Why does weight-inclusive care matter?

If you’ve ever felt judged or dismissed in a healthcare setting because of your body size, you’re not alone. Traditional, weight-focused models often miss the bigger picture of health. That’s why weight-inclusive care is essential — and empowering.

In this blog post, we share 7 compelling reasons to seek out weight-inclusive providers — especially if you're in recovery from disordered eating or want to build a more compassionate relationship with your body.

✨ Your health is not defined by a number on the scale.
✨ Your care should be respectful, supportive, and affirming.

This blog provides facts about the importance of seeking out weight inclusive providers and how to find weight inclusive care.
