Going into the summer months can often mean we are inundated with messaging around “summer bodies” or other diet culture talk that doesn’t actually serve us. While there are ways we can take care of ourselves that do involve movement and eating a balanced diet, it’s important we begin to unpack any internalized fatphobia that we may have learned from society.
These anti-diet culture creators are helping thousands redefine their relationship to food and bodies, and are transforming the way we talk about movement and healthy living!

Unlearning diet culture and redefining our relationship to food and movement takes time and a whole lot of self-compassion.

If you are looking for a coach, some self-guided tools, or just someone who’s validating and shame-free, one (or many) of these creators may be for you!
