This week tune in as we discuss all the ways we can be supportive of our clients at higher weights.
How do we talk to people about their weight & their nutrition & their health without lecturing or shaming?
When & why might it be relevant to discuss weight during pregnancy...and when is it unnecessary?
How can we be size-inclusive in our approaches to caring for people who are pregnant and preparing to give birth?
This discussion between Ray Rachlin of Refuge Midwifery, Sarah Marotto, GestationDietitian, & Maggie explores addressing our biases and shifting culture around the role of weight in health.
