“Say More About That” Show Notes: Episode #16 – An important conversation about Health at Every Size
Jeff Guenther, MS, LPC on Jun 16, 2019 in Say More About That
This episode was inspired by a Facebook comment thread which devolved into a bunch of therapists disagreeing with each other about the use of the word "fat" when describing a client. Jeff calls on Hillary Kinavy, a body positive and Health at Every Size expert, to break it down for us. They discuss what intuitive eating is, how to truly by "body positive", why all diets are bad, what messages we should be sending to our children about their bodies, and how we are taking back the word "fat"!
Jeff, a licensed therapist and the host of Say More About That, talks with Hilary Kinavy about health at every size.
