WIND Professional Membership

Welcome to the first inclusive dietetics professional membership! WIND opened this weight-inclusive professional membership option to our community to fill the gap between what other organizations are offering in the spaces of continuing education, community, and change.

Join as a WIND member and join a collective of providers, activists, students, and interns working to make weight inclusive care the norm.

Who are WIND members?

We are students, interns, educators, researchers, clinicians, activists, and humans.

We are fat, BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, Non-Binary, Co-Conspirators, Allies in Training, Agitators, and Providers.

We are your weight-inclusive BFFs, mentors, advisors, colleagues.

This is your professional home.

WIND Values:

  • Integrity

  • Inclusion

  • Activism

  • "For years I was hopeful for a community built for dietitians that actually supported my belief in weight-inclusive care. I am so happy that the WIND membership now exists to connect us in community and create learning opportunities to grow the weight-inclusive nutrition field. I truly believe WIND members will have a big part in shaping real, positive change in how we approach nutrition."

    -Amy Rapone, RD of RadLove Nutrition LLC

  • "There is such a need for a space like WIND in the dietetics profession. While I'm so thankful I had some amazing mentors in my early years as a weight inclusive dietitian, getting to have a space for trainings, community, connection, and continuing education is what I wish my younger self had access to. My favorite part of WIND has for sure been the in-person events - getting to meet all my Instagram friends in real life and then seeing them again at the next event makes my extroverted social self so happy, and feels so validating that I get to be in community with other like-minded folks."

    -Morgan Sinclair, MS, RDN, LD

  • "Sometimes working in the weight inclusive space can feel a bit like a silo in the midst of much larger dietetics organizations. With WIND you pretty quickly realize you can jump into the deeper stuff because we all have a similar baseline that we are working from and moving through the world from. I think the continuing education offerings are awesome, and I think the membership is going to be an amazing opportunity for our field."

    -Gina Mateer, RD, LD, CEDRD-S, RYT200

    Interoceptive Nutrition, LLC

  • "I am so grateful for WIND! I feel at home at WIND because of the shared values of its members. At the same time, the community challenges me to think in new and expansive ways and I have grown so much because of the truly inspiring people who are a part of WIND. "

    -Dr. Kendrin Sonneville

    University of Michigan School of Public Health

  • "WIND has been a place of community, growth, transparency, and unlearning and relearning for me. I am so thankful to found a place where I can truly connect with like-minded colleagues."
