Episode 1: It Provokes People When Fat People Want to Be Skinny — My Story & Why I’m Speaking Up

In this first episode of The Weight Medicine Podcast, I share why I started this journey — and why it still provokes people when fat people want to get thin.This isn’t a debate; it’s a conversation about stigma, lived experience, and how GLP-1 medications are reshaping the way we talk about weight and health.I open up about my own story and what led me to create this podcast — from years of trying to manage weight and food noise, to discovering GLP-1 medication and realizing how misunderstood obesity still is.We’ll talk about why wanting to lose weight can feel like a taboo topic, why it triggers such strong reactions, and how compassion and science can finally meet in the middle in this podcast.You’ll also hear what GLP-1s actually are, how they work, and why they’re not an “easy way out,” but a medical treatment that gives people with obesity a fair chance at long-term health.The Weight Medicine Podcast is a stigma-free space where real stories and expert insight come together, because obesity isn’t about willpower, it’s about biology, and it’s time we start treating it that way.Follow to join the conversation — new episodes every week.This podcast shares lived experiences and opinions.
