Very special guest Tracey Carnazzo—a pal of Remy and Emily’s and of course, a pal of DST—joins for today’s episode to talk about her lived experiences in a plus size body. Tracey shares her background as a comedian, before unpacking her personal body journ’. From being put on WeightWatchers at 12 years old to her struggles with high cholesterol, Tracey was always taught that her worth is her weight (unfortunately, too relatable). Tracey tells Remy and Emily some *wild* experiences she has had with doctors (re: only being offered diet pills or weight loss surgery), before sharing her refreshing experience working with a weight neutral coach. They wrap up talking about body image, dating, and of course, the apps. Check out our latest promo codes here: https://betches.com/promos   Learn more about your ad choices.

A Doctor Only Focused On My Weight, So I Ran Out Of Their Office Ft. Tracey Carnazzo

Welcome to Good Bodies, a “wellness” entertainment podcast where all bodies are good bodies. If you’re still reeling from the toxic diet culture of the early 2000s (justice for Jessica Simpson) and constantly quoting your therapist, then Emily Lubin and Lauren Hope Krass are here to help you laugh (so you don’t cry). Diets can’t sit with us anymore but there’s a place at the table for body neutrality, body positivity, intuitive eating, and hot takes about which non-dairy creamer pairs best with our sharp cheddar cheese omelettes.

On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren are reviewing South Park’s newest movie “The End Of Ob*sity” which delves into the current cultural conversation around semaglutide injectables. Yes, South Park is a ridiculous and oftentimes offensive cartoon for adults… but do they make some valid points in this special? One of the running jokes they make is that “Rich people get Ozempic. Poor people get Lizzo.” Lauren especially has some thoughts on this and yes, we do enter the abyss of “Lauren’s conspiracy corner” for just a bit. A message from Emily and Lauren: Okay we love you but please stop making us watch this stuff.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is South Park Done With Fat Jokes?

On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren start things off with their advice segment. A listener writes in who has joined a fitness program which has accidentally reactivated some disordered thinking and eating. She joined because the trainer was super friendly and because they advertise body positive language. Do wellness programs have a responsibility to get the vocab right when it comes to terminology like “guilt-free eating”? If a calorie deficit is still being encouraged, is it really guilt free? This prompts a conversation about how confusing it can be to navigate wellness programs and the fitness industry as someone in search of true weight neutral care. The two close us out with a vocab lesson and tips on what to look out for. Thanks Emily and Lauren!   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“It’s Not A Diet, It’s A Lifestyle” And Other Lies The Wellness Industry Told Us

On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren are bringing you a Wellness Check all about their recent experiences with group fitness classes. Lauren recaps an aqua zumba class she recently attended where all the participants were plus size. Heaven is a place on earth and it's in a pool with fellow fat babes?? Then, Emily shares how bored she is with her current workout routine and she even muses about joining Lauren for one of her plus size group fitness classes. The event group is called “Power Plus Wellness” and before each class they make sure to say “All shapes and sizes are welcome here but we are plus size focussed.” Should Emily join in or should it be a protected fat space? Why can’t there be more body positive fitness spaces plus size focussed or not?   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Help! My Workout Routine is BORING.

On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren start things off by discussing their opinions on elective plastic surgery. Bodily autonomy is important but are we forgetting to ask investigative questions such as… Is the male gaze playing a role? A self proclaimed member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee ™ ,Emily shares what it was like to grow up with a mom who had larger boobs and reveals some shocking new information. Then, they welcome comedian and musician, Rachel Green to the show who has recently decided to have breast reduction surgery for medical and self care reasons. Currently at a J cup, Rachel reveals that she’s already feeling some pre-grief about something that has been such a big part of her life; pun intended. She goes on to share how she came to this decision as well as the ins and outs of getting it approved, what the surgery will entail and what after-care will look like.

Nips, Tucks, Lifts: A Conversation About Breast Surgeries

On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren have a charged conversation about an Indiana judge’s recent ruling that a taco is indeed a sandwich. Um… is everyone okay? Then, they close us out with a Self Care Share all about skincare. Turns out just taking off your makeup doesn’t quite qualify as a skincare routine but nobody told Lauren. Emily doles out some much needed advice about starting small and the importance of spf. Lauren shares her newfound love for French skincare products and advises to not overthink it, “Just buy some fancy sh*t, put it on your sink and goop it on your face sometimes.” Wise words.
