In this three-hour workshop, the presenter will provide an overview of the intersectionality between the etiology of eating disorders and contemporary American diet culture, with a specific emphasis on internalized weight biases and the impact this has on clinical work. A deeper clinical dive following this overview will explore appropriate evidence-based treatment (EBTs) and interventions, and the particular limitations of these strategies relative to transgender populations. An introduction to Health at Every Size (HAES) as an innovative new approach to address weight bias and stigma will provide participants additional strategies and tools to promote body and size acceptance in clinical practice.

2. Operationalize an understanding of diet culture as the primary contributor to etiology of eating disorders
3. Implement Healthy at Every Size principals in clinical settings, both in treatment planning & office design
