Alexis Barber of @Wellnesslexis is 21-year-old Black content creator, and she’s decided that both she and you are too smart to diet. Coming from a low income family, her “smarts” unlocked scholarships to go to elite private schools and earn an Ivy League degree. Being “smart” became her identity, and when she couldn’t “master her weight” she turned to dieting. But at age 21, amidst a pandemic, she had had enough, realizing she is enough-- and that she’s actually TOO smart to diet.

In the 4th episode of OUTWEIGH, Lisa + Amy discuss weight stigma, fear foods, and how we can prioritize health without making it all about the weight.The episode kicks off with Abby, who works on the Bobby Bones Show and helped to produce Outweigh. Abby opens up by sharing how much Outweigh resonated with her own struggles- which were unbeknownst to both Lisa and Amy and serves as the perfect reminder that we can’t predict who’s struggling. Lisa breaks down inner and outer wisdom- the core principles behind her modern mindful eating philosophy she teaches in Fork The Noise. 

They’re joined by expert Dr. Joshua Wolrich (@drjoshuawolrich) who explains what weight stigma is and the dangers. Dr. Wolrich challenges the statement “you need to lose weight” and explains how weight stigma negatively impacts patient care. Finally, we hear two personal stories from Kaitlin and Caroline (@carohobby) who open up about how their desire to control their bodies dictated all their decisions, and how they shifted gears to find freedom and happiness.

In the third episode of Outweigh, Lisa and Amy get into how we don’t need to abandon exercise and “healthy” eating after struggling with disordered eating, but we do need to shift our relationship to them. In this episode, you’ll learn the truth about why counting calories doesn’t work, how exercise addiction happens (and how to spot it), and how food freedom for Amy has brought so much joy into her home. We’re joined by trainer Kaitlyn Wozinak (@kaitlindinneh), a fitness instructor that that helps women celebrate their bodies through movement. She shares how we can find motivation without focusing solely on weight loss and you can spot obsessive behavior around exercise.

Alexis shares her story of orthorexia and how her all day cafe has changed as her relationship to food and philosophy evolved.

Amy Brown (Host of 4 Things with Amy Brown) and Lisa Hayim (Registered Dietitian and Founder of The Well Necessities & F*RK THE NOISE) got together to break the stigma and expose the truth about disordered eating in a new 4-part podcast series called OUTWEIGH. They will expose the ‘grey area’ of eating disorders- the subclinical tendencies that many of us partake in, but fail to get help for. Both having overcome their own struggles with disordered eating, they want to make sure no one feels alone in this journey, and that freedom is in fact possible. Throughout the series, they will share personal stories from real people who found freedom after a fight, as well as talk with experts to best guide & navigate this territory. Their goal is start a conversation to instill hope for those who are struggling, and provide space for both those going through it, and those who have overcome it. They are two women who get it and have found power in voicing their struggles. They want you to feel less alone, to help you remove the factor so you can live your most aligned life free of food and body image captivity. *Follow Amy & Lisa on Instagram: @RadioAmy & @TheWellNecessities!!
