What is disease? Our ever-evolving definitions, disease philosophy and using it to protect against social stigma

Disease is something that you and I have a vague idea about - but do we really know what it means and why it’s such a big deal when something is classified as a disease? WELL there was a lot of ✨drama✨ about it in the early 2000s and like health, it’s a concept that is constantly changing. In this episode, I’ll take a brief look at the philosophy of disease but mainly, how we’ve tried to use it to combat social stigma around obesity. Yep - that’s a thing we tried to do!Liked this episode?
