457-Coach Corner: Protective Effect Of Feminist Values On Eating Behavior & Body Image
Monday, March 30, 2026Stephanie Dodier
Why feminist identity (not just beliefs) protects women from disordered eating, and what that means for non-diet health coaching.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why feminist identity protects against body dissatisfaction and disordered eating, and what the research actually says
- The difference between holding a belief and embodying it, and why that gap is the reason your clients get stuck
- Why socialization, not willpower or readiness, is what drives client resistance
- What healthism is and why it's the layer most health professionals haven't addressed yet
- Why feminism is a clinical tool in the Beyond The Food Method, not a political stance
