At Annie Schwartz Nutrition, we help organizations and healthcare systems create truly inclusive environments where all bodies are valued, respected, and supported. Whether you’re reimagining workplace wellness programs or transforming clinical care practices, we offer tailored education, training, and consultation grounded in Health at Every Size® and weight-inclusive care.
We understand that people have an inherent desire to be well, but larger cultural messages often promote unrealistic and extreme practices in the name of "health." These messages can hinder the development of lasting wellness habits that support our minds, bodies, and overall well-being.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that every body deserves kindness, respect, and equitable access to care. Unfortunately, many traditional wellness initiatives — though well-intentioned — can inadvertently harm the very employees they aim to support. We offer the tools and expertise to shift these systems and build a more inclusive, supportive culture from the ground up.

Support for Healthcare Organizations & Clinical Teams
Support for Healthcare Organizations & Clinical Teams
In addition to workplace wellness, I provide consultation and training for healthcare providers looking to embed size-inclusive practices into patient care. Drawing from my experience implementing a size-inclusive care initiative at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), I offer real-world solutions for organizations and clinical teams striving to integrate weight-neutral care.
Services include:
Provider Education: Training for physicians, NPs, PAs, and medical staff on weight stigma, size-inclusive approaches to care, and providing patient-centered care.
Patient-Centered Care Development: Supporting the creation of size-inclusive intake forms, documentation practices, and communication strategies.
DEIB Integration: Aligning diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) goals with size-inclusive care principles for holistic, patient-centered practices.
Leadership Consultation: Collaborating with leadership teams to develop strategies, set measurable goals, and implement size-inclusive initiatives across your organization.
Example Presentation/Training Topics specific to Healthcare environments:
Weight Stigma and Anti-Fat Bias in Healthcare
Discuss the impact of weight stigma and anti-fat bias in healthcare settings and provide actionable strategies to mitigate bias in patient care. Focus on creating equitable, respectful, and patient-centered environments for all body sizes.
Size-Inclusive Healthcare: What It Is and Why It Matters
Provide healthcare professionals with the foundational understanding of size-inclusive care, its importance in improving patient outcomes, and strategies for integrating size inclusivity into clinical settings.
Health at Every Size (HAES)® Principles and Framework of Care
Introduce healthcare providers to the principles of HAES®, promoting well-being without focusing on weight. Learn how to provide care that emphasizes holistic health and honoring body diversity.
Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
Recognize that eating disorders are often overlooked in higher-weight bodies, leading to missed diagnoses and delayed care. This session will provide healthcare providers with tools for early identification of eating disorders, particularly in marginalized or higher-weight patients, and how to offer compassionate, size-inclusive care.
Communicating About GLP-1s and Weight-Related Medications
Equip healthcare providers with tools for discussing weight-related medications, such as GLP-1s, in a way that respects patient autonomy, minimizes stigma, and supports informed decision-making. Learn how to navigate sensitive conversations and offer patients options that align with their health values and goals.
