Happy Satiated Saturday! This episode of the Satiated Podcast we're going deep! I talk with Lauren Merklin, who is a fat Anti Diet Coach for women. She helps women unlearn diet culture and fatphobia, to live beyond the scale and view their body as an ally instead of an enemy. Lauren's passionate about creating a safe space for women, especially plus size, to heal away from diet culture and weight bias so they can finally have a peaceful relationship with food and their body. She uses a non-diet HAES and fat positivity approach to wellness.In this week’s episode, we explore body positivity and how far away we have moved from the original intention of this movement, what is anti fat bias, how it could be affecting you, the history of fat bias, and explorations to engage in for yourself to explore your own body beliefs. This is an incredibly powerful episode. If you have struggled with your body image, this is a must listen.You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/what-is-fat-bias-and-how-could-it-be-affecting-youIf you have any questions, email me at support@stephaniemara.com anytime!With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Lauren: Build Better Boundaries Course (Starting next week!): https://www.antidietfatty.com/courses/boundariesWebsite: https://www.antidietfatty.com/Download her free 9 responses to diet talk so you can protect your own healing while respecting loved ones here: www.antidietfatty.com/f/9responsesInstagram: @antidietfattyEmail: lauren@antidietfatty.comResources discussed in this episode: 108 Factors That Affect Weight: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/296290/obesity-map-full-hi-res.pdfSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter of the show here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportCheck out my favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingCheck out my favorite protein powder and receive 15% off when you use the code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/discount/STEPHANIEMARA?rfsn=7433250.c99684Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsoun...
