EP 114: Challenging Diet Mentality in the Fitness Industry w/ Jake Gifford - a podcast by Laura Thomas, PhD

In this week’s episode, I’m talking to Jake Gifford, a.k.a The Phit Coach. Jake's an experienced personal trainer who's passionate about reframing fitness as a positive, equitable and inclusive experience. 

 

We discuss:
✨ How Jake came across the non-diet, HAES paradigm and the transition into practicing from a weight-inclusive perspective
✨ Challenging fat-phobia in the fitness industry
✨ How to detach movement from diet mentality and punishment 
✨ How fitness professionals can switch their messaging and   
✨ The social determinants of health and how they can shape our health 
✨ Shifting our motivations for movement
