New Year, No Guilt: A Sustainable, Shame-Free Approach to Movement

The New Year often brings a flood of diet-culture messages—reset, restart, burn it off, no excuses. At Vida Family Medicine, we believe there’s a better way.

Join Dr. Rebecca Berens (weight-inclusive family physician) and Dr. Sara Ionescu (family physician + movement coach) for a compassionate, realistic conversation about building a sustainable movement practice—without guilt, pressure, or perfectionism.

This event is designed to help you reconnect with movement in a way that supports your health, energy, and overall wellbeing—not to shrink your body.

You’ll Learn:

• How to build movement habits that are flexible, realistic, and sustainable
• Why “falling off track” is normal—and not something to feel ashamed of
• Ways to bring more movement into everyday life without rigid rules
• How to recognize and reject diet-culture messaging around exercise
• How to choose movement that feels good, honors your body, and supports long-term health

Who This Is For

Anyone who wants to feel better in their body, move more consistently, or start the New Year without diet-culture pressure.

No fitness level required. No weigh-ins. No shaming. Just support.

What to Expect

This is a zero-pressure, welcoming space. Join with your camera on or off. We’ll close with a Q&A so you can get personalized guidance.

Start the New Year with support—not shame. We’d love to have you there.
