Welcome to "Change Your Relationship with Food," hosted by Kyla Holley. With extensive experience as an eating disorder and bariatric therapist, Kyla provides insights into developing a healthier relationship with food.
In this episode, Kyla discusses her recent experience at an international conference in Melbourne, where academics debated the question: Is obesity a disease? She explores both sides of the argument, examining whether obesity should be classified as a disease, its implications for public perception, medical treatment, and personal responsibility.
Kyla shares thought-provoking points raised during the debate, including the medical community's stance, the role of BMI, and the potential stigma and benefits of such a classification. She also offers practical tips for advocating for yourself in healthcare settings.
Join Kyla as she navigates this complex topic, encouraging listeners to question assumptions and consider the broader implications of how we view body weight and health.
Kyla Holley is the Director of the Australian Centre for Eating Behaviour www.acfeb.com
