To be able to move your body is such an incredible gift and that gets to look different for everyone.

For so long, mainstream fitness has taught us that exercise needs to look a certain way and has provided us with a sort of one-size-fits-all approach to well-being.

This approach has also given us a very narrow idea of what a ‘healthy person’ looks like.

Diet culture is at the root of these beliefs.

Diet culture: the ideology that worships thinness and prioritizes it above mental and physical well-being.

Diet culture has a lot to answer for, from our inner critic to our disordered relationships with food and exercise.

CDW supports people to move away from the noise of diet culture and tune into their own internal wisdom.

*A note of weight loss, because humans are complex and nothing is cut and dry.

Whilst CDW is anti-diet culture a.k.a the ideology that worships thinness and prioritizes it above mental and physical well-being, the philosophy that underpins all of CDW’s work is bodily autonomy. That means that if you have a weight loss goal then that is completely valid and you will be supported in an evidence-based way that also prioritizes your holistic well-being.
