“You Don’t Need to Lose Weight to Cure Your Joint Pain” and Busting Other Health Myths with Dr. Lisa Folden
Our guest today is Dr. Lisa Folden, a pioneering physical therapist and a staunch advocate for weight inclusivity. Dr. Folden is challenging the deeply ingrained fatphobia in our society and debunking the myths surrounding body size and health. With her expertise, she's empowering individuals to embrace their bodies and prioritize their well-being without the constraints of societal bias.
Dr. Folden is not only a licensed physical therapist but also a body image coach. Her work focuses on promoting a holistic approach to health, where physical activity and self-care are accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their size. She has been a vocal critic of the conventional weight-centric health paradigm, and through her practice and advocacy, she is paving the way for a more inclusive and compassionate healthcare system.
