Have you ever wondered about the hidden biases in healthcare that affect those of higher weights? Prepare to have your eyes opened by Ragan Chastain, a dynamic keynote speaker who joins us to unpack the prevalence of weight stigma and its deep-seated roots in racism and anti-blackness. Our conversation is a primer for Ragan's much-anticipated keynote at the upcoming Eating Disorder Conference, where she'll dive deeper into cultivating a healthcare environment free from bias and discrimination. We discuss the urgent need for education in the healthcare sector and provide a list of essential readings to arm yourself with knowledge on this critical issue.
The weight loss industry's influence on our perceptions of health comes under the microscope as we chat with Ragan. We scrutinize the troubling ethics of profit-driven research and the promotion of drug dependency for weight management, drawing parallels with Big Pharma's notorious past. Our investigation doesn't stop there; we also dissect how the industry's narratives and marketing tactics have shaped public opinion, often placing undue blame on individuals for weight regain, and the physiological responses that complicate weight loss efforts. This episode will leave you questioning the status quo and considering the ethical ramifications of a profit-over-people approach.
Wrapping up our enlightening dialogue, we reflect upon the complex relationship between weight, health, and societal attitudes. We share haunting stories like that of Ellen Maud Bennett, illustrating the fatal consequences of medical neglect due to weight stigma. The mental health ramifications of new medical interventions are also in the spotlight, as we emphasize the importance of comprehensive education for healthcare professionals.
Join us for this deep dive into weight stigma and our collective journey toward fat liberation and equitable healthcare.

Embark on a transformative journey with Sabrina and Michelle Russell, a dietitian and nutrition therapist, as we challenge the conventional wisdom of meal planning. Shattering the myths of diet culture, we delve into a holistic approach that marries the concept of intuitive eating with the practicalities of organizing meals. Through Michelle's own narrative of overcoming an eating disorder to become a certified specialist, we uncover the compassionate path towards a peaceful relationship with food, and we emerge with a roadmap for meal planning that celebrates food freedom amidst our hectic lives.
In our latest episode, we tackle the misconception that intuitive eating and structured meal planning are at odds. Instead, we outline strategies to craft flexible meal plans that honor our body's hunger cues while providing a framework to alleviate stress and reduce waste. We share practical tips and resources, such as the Work Week Lunch program and Budget Bytes, that align with eating competence principles. Our conversation illuminates how a list of ingredients on hand can revive forgotten meals like a simple tuna salad and keep culinary creativity alive without the overwhelm.
As we wrap up, we address the modern conundrum of juggling home-cooked meals with the allure of dining out and the convenience of food delivery services. Our guest, Michelle, offers her expertise on how to navigate these choices in a way that suits our fast-paced world.

Unlock the secrets to a clutter-free life with psychotherapist Margo Nelson's transformative strategies for tidying your space and mind. Our enlightening chat with Margo from Courage Counseling takes you through a journey of self-discovery, challenging you to scrutinize your belongings with a critical eye. She guides you through asking the tough questions: Is this item worth moving with? Could I easily replace it? Our discussion goes beyond the physical, delving into the emotional baggage that accompanies our possessions. Learn why releasing items you're not using can actually be a cathartic release, freeing you from the weight of unnecessary clutter.
The heart-tugging dilemma of letting go of sentimental items is demystified as we navigate through the ocean of emotions tied to gifts from departed loved ones. Margo and I dissect the poignant moment a gift achieves its purpose—at the time of receipt—and how liberating it is to part with objects that no longer serve us. As we shed light on the impact of our culture's gift-giving habits, we also extend a compassionate hand towards understanding hoarding disorder, correcting misconceptions with empathy. Whether you're struggling with clutter, know someone who is, or are just looking to tidy up your life, this episode is packed with compassionate insight and practical advice.

When your living space starts resembling a storage unit for sentimental mementos, it might be time to explore the emotional ties that bind us to our belongings. That's exactly what we venture into with the compassionate guidance of Margo Nelson, a psychotherapist with a wealth of knowledge on hoarding disorder. Margo eloquently discusses how hoarding is often misconstrued, when in fact it's deeply rooted in emotional attachments to past memories and future anxieties, leading individuals to find comfort in their possessions.
Navigating the maze of hoarding behavior requires more than a simple tidying up. It's about understanding the person behind the possessions and fostering a supportive environment that's free from judgment. In our conversation, we uncover the creative minds of those who hoard and brainstorm alternative strategies that honor their relationship with their things while promoting a healthier lifestyle. The recent pandemic has brought to light the fragile line between necessity and excess, making this dialogue more relevant than ever.
As we wrap up, we touch upon the practicalities of living comfortably amidst the chaos, sharing strategies like the 'shoe box' method to help listeners find their ground between sentiment and functionality. Margo's insights are invaluable, not only for those grappling with hoarding tendencies but also for anyone trying to find that delicate equilibrium in life. Stay tuned for our next installment, where we'll be sharing hands-on decluttering tips that promise to bring order to the overwhelming storm of possessions.
