We explore how weight bias harms health, from early childhood to exam rooms, and why care must center respect, context, and evidence over assumptions. Practical steps show how to shift language, policies, and environments for safer, more effective support at any size.
• clear definition of weight bias and stigma
• difference between health promotion and shaming
• early onset in children and gendered patterns
• impact in healthcare and delayed diagnoses
• patient rights around weigh-ins and boundaries
• personal story on thin shaming and celiac disease
• media representation and campus attitudes
• internalized bias, anxiety, and low self-esteem
• weight as a number vs whole-person health
• practical clinic changes and zero-tolerance policies
• implicit bias tests and language shifts
• celebrating non-scale wins and finding safe care
If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it, especially, you know, someone that uh is struggling with that or has said, or you see that they have weight bias, or a friend navigating, you know, their own relationship with food and body image
