In a world with so much fear or emphasis surrounding weight loss and diet culture, it’s hard to know what information is the “right” information. I’m joined by Rachel Rae Garmon to talk about the balance we can achieve between body acceptance and body change. About Rachel Rae Garmon Rachel is a communicator and educator working on her second (yes, second: her first is in communications!) Masters in clinical mental health counseling. Rachel is exploring the diet industry, body image, and how we can find that sought-after healthy balance. People tend to focus on weight loss for everyone or the body positivity movement. Rachel thinks it’s a very individual decision to make. It’s important to consider the reason and motivation behind why someone wants to lose weight. Rachel talks us through how we can start to reframe our mindset so we’re less focused on our body. Rachel is not saying that all weight loss is bad! She believes there are ways to approach losing weight that can be healthy and in line with your core values.  We need to redefine the words we use. Diet has such a negative connotation when really, it’s simply the foods you consume on a daily basis. We agree that there needs to be a cultural reeducation around the language used in the health, wellness, fitness, and diet industries as a whole. Do you know what the best way to workout is? How can you reframe your mindset surrounding your body? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!   Got a question you’d love to hear me answer on the show? Leave me a voice message here!   In This Episode  Why wanting to lose weight is a very individual decision to make Why you need to explore the reasoning behind why you want to lose weight How to reframe your mindset to be less focused on your body What the best way to workout is Why saying “weight loss is bad” is not the answer Why we should redefine the words we use How we can reeducate our culture on what the meaning of “diet” actually is    Quotes “What is the make-up of everything that’s going on, what is the person experiencing? It’s just not as simple as no one can ever want to lose weight or change their body. And it’s not as simple as weight loss equals health. Because neither of those are correct.” (13:36) “People need to recognize that their mental state is impacting their physiological state. The body holds onto things and remembers things that our minds tuck away.” (26:22) “People are going to disagree that you can never change your body from a healthy state. I don’t think that is correct. I think some people can. I think it depends on what’s at the core and why are they doing it.”  (28:28) “What’s the best for this person that’s sitting in front of us and what do they need to really find healing and get to where they are going to feel good in their body?” (1:02:38)   Links Find Rachel Rae Garmon Online Follow Rachel Rae Garmon on Instagram Book your Functional Nutrition Strategy Session with Me Find Fed and Fearless Online Got a question you’d love to hear me answer on the show? Leave me a voice message here!
