The contemporary wellness industry often promotes a narrow, appearance-driven ideal of health, while the body positivity movement advocates for acceptance of all bodies regardless of shape, size, or ability. This paper examines the relationship between body positivity and wellness lifestyles, identifying areas of conflict (such as weight-centric fitness goals) and potential synergy (such as intuitive eating and Health at Every Size). It concludes that a truly holistic wellness lifestyle must integrate the core tenets of body positivity: respect, inclusivity, and the decoupling of health from moral virtue.
