Most people think health starts with weight loss, but this episode shows why that belief is wrong.

Today, I answer one powerful question:

What do you do when a client is told to lose weight “to get healthier”?

I break down where the weight-equals-health belief comes from.

I explain why clients hold onto it so tightly.

And I show how to guide them toward weight and health without dieting using a weight-neutral approach.

What you'll learn:

• Why many practitioners were trained to link weight and health
• How labels like “overweight” and “obese” create harm
• A simple coaching exercise that shifts beliefs fast
• What real health looks like without focusing on weight
• Key behaviors that support long-term wellbeing
