Body positivity and the wellness lifestyle are not inherently opposed, but their mainstream forms operate in deep tension. Body positivity risks being co-opted into aesthetic inclusivity that leaves healthism intact. Wellness risks reinforcing the very hierarchies of worth that body positivity seeks to dismantle.
