The words, lessons and advice Heather would offer herself 3 or 5 years ago; and how this insight can support health practitioners who are currently studying and/or working in weight centric spaces or those who might be new to the HAES / non-diet / weight inclusive paradigm.   How being a part of this community can open us up for self-reflection and help us to investigate social conditioning and personal patterns which can get in the way. The importance of acknowledging the decades of work that has come before us.  Using the Iceberg Analogy within the HAES / weight inclusive community to understand visibility, the need for ongoing learning (and unlearning), the power of a beginners mind and so much more.   As mentioned in the podcast: Real Talk RD Podcast with Marcy Evans Weight Inclusive Nutrition and Dietetics (WIND)   Weight Inclusive Nutrition and Dietetics Webinar: A Deeper Look at Health at Every Size® with Kimmy Singh The Mindful Dietitian Podcast with Kimmy Singh More about Heather:    Find out more: Website Podcast Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest
