What's the Format?
The Nourished Mind is a 5-week program that starts February 7th, 2023 and consists of weekly 60-minute discussion calls via Zoom and a private community to ask questions and chat between calls.
Participants will be asked to purchase Aubrey Gordon's "'You Just Need to Lose Weight' and 19 Other Myths About Fat People" in whatever format they choose (Book, eBook, Audio Book etc.) and each week will be asked to read certain sections to prepare for the discussion calls.
Each discussion will be facilitated by Jennifer Neale, Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor so that participants have the opportunity to learn and ask questions from Jennifer as well as hear from each other.
The program will be capped at 10 participants so that everyone has an opportunity to contribute and feel heard. As a group, we will also be establishing some collective ground rules so that participants feel safe and supported throughout each weekly discussion.
About the Book
Written by Aubrey Gordon, co-host of the Maintenance Phase Podcast, this book addresses and debunks 20 different common myths around weight and health. Some of the topics discussed in the book include: weight loss, calories in, calories out, BMI, weight stigma, glorifying obesity, anti-fat bias, emotional eating, and much more. Aubrey also outlines opportunities to take action and push back against anti-fat bias.
We chose this book to kick off the Nourished Mind because this book is a great starting point to address some of those common questions that many people have if they're new to the concept of weight inclusivity or aren't quite sure how to separate body size from health. As a reader, Aubrey provides you with insights into her own personal experience as well as provides well-researched facts and action points to start expanding your beliefs about fat acceptance. We can't wait to dive in with you.
