Having a bigger body and trying to access healthcare can be a struggle at best and lead to mistreatment, misdaignosis and death at worse. I go over the 5 stages of subpar healthcare in this episode, talk about the root of the issue and share some stories. TW: mentions of death from anti-fat bias and other general anti-fat tomfuckery.

Almost 2 years ago I released a 2 part podcast on Wegovy and so I think it’s time for an update! Is it true that semaglutide shows reduced cardiac event risk? What have been people’s experiences? Is everyone on it now and have we “cured” fatness?? Let dive in!

Should we be listening to the seemingly reasonable advice from food journalist Michael Pollan who says “Eat food, but not too much.” How much power does what we eat and how we move our bodies have on our health? What about organic food?? Today I answer a juicy listener question, some join me!

I'm on my holidays and so we have a replay for this episode from 2021 which is still super relevant. Let's listen! P.S. This is when I went by Victoria and she/her pronouns. "Self love means caring for your body which means losing weight!" Seems logical, but is it actually? Does being fat mean you've given up and don't give a sh*t about your body, your health and hate yourself? Let's put this statement to the test! TW: brief mention of sexual assault and I talk about getting a PAP/smear test.

What would my life be like today if I had never worked to unlearn anti-fat bias? I was so fortunate to stumble upon the message “It’s ok to be fat” over a decade ago and it absolutely revolutionized my life. My life was being ruined by my worship of thinness and obsession with food restriction and body criticism. I’m sharing the 6 main ways my anti-fatness was really messing with me and what it’s like now that I’ve been on the ‘unlearning journey’ for 10 years.

327 people have completed my workplace anti-fatness survey and shared their stories. In today's episode, I am revealing the stats on what percentage of fat folks have experienced anti-fatness at work, which marginalized group is affected the most and what types of anti-fatness are commonest. Plus we have a ton of powerful and painful stories - therefore there is a massive TW on this episode as some things are hard to hear.

Let me ask you a question: have you ever had diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training that was focused on size inclusion or anti-fat bias? Has anti-fat bias even been a footnote in any DEI training that you’ve had or seen? I asked these questions to company leaders, DEI professionals and my audience on Instagram and the answer was a resounding big fat ‘no’. This is a problem, a big one. Today we talk about weight bias at work, DEI efforts and fat people’s stories. Want me to train at your workplace? Go to: www.weightbiastraining.com

Seemingly there are non-stop stories and notifications of celebrities and influencers being on a new “weight loss journey” after starting on weight loss drugs. Now, Oprah is among that cohort and it has had an impact on her relationship with WeightWatchers. But hang on a minute, doesn’t WW sell weight loss drugs? Let’s dig into it!

The villainous tricksters behind the veiled push to “advance fat rights” (when in reality they just want to sell weight loss drugs) are at it again. Tigress Osborn from NAAFA is here to stop them though! She joins me on the show to talk about what new games anti-fat organizations are getting up to and why it’s a load of BS. Plus we discuss the fat community, fat joy, and fat history. TW: lots of use of the O words as we are covering shit O word organizations are doing.

Have you ever read the “Am I The Asshole” questions on Reddit? If you don’t know what AITA is: People ask the internet if they were in the right or wrong about a situation that happened in their life. Well, these questions are a source of endless entertainment for me! I brought my friend Summer Innanen from Eat The Rules podcast to get her verdict on four AITA posts that I picked out around weight and diets. Some of these AITA question askers are grade-A donkeys and also there are some grey areas where things are less clear. TW: anti-fatness, ableism, gender A-Hole behaviour.

Woah nelly, can family be trying or what? Especially if you’re the only one talking up about bad behaviour and feel like the black sheep or are being told you’re “tooooo sensitive”. If we want to (or have to) spend time with family, having some tactics in our back pockets is a great idea. Sharing your stories, an analogy with a donley and different word tracks in this episode will help you join family celebrations with a little more ease.

Some folks can come in contact with fat liberation and turn away shaking their heads at the things that we believe. The thing is, often what they understand about fat liberation is incorrect, a misunderstanding or just plain false. First I talk about the core tenets of anti-fat beliefs and then I debunk the misconceptions that people have shared on the internet. Big TW for this episode as I am talking about actual anti-fat beliefs and the content of those beliefs so there is talk of anti-fatness and ableism throughout.

Today we are talking about the the truth about reality television and how devastating it can be to the lives of those featured. There have been incredible numbers of reality TV stars who have died by suicide and I was almost a part of that statistic. If you didn’t know, I was on a 2 part BBC show where I lived in a house for 9 days with people who either hated fatness or were fat positive and some inbetween. This is a deeply vulnerable episode where I am revealing exactly what happened and the resulting shame and grief I experienced culminating in active suicide ideation. A massive trigger warning as I will be playing clips of me talking about my ideation from the time after the show aired. If you are struggling like I was, please reach out for help. You are loveable and not alone.

Listener questions part 2! Questions include: Help! I want to lose weight, but not for aesthetic reasons anymore but because the world is inaccessible. How do I cope? How to find a doctor who is fat positive? Is it true that biology dictates that fat people are less attractive to others?

With the news of the cause of death for Lisa Marie Presley recently I thought it was time to expand the list of famous people who have died at the hands of fat hate or diet culture. The first part is episode 145, but you don’t need to listen to that before this episode. I am talking about famous people who had overwhelming pressure to be thin and died trying or their life was damaged because of that. It’s a pretty tough episode so please skip if you need to. TW: Fat hate/diet culture leading to death.

The American Medical Association released a press statement saying that the use of BMI is problematic. Is this good news?? The AMA famously went against their own expert advice to classify fatness as a disease with the BMI as the way to diagnose the disease so what’s with this turn about? Does it mean that the BMI will be no more or is this just more sneaky weight loss industry lobbying which will cause more harm?
