Alexis, how would you define like anti-diet and or health at every size aligned approaches? And like, what are some of the biggest misconceptions that people have about these terms?
19:22
Yeah.
19:23
So when we talk about things like I mean, I think that there's a little bit of nuance to each term.
19:29
I've been using the term weight inclusivity.
19:33
I feel like that encompasses a lot of what we're talking about.
19:39
And to me, it's really similar to what Laura just described, the idea of helping people work towards their goals, whether their health goals, physical health, mental health, working towards those health goals without focusing on weight.
19:57
So I get, like I'm sure many people come into my office and they want to lose weight.
22:53
How do you see that intersecting in your work?

Welcome to Body Peace.
1:17
You know, like if you want to improve your health, focus on improving your health, not losing weight.
1:21
Like it makes a lot of, you know, it's kind of common sense, which is when you're immersed in the diet mentality, I think sometimes we lose sight of common sense.
1:30
But not everybody's a research person.
1:32
So I don't think everybody needs that.
1:34
And I think for a lot of people, it's just kind of, helping validate their own lived experiences.
1:42
For myself personally, when I started to kind of toy with the idea that diets don't work, it made sense to me because it had never worked for me.

But this is a really fascinating phenomenon that's occurring, and I'm wondering if it's something you're interacting with.
