Health at Every Size (HAES) is a movement promoting well-being and body acceptance without focusing on weight loss. It recognizes that health is multidimensional and influenced by various factors beyond weight. HAES emphasizes self-compassion, joyful movement, intuitive eating, and respectful care. It challenges the societal norm equating thinness with health and advocates for body diversity and inclusivity. HAES encourages individuals to adopt sustainable habits and prioritize their overall well-being rather than pursuing a specific body size or appearance. It aims to reduce weight stigma and create a supportive environment where everyone can pursue health and happiness without judgment.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach developed by Richard Schwartz that views the mind as composed of various subpersonalities or "parts." According to IFS, each part has its own unique perspective, emotions, and behaviors. The goal of IFS therapy is to facilitate communication, understanding, and harmony among these internal parts. The therapist helps the client identify and engage with different parts, allowing them to express themselves, be understood, and heal. The IFS approach emphasizes self-leadership, self-compassion, and the belief that each part has positive intentions. By fostering cooperation and balance among parts, individuals can experience greater emotional well-being and integration.
