Meeting in the Middle: A Discussion about Body Positivity and Health

Can I love and accept my body while also trying to actively improve my health? There’s a great divide between messages of body positivity and taking charge of your weight because of your health. Which side should you take?

Rather than focusing on the negatives of both arguments, this thought-provoking session led by obesity medicine specialist Scott Kahan, MD, MPH; and weight bias researcher Rebecca Pearl, PhD, will help you discover common ground between these two popular philosophies. So, if you’ve ever wondered how to balance health with self-love and appreciation, tune-in to this exciting discussion!
