On March 7, 2024, the eve of International Women’s Day, four healthcare professionals from Jackson Hole shared their stories that advocated for a paradigm shift in our approach to women’s wellbeing: separating wellness and our worth from weight, food, and our bodies.

The pursuit of health and wellness for women in our society too often leads to diminished personal power in the form of negative body image and a preoccupation with food, exercise, and weight and we can take back our power.

In addition to a dynamic Q&A session, our panelists provided resources to arm attendees with the knowledge to make educated choices for how we spend our time, attention, and money on our physical appearance and health.

Our panelists’ resources are as follows. For their full biographies, click here.
