Body Image
FROM DIETITIANS
The dietitians at Beyond Nutrition are Health at Every Size (HAES)-aligned, which looks at health and healing from a social justice lens. We challenge societal norms about weight and body standards. We promise to never pathologize your body as the problem, despite what you have been taught by diet culture, the healthcare system, ableism and white supremacy.
We know that your body's story is unique and the messages you have received have likely gotten in the way of your life. This has likely led to self blame and/or dislike for your body. We know that family messages affect your body. We know that the media and false “beauty” ideals affect your body. We know that weight-centric healthcare can affect your body. We know that anti-fat bias will affect your body.
Our dietitians will NEVER recommend shrinking your body as a solution to your body image concerns. We support you eating enough using principles from the Intuitive Eating model. We will support you in trusting your body again.
