You can find Sirius at: On Instagram: Siriuswhileblack On TikTok: Siriuswhileblack   Pre-order Dana and Hilary's book Reclaiming Body Trust: A Path to Healing and Liberation set for publication in August 2022.   Resources: Beyond Body Positivity: Adding Fatness to Your Intersectional Lens Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness by Da'Shaun Harrison

“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®.

This week I’m talking to Hillary Kinavey, co-founder of Be Nourished. They offer programs for people looking to reclaim Body Trust®. She's a leader in this movement, working from the principles of HAES and intuitive eating. We've been talking a lot about the stages of a rebel business lately. I did a 2 part series, episodes 118 and 119, on the stages you go through from creating your pilot offer to actually thriving. You're about to hear from someone who really values the long game. 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

I've been longing to have a conversation about food and body and fatness and fat-phobia and healthism, and I'm so excited to introduce my guest to you today. Hilary Kinavey is a professional counselor, facilitator, educator, speaker, writer, and activist working to bring more awareness to eight-inclusive approaches, weight bias, body trust, and the intersections of activism and therapy. She is also the co-founder of BeNourished and The Body Trust Approach. In this episode, we talk about how our bodies are meant to change throughout our lives, but our culture doesn't prepare us for that, that health and fitness don't have a look because health is a construct created by the culture. We talk about the intersection of health and race, the problem with the BMI scale, and needing to take the time to examine in ourselves where we hold attractive bias. Then we get into the connection between hunger and desire and pleasure, how dieting and shaming for body size disconnects us from our ability to tap into that hunger/desire, and then what we envision for a future body-inclusive world Find show notes for this episode here: https://beccapiastrelli.com/hilary-kinavey/ Follow Hilary on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benourishedpdx/ Follow Becca on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beccapiastrelli/

“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.” Hilary Kinavey, M.S., L.P.C., and Dana Sturtevant, M.S., R.D., the co-owners of Be Nourished, join the Sugars on today’s episode to offer Body Negative and women like her some hope. This episode was originally released on June 11th, 2018.

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.

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?

Licensed professional counselor and co-founder of Be Nourished Hilary Kinavey joins me to talk about how bellies are pathologized, connecting (or not) to our belly through our family lineage, being with the unknown of how your body will change, what to do when someone mistakes your fat belly for a pregnant belly, and how small-bellied allies can support bigger-bellied humans.

“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.” Hilary Kinavey, M.S., L.P.C., and Dana Sturtevant, M.S., R.D., the co-owners of Be Nourished, join the Sugars on today’s episode to offer Body Negative and women like her some hope.

Today, Kathy is joined by Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC, and their topic is what is body trust. Hilary describes body trust as “the beating heart behind the cultivation of Health at Every Size (HAES®) and intuitive eating practices,” and takes a deep dive into body trust.

Dana Sturtevant and Hilary Kinavey are the co-founders of Be Nourished, a weight neutral practice based in Portland, OR. In this episode Dana and Hilary talk about how to build Body Trust(TM), why it's so important for clinicians doing this work to use weight neutral messaging in our marketing materials, and why this work has to support people in ALL bodies. You can learn more about Be Nourished and their upcoming workshops at: https://benourished.org/

Episode's Key Points: We know that diets don't work long-term... and yet, the New Year brings the tempting diet message to the forefront, especially for those of us in larger bodies that face weight stigma. What is intuitive eating? How can it help us to find Food Peace™? The more we try to restrict, the more we feel chaotic around food, and the more likely we are to experience weight gain and eating disorders. This process of Food Peace™ is SO much harder if we live in a larger body! Diets are this big, seductive fantasy designed to keep us stuck in ideas around what makes us worthy. Let's find a way to make our bodies acceptable right NOW. Diets also hold this idea of hope for connection and acceptance, which is part of what makes it so tempting. I believe in body liberation and body autonomy... you can do what you want with your body! But I still encourage you, when you feel the pull of dieting, to consider what triggered that thought process. Investigate it, and if the root of it is yearning to connect with others, consider that connection is what you really want, not weight loss. Working towards radical self-acceptance can feel isolating! Remember that part of the seduction of dieting is hope for connection and acceptance to and from others. People in larger bodies are often praised for seeking out weight loss. It can help you feel more accepted and create a mode of connection... but that doesn't mean it's the right way forward. It's possible that diets are trying to help you meet unmet needs of acceptance and connections. Diving deeper into the WHY is so important!! Shame is likely a part of this as well, so investigate that and unwrap the true motivations behind this urge. Ask yourself, what are you really yearning for?

Download Episode! Lovely radicals, it's podcast time! In today's episode of the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast, I get to talk to Dana Sturtevant from Portland, Oregon. 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
