Why Should I Work with a HAES Dietitian? — ATTUNE NUTRITION Have you heard about Health at Every Size® (HAES) but you’re not sure if it is right for you or what it is all about? This article will explain the science behind HAES and the importance of finding the right dietitian for your eating disorder treatment team.

Lifestyle factors, individual health behaviors, account for as little as 5-25% of health outcomes-- not near the powerhouse that we've been led to believe.
In fact, counting, tracking, and keeping food and movement tightly regimented only puts our nervous system in a state of hypervigilance, which wreaks havoc on our body's systems.
The truth is, factors like discrimination, oppression, genetics, and environmental racism affect our health far more than what we eat or how much we move.

Many of us, even knowing these facts, may still feel disconnected from our body's natural cues and signals. We recommend starting a gentle dialogue with yourself:
If you woke up in a weight-inclusive world, where you never had to worry about weight bias again, where you had access to all the inclusion, resources, and positive attention that you needed and wanted, what would you want to do to take care of yourself? What would you want to do more of? What would you want to do less of?
