#216: Will accepting my body make me unhealthy? (Body Image Series)

I’m responding to the question “Will accepting my body make me unhealthy?” I also explore how our culture has made us believe that being thinner is the only way to be healthy, and why health is multi-faceted, as part of the Body Image Series. Show notes: summerinnanen.com/216 In this episode, I talk about: - How we’ve lost touch of what is good for us in the pursuit of weight loss by blending weight and health together, - How the anti-diet message often gets interpreted as being anti-health, when it’s about finding what’s best for your body and doing things from a place of self-care, - Why this message actually makes us more stressed and results in a poorer body image, - What the research says about body image and health, - How health is improved by behaviours, not outcomes, - How having a positive body image leads to a higher likelihood of engaging in health promoting behaviours, Plus so much more!
