Intuitive Eating & Weight-Inclusive Care
About This Module
This module introduces intuitive eating as a weight-neutral, evidence-based approach to rebuilding trust with food and body. It challenges diet culture myths and weight-centric healthcare practices while offering practical strategies for inclusive care. Key topics include the 10 principles of intuitive eating (e.g., rejecting diet mentality, honoring hunger/fullness), the harms of medical fatphobia, and systemic weight stigma in healthcare. Interactive reflections and case studies encourage learners to examine personal biases and implement weight-neutral practices, such as consent-based weight discussions and root-cause diagnostics. Specifically, the module emphasizes:
-
Dismantling diet culture and its disproportionate impact on marginalized groups.
-
Adopting intuitive eating to reduce disordered eating behaviors and improve mental/physical well-being.
-
Creating inclusive environments by addressing structural biases (e.g., equipment accessibility, diagnostic assumptions).
Resources include HAES (Health at Every Size) principles, bias self-assessments, and clinician tools for fostering body autonomy. For broader context on this module series, visit the Home page.
“I liked how it explained intuitive eating as more than just ‘eat whatever you want.’ It showed me how it’s about actually listening to my body.”
“I appreciated how the module tied everything back to self-respect and body trust. It felt less about rules and more about rebuilding a relationship with myself.”
“What stood out to me was the practical tips...like checking hunger and fullness cues or even doing a social media purge. They felt doable in daily life.”
“I appreciated the balance of information and encouragement. It wasn’t just about the problems with diet culture, but about what we can do instead.”
