Since 2018, WIND has provided over 100 hours of weight inclusive professional development and continuing education for its members and community, and opened the first-ever weight inclusive professional membership for registered dietitians. WIND’s mission is to support a paradigm shift, making inclusive care the norm in the healthcare system. 

The Lane 9 Project (L9P) was founded in Washington DC by Alexis Fairbanks and Heather Caplan, to share the stories and experiences of athletes who struggle(d) with disordered eating, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia. L9P advocates for a healthier relationship to food, body, and movement so that all levels of sport are more accessible and inclusive to all who wish to participate. Lane 9 hosts community events, coach and team trainings, and curates a supportive online and in-person network for active individuals. Their work has been featured in the Washington Post and NBC News.
