What if the advice you've been getting on Instagram about body neutrality, body positivity, and "just love yourself" is making it harder to foster positive body image?

In this episode, Nikki is joined by behavior change and nutrition coach Sarah Tierney to unpack what body image actually is from an evidence based standpoint, why the pop culture version of it often misses the mark, and how to foster positive body image - even if it feels inaccessible to you right now

Topics covered:

 

  • What body image is from an evidence based perspective

  • Body neutrality vs positive body image and why it's important to understand the difference

  • Why positive body image doesn't mean loving yourself 24/7

  • How to handle body image disruptions without spiraling into unhelpful eating behaviors

  • What autonomous weight loss actually looks like

  • How to build body appreciation when chronic illness makes "appreciate what your body can do" feels patronizing or not possible
