Is being fat bad for us, or can we really be “healthy at any size”?

from Sarah Has Questions

We’ve been conditioned to believe “obesity is an epidemic,” but can a person be healthy AND overweight? Are the old standards of obesity and BMI really applicable when human beings come in all shapes and sizes?  Sarah talks with Dr. Tiffany Lowe Clayton, a bariatrician with WakeMed, about body image, obesity, weight loss and the idea that we can be “healthy at any size.” They also dive into weight loss medication (especially the current fad of semaglutides) and how they work.  Send your questions to Sarah at wralfm.com/sarahhasquestions  DISCLAIMER: The information presented in this podcast is intended to be educational and nothing said by the host or guests should be taken as medical advice.
