I’m chatting with DeAun Nelson and Sarah Thompson, HAES Practitioners. We talk about what factors influence our health, how to stop blaming yourself for not being able to lose weight and how to advocate for your health at the doctor. In this episode, we chat about:   - Sarah and DeAun’s very different paths to finding health at every size and what inspired them to start the Do No Harm podcast,  - How to understand and believe the truth about weight and health,  - Their advice to people who hold resentment or blame themselves for not being able to lose weight,  - How to find your own definition of health and why focusing on “healing over health” might be a more useful and compassionate strategy, - What to do at the doctor to communicate your needs and advocate for better care, - How to find a health at every size practitioner, Plus, so much more!
