Sumner Brooks creator of EDRD Pro shares on PHIT for a Queen “It is the behaviors that create the health outcome, not the weight that creates Health At Every Size.“
- What is HAES? Heath At Every Size
- Found that if she was going to focus on weight loss as a solution it felt wrong.
- While Body positivity may be a trend the harm that those in larger bodies have experienced is not a trend.
- HAES is a way of living centered around well-being, not size.
- HAES is delivering the same care to everybody.
- Health is not a guarantee.
- Humans are hard-wired to believe common sense over science.
- People will do anything to avoid bullying including weight.
- Created EDRD PRO to bring high-quality education to those anywhere, anytime.
