If your daughter makes negative comments about their body, begin by listening without criticizing or rushing to correct them. Avoid making appearance the focus, praise qualities unrelated to looks, discuss what their body allows them to do, and help them create a healthier social media feed. Small, ongoing conversations can help girls develop a more…
Dear WithAll Supporters, Driving big change requires two kinds of people: the ones out front, and the ones behind the scenes making sure the work stays on track. WithAll, and the entire eating disorder field, has been fortunate to have both, in…
On Saturday, August 8, 2026, something powerful will take place at Colby Lake Park in Woodbury (just outside St. Paul, Minnesota).

How do you encourage your kids to learn to have a healthy relationship with food & their bodies? That's what Dr Katie Loth discusses in today's video.
Diet culture runs deep. We’ve all absorbed messages about “good” and “bad” foods, ideal body types, and how our worth is tied to our appearance. These messages show up in schools, media, locker rooms, dinner tables—and most of all, in our thoughts.

Should you tighten the structure? Let it go? Say something…
