By shifting wellness away from weight-centric, performative self-discipline and toward sustainable, joyful, and non-judgmental practices, a truly inclusive vision of health emerges. This requires unlearning decades of anti-fat bias within the wellness industry and embracing a paradigm where all bodies are worthy of care—without condition or transformation.
