EARN 1.5 NYS CE CREDITS
Health at Every Size (HAES) has been a framework to approach health from the lens of body size diversity, and as an antidote to dieting and harmful diet culture. The mid-2010s through to early 2020s saw a large movement towards challenging weight stigma in our society and a move towards body acceptance. It also saw a nascent dismantling of the inaccurate conflation of weight as a proxy for health.
Fast forward to 2021, and many of us experienced whiplash with the introduction onto the marketplace of GLP-1RAs in the form of Ozempic. Although a medication designed to treat diabetes, weight loss was a side effect. It was quickly snapped up by many seeking weight loss, creating a supply chain crisis for many diabetics.
Since that time we have seen several other GLP-1RA weight loss medications launched onto the marketplace. Advertising is everywhere. High profile celebrities, entertainers, and even professional elite athletes and sports professionals have hailed its benefits. The pressure to use this medication, and hence to lose weight, has never been greater. This presentation will explore this recent phenomenon, asking the question: is the HAES framework still relevant?
