I’m joined by Ivy Felicia, The Body Relationship Coach. This is part 2 of our 2-part discussion on navigating the evolving relationship we have with our bodies as we age. In this second part, we talk about the tools we lean on to support us through body image challenges, how ableism and the fear of losing our health influences our relationship with our body, and what it’s like to realize you look like your parents.

Alexis Conason

weight loss long-term maintenance eating disorders mindful eating intuitive eating health body image The Diet-Free Revolution

I’m revisiting my interview with Alexis Conason, clinical psychologist, eating disorder specialist, and author of The Diet-Free Revolution, unpacking everything that the research says about weight loss. Is it possible to lose weight in the long-term? What do you need to do to achieve that? Plus, how learning to eat more mindfully (in a non-diet way) can help you to become a more intuitive eater.

Show notes: summerinnanen.com/320

In this episode, we talk about:

- That long term weight loss and maintenance is extremely rare, and the industry knows it,

- How researchers have used examples of people with eating disorders as lessons for weight loss,

- That in the rare instances when people sustain weight loss long term, it’s often not in a healthy way,

- A study on contestants from The Biggest Loser, and why we never see a follow-up episode of this show,

- That health is not determined by weight and that most of what impacts health is out of our control,- How mindfulness can shift the way we see ourselves and how we interact with the world,
