#94 - Beyond Mainstream Body Positivity 43:10

What if the body positivity movement you know today is actually working against its original goals? In this episode, we're talking about how the body positivity movement, initially focused on fat liberation and dismantling oppressive systems, has been hijacked by mainstream culture. Learn how today's body positivity often centers on privileged bodies, sidelining those it was meant to uplift, including fat, disabled, and BIPOC individuals. We're talking about: how mainstream body positivity can uphold & sometimes even strengthen the oppressive narratives of diet culture the harsh realities faced by people in larger bodies when it comes to accessible clothing & public spaces the economic & social justice implications of these exclusions how the lack of inclusivity in fashion & essential public spaces not only impacts personal aesthetics but also creates significant barriers in employment & daily life weight bias in the medical field & beyond, and how weight stigma leads to inferior healthcare & delayed treatments. how anti-fat bias seeps into employment, education, and even the judicial system, with shocking statistics about wage disparities & job discrimination. This episode is a powerful call to move beyond superficial body positivity towards true body liberation and fat positivity, advocating for systemic change and inclusivity.

[REPLAY] #51 - Is Intuitive Eating for Everyone? 56:24

56:24

Often when we talk about Intuitive Eating with new people or on social media, we hear variations of "I'd love to eat intuitively, but I can't because..." The end of that sentence is sometimes about weight loss, sometimes about health concerns, or sometimes about something completely different. So this week, we're talking about who gets to practice Intuitive Eating! We're digging into all the nuances of whether or not Intuitive Eating is really for everyone, including: whether you need to lose weight first; whether you can practice Intuitive Eating if you have a medical condition; how Intuitive Eating might work for folks in eating disorder recovery; and whether Intuitive Eating is actually accessible for folks from marginalized communities or who are experiencing financial insecurity or food insecurity.

This week, we're coming in hot with a breakdown of Oprah, Ozempic, and ob*sity.... oh my! A couple of weeks ago, Oprah did a TV special called “Shame, Blame & the Weight Loss Revolution," which was basically an hour-long infomercial for weight loss drugs. In this episode, we talk about: Oprah's history with diet culture & moral panic The difference between Oprah exercising her own body autonomy vs. going on TV to promote her diets A breakdown & critique of all the main points of the special (so you don't have to watch it!) And why framing ob*sity as a disease is both incorrect and a money-making tool for multiple industries. Note: This episode doesn't do much of a deep dive about Ozempic & GLP-1 drugs themselves because we already did a whole episode on that! So, if you’re looking for specific info about side effects, effectiveness, risk/benefits, and more… go check out episode #68 - We Need to Talk About Ozempic & Wegovy .
