Destigmatizing Obesity and Battling Misinformation with Dr. Danielle Belardo

This week on The WoMed, your hosts are joined by cardiologist Dr. Danielle Belardo! We learn that Danielle has some serious A-list followers, then take a deep dive into COVID and the realities on the front-lines vs. denial on social media. Danielle shares her frustrations with diet culture and her work in destigmatizing obesity. The three discuss the danger of misinformation online and analyze why people often fall victim to these falsehoods. Danielle then shares the most ridiculous diet she’s ever seen and shares advice on finding good, trusted resources among all the misinformation. Plus, she talks about bringing her podcast back alongside Podcast Nation, and everything you have to look forward to there!
