Improving Body Image Without Focusing on Weight Loss: A Body-Positive Approach to Healing

Presented by Allison Sykora, RD | Deepen Wellness & Psychotherapy
Struggling with body image isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a deeply human experience.
At Deepen Wellness, we understand the complexities of body image, disordered eating, and the deep emotional toll of trying to meet unrealistic societal standards. In this powerful, weight-inclusive workshop, Registered Dietitian Allison Sykora explores how to support your body image without focusing on weight loss—and offers practical, science-backed tools for fostering self-compassion and healing.
Originally recorded in collaboration with Clarity Fitness (Georgia’s first body-positive fitness studio), this session has been adapted for the Deepen community to serve clients and families navigating recovery, burnout, and relationship challenges with food and body image.
