Health At Every Size, what does that mean?

Here at True North we stand with Health At Every Size or HAES for short.

Yep I’m going to say it again, body size doesn’t define health. Check out these lovely principles of health. Notice no shame or restriction...too often I see these in our “wellness” culture. True wellness is gentle, loving and accepting. And don’t even get me started on Women’s health and body size.

Health is the way you feel, not look. Start paying attention to your energy, digestion, sleep, periods, anxiety, etc as indicators of health. Not the scale and/or fitting into society’s box. Our bodies naturally have a weight they like to sit, it’s often where we don’t feel deprived and we listen to our hunger cues. And yes, often entails all those beautiful curves that makes us women.

As women, we need more radical body acceptance. I hope you never deprive yourself to fit in a box. I hope you listen and trust your body. I hope you don’t swing from diet to diet. Here’s to you and all your beauty and health!

Much much love you beautiful souls~Katie
