21: Decoupling Weight and Fitness - Ashantis Jones
Ashantis Jones (she/they), MEd, QMHP, CPT joins Abbey on today's episode! We talk about the oppressive systems embedded in diet and fitness culture that perpetuate eating disorders, desire for weight loss, and negative body image. Ashantis shares how taking intersectional approach can help not only meet clients where they are at, but help them to reach their goals without guilt or shame. Tune into this episode to hear more on how fitness doesn't have a "look", average clothing size in the US, the Aerie campaign, and more.
