About this listen

Body Positivity, Weight Neutrality, and Health at Every Size… these terms get thrown around a lot, but what do they actually mean?

This episode breaks down the often misunderstood concepts. With nuance, personal perspective, and plenty of real-world examples, we unpack the key differences between these movements, and how they show up in both fitness and healthcare settings.

Whether you're new to these terms or have been navigating them for a while, this conversation will help you better understand what they really stand for and how to use them to support your health journey without shame or confusion.

In this episode:

  • The origins and evolution of body positivity (and why some have moved toward body neutrality)
  • What weight neutrality means for fitness, health goals, and working with a trainer
  • How HAES is often misunderstood—and what it’s really advocating for
  • Why none of these frameworks are anti-weight loss (even if they don’t center it)
  • How healthcare providers and systems often misapply these concepts—or ignore them entirely
  • The importance of reducing weight stigma and honoring body diversity
