Phit for a Queen: A Female Athlete Podcast

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.
