Episode 1. Molly: Knowledge is Power for Type 2 Diabetes and Eating Disorder Recovery

In this episode we talk to Molly who helps us break down some diabetes myths and science, and explains how anti-fat bias plays into how research is conducted and interpreted. We also talk though her own relationship with diabetes, how it played into the development of her ed, and how she has learned to thrive ("lol mostly!" -Molly) in recovery and life despite the diagnosis.ABOUT US: We are two dietitians who specialize in diabetes care and eating disorders:Kelly Six, MS, RD, CDCES, who really likes working in diabetes care because we get to have one foot in the nerdy side of diabetes and the other foot in the emotional side of living in the world with diabetes.Erin Phillips, MPH, RD, CDCES, who really agrees with Kelly and couldn't have said it better herself. We both love cats, snacks, and laughing too loud in Seattle coffee shops.Learn more about us and the podcast here!STUFF WE MENTIONED ON THE EPISODE: Find Molly on Instagram: @drmollyinprogressDr. Gregory Dodell, a size-inclusive endocrinologist in NYC: https://www.centralparkendocrinology.com/ (and on IG @everything_endocrine)Articles about the "social contagion of o**sity" (HUUUGE content warnings for weight stigmatizing language). https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmsa066082#article_letters https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2007/07/obesity-is-contagious/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/25/health/25cnd-fat.htmlLINKS:Apply to be on the podcast!
