In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we’re diving into workplace health initiatives — the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable.

From step challenges and free gym memberships to “wellness” emails and team fitness competitions… are employers truly trying to support our health? Or are some programs quietly adding pressure, comparison, and unrealistic expectations?

As two people living in bigger bodies, we share our honest experiences with workplace wellness programs — what felt supportive, what felt performative, and what completely missed the mark.

We also talk about:

Do corporate wellness programs actually work?

Are they inclusive of obese employees?

When does “encouragement” turn into pressure?

Should workplaces even be involved in our health?

What real support could actually look like

If you’ve ever felt motivated by a wellness perk — or uncomfortable during a team health challenge — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we dig into a recent NPR article that explores how health conditions like obesity, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses could impact immigration and visa decisions in the U.S.

We break down the broader implications of these policies, talk honestly about what we agree with, what makes us uncomfortable, and where we think the line between public policy and discrimination starts to blur. As people who live in larger bodies, this conversation hits close to home — and raises big questions about fairness, access, and who gets to decide what makes someone “worthy” of entry.

Is this about protecting systems, or excluding people based on health?

Everyone online seems to have a new “health trend” — but are they actually healthy… or just harmful in disguise?

In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we go through BuzzFeed’s list of the most unhealthy health trends of 2025 and give our honest, unfiltered reactions. From viral wellness advice to diet culture rebranded as “self-care,” we break down what made us pause, what made us laugh, and what genuinely concerns us — especially as people living in larger bodies.

We talk about:

Why some “health trends” feel more dangerous than helpful

How diet culture keeps reinventing itself

The pressure to be “healthy” at all costs

What real, sustainable health actually looks like for us

This episode isn’t about shaming — it’s about real talk, lived experience, and calling out nonsense when we see it.

Generic versions of Ozempic are becoming available in Canada, and for many people struggling with obesity, this could be a major shift in how weight loss is accessed — or it could raise new concerns.

In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we break down what generic Ozempic in Canada actually means. We talk about affordability, accessibility, safety, side effects, and whether these medications are being positioned as a realistic weight-loss tool or just another trend.

We also explore the emotional and mental side of weight-loss drugs: hope vs. hype, fear vs. curiosity, and how people living in larger bodies are being impacted by the growing pressure to “medicate” weight loss.

This is an honest, real-life conversation — not medical advice — from people navigating these questions in real time.
