This week's guest on the podcast is Louise Adams. Louise Adams is a clinical psychologist who works in private practice from her home in Sydney, Australia and has been practising in this field for more than 20 years. She has written two books, Mindful Moments and The Non-Diet Approach Handbook for Psychologist and Counsellors (with Fiona Willer, APD). She is also the founder of UNTRAPPED, a masterclass for those who desire freedom from diet prison. Louise is Vice President of Health At Every Size Australia, and is also a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), and a member of the Clinical College of the APS. She has a special interest in problematic eating, body image, and weight struggles. Louise fights to educate people about the cruel trap of dieting, which only sets us up to fail. She uses an evidence-based anti-dieting approach to empower people to achieve permanent lifestyle change. Louise is wholly committed to the Health At Every Size (HAES) movement, and to spreading the word about shifting our attitudes about weight and health. Louise is determined to make a difference in changing society’s perceptions about health, diets, weight loss, and bodies. Louise believes that people can approach health and happiness without attaching them to weight changes. She is for body diversity and against fat prejudice. We talk about how dieting doesn't work, the problems with weight loss surgery, the horrendous fast track trial in Australia and the Obesitive Collective and its connection to Novo Nordisk.
