Featured Speakers:
Jessica Setnick, MS, RD, CEDRD:
“Food Fairy Tales: Eating Happily Ever After”
Obesity and eating disorders are considered opposites, yet their causes and consequences are mostly the same. Jessica Setnick shares her vision of how we can change, both personally and professionally, to allow our culture to heal from both.
“Words that Hurt, Words that Heal”
Children of every size are cautioned to “watch” their weight, slightly overweight children are told to diet, and only seriously underweight teens are even suspected of needing treatment for eating disorders. If we are serious as a nation in improving the health of the next generation, we cannot ignore eating disorders in our quest to end obesity.
John Weaver, Psy.D.:
“Wellness and the Brain”
Learn what happens in the mind that results in so many people having a hard time caring for their health. Discover the ways the mind responds differently when people become happier and more positive about their lives. Learn how to make changes in mindset that make it easier for participants in your program to be willing to take action to change their lifestyle.
