Diet Culture is A Trap

You’ve ridden the diet merry-go-round enough times to know that it’s never going to deliver on its promises, and you’re craving something better.

Life is Busy & You Need Less

You love anti-diet social media but there’s so much information that you’re overwhelmed. You want to know exactly HOW to apply these ideas, learn effective strategies and experience meaningful change.

Life is Short & You Deserve More

You’re craving more – a deeper understanding of the issues. Ultimately, you want to feel at peace with food, body, exercise, and rock solid in your commitment to anti-dieting.

Make Anti-Dieting Easy.

Meet the UNTRAPPED Academy!

A membership bringing you the latest anti-diet ideas AND the gentle expertise and guidance and support required to embed them in your life.

In super digestible 30-minute sessions, UNTRAPPED Academy membership gives you new speakers each month, a skills training session to help bring those ideas to life, plus a live support group session with a clinical psychologist.

You’ll also have access to our growing library of past talks and skills training workshops and membership to our members-only Facebook group.

Welcome to the UNTRAPPED Academy! I’m Your Host, Louise Adams.

I am a clinical psychologist who has worked in the field for almost 25 years. My pronouns are she/her, and my body size is currently in the category of small fat. I am a fierce anti-diet advocate, author and host of the All Fired Up podcast from Sydney, Australia. In my private practice, I work with people struggling with disordered eating, eating disorders, and size-based discrimination and I’m constantly advocating against weight stigma and prejudice. I run training workshops for health professionals on the non-diet approach, have been published twice in academic journals pushing back against biased weight-centric research, and have presented at numerous professional conferences. I launched the original version of UNTRAPPED as an online anti-diet program in 2017. Since then I have hosted regular online support groups and the UNTRAPPED online anti-diet community has become incredibly strong. The UNTRAPPED Academy is a natural progression for UNTRAPPED, and I am excited to continue bringing this anti-diet community together.

How To Know That We’re A Good Fit

The UNTRAPPED Academy is for you if:

You’re a relatively new anti-dieter, hungry to explore the world of anti-dieting beyond social media posts.

You’re a seasoned anti-dieter, keen to keep on top of new anti-diet developments and sharpen your skills.

You’re craving an anti-diet community but you don’t have anyone around you.

You don’t have the resources to spend on courses or one-on-one help.

You’re overwhelmed by the volume of anti-diet information out there.

You’re wanting to learn from many teachers.

The UNTRAPPED Academy is not for you if:

You’re a health professional looking for professional education points. Of course, if you’re a health professional and still wanting to learn and get support, we won’t say no!

You have an active eating disorder and in the early stages of treatment (we recommend that you have a good level of recovery before joining us, and that you’re in therapy). The UNTRAPPED Academy is not a therapeutic program, we are an education, skills and support hub.

You’re actively pursuing weight loss. The UNTRAPPED Academy is not a diet!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time will I need to set aside to benefit from this membership?

We’ve struck a balance between giving our members the deep level of learning, skills training and community support they deserve to enjoy all the benefits of lasting change with ensuring that overwhelm doesn’t kick in. We provide regular content to members in 3 convenient sessions of 30-45 minutes per month, so just a little over 2 hours a month is your time commitment for maximum benefit.

If I can’t make it live to a session but I really want to ask a specific question, can I submit my question beforehand and get it answered?

Absolutely! Just send an email to louise@untrapped.com.au naming the specific talk/skills session/support group meeting, alongside your question, and we’ll make sure it gets answered (time permitting, as all Q&A’s are 15 minutes).

Where are your UNTRAPPED Academy testimonials?

As an AHPRA registered health professional, our founder Louise Adams is not legally permitted to use testimonials to advertise. But our track record speaks for itself – we’ve been an online community since 2017!

There’s a specific topic I’m interested to learn more about/increase my skills in, but I can’t see anything in the library or upcoming calendar.

We’re always interested in hearing what topics people are interested in – let us know what you’d like to hear more about/a particular speaker or skills trainer, and we’ll get on it! Send an email to louise@untrapped.com.au.

How easy is it to cancel my membership?

It’s super easy to cancel your membership and you can do this at any time – just hop into your billing area and select the option to cancel.

How do I know what’s happening, how much notice will I get for each session?

We have our upcoming events calendar here. We also send weekly emails with nudges so you won’t miss anything!

I have an eating disorder, is this membership suitable for me?

We have many members who have suffered with disordered eating and eating disorders. However, the UNTRAPPED Academy is not a therapeutic treatment program. We provide information, skills training and support. We are happy to be here for members in a general support capacity but if you are in the grips of an eating disorder, in the early parts of recovery, or suffering with severe mental health issues we recommend that you focus on that first. We’ll be here once your recovery is stronger. Please get in touch with Louise directly if you’re not sure, on louise@untrapped.com.au.

I’m interested in becoming a speaker/skills trainer, how can I find out more?

We’d love to hear from you! Send an email to louise@untrapped.com.au, and tell us more about yourself and what you’d like to do.
