Healthism is a term new to most of us, and especially to our non-diet coaching clients. It can be defined as the preoccupation with personal health as a primary focus for the definition and achievement of well-being; a goal which is to be attained primarily through the modification of lifestyles.

Healthism is in a way the upgraded version of Diet Culture. Instead of judging people based on their “thinness”, it judges folks (including our clients) based on their health.

In this episode of the podcast, we will explore the ramification of healthism – the desire to be healthy gone wrong – with an expert in the topic, Dana Sturtevant.

What you'll learn listening to this episode on Healthism-Wellness Culture 101:

• What is healthism
• How does healthism show up in day-to-day life
• How can we sit with health uncertainty
• Body Trust as a solution
• How body trust is disrupted by trauma, weight stigma
