In 2017, Robbie Tripp posted about his "curvy wife" Sarah, inspiring months of discourse and a permanent internet turn of phrase. This week, Jamie revisits the saga and speaks to Curvy Wife Guy himself ahead of the release of his new single, which is obviously called "Hot Wife." How did a couple build a 'desert empire' on a controversial post, and what does that say about the internet economy? Tune in next week for part two, where Jamie takes a closer look at how this story resonated with women and fat activists -- featuring interviews with journalist Rebecca Jennings, Tigress Osborn of NAAFA (the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance), and Cate Navarrete of the Body Positivity Alliance.

What comes to mind when you think of “metabolic disease”? It seems as though terms like “metabolic disease” and “metabolic health” are everywhere in social media. Are we talking diabetes? Thyroid dysfunction? Is this just a new way to package and market the diet/weight loss industry? Is it all about the number on the scale??Today we will dive into a few facets of metabolic health, and we will focus specifically on “prediabetes”. According to the CDC:Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Approximately 96 million American adults—more than 1 in 3—have prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, more than 80% don't know they have it. Prediabetes puts you at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.How can we know if we are at risk for prediabetes? Is it all genetic? Are there things we can control to reduce our risk? Are there system-based changes that can be made in the American healthcare system that can help folks improve their risk of developing metabolic disease on a large, population-based scale?Thankfully, we have our friend and renowned expert in the field of Endocrinology to help us understand more! Welcome, Greg Dodell, MD, FACE!Dr. Dodell is a board-certified Endocrinologist. He received his medical degree from Albany Medical College. He completed his internal medicine and endocrinology Fellowship at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, affiliated with Columbia University. He is in private practice at Central Park Endocrinology, PC. He also is active on social media ( Everything_Endocrine on IG), where he posts wonderfully helpful information about metabolic health. He supports weight-neutral healthcare, combats toxic diet culture, and is active in campaigning for legislation to end size discrimination. His testimony in February of this year at NYC City Hall helped pass a bill banning body size discrimination in the workplace, and added weight and height as protected classes under NYCs Human Rights Law!Dr. Dodell and Your Doctor Friends recommend the following resources to learn more about prediabetes and metabolic disease:The American Academy of Clinical Endocrinology website.

Size matters, right? In our formative years, we likely heard (directly and indirectly) from the media, in advertising, from teachers and leaders, from doctors, and likely our parents and our peers that the size and shape of our body matters. It matters socially, and it matters for our health. That's the truth, right??So how can I know if my body is the “correct” size? The American medical industry began to use BMI, or body mass index, more consistently in the 1980s, and curiously changed the cutoffs of what was considered “normal” abruptly in 1998. Overnight, this action changed about 25 million Americans from a category of “normal” to overweight. So what's the science behind it? Where did this measurement come from? Why should we care about it? Is it helpful to put our bodies in “categories”? Do these categorizations actually help us understand and ultimately prevent disease? Are there other ways of assessing our health that could be more reliable and beneficial?Thankfully, meaningful research exists to provide helpful data on how to navigate these questions. AND BOY, DO WE HAVE THE EXPERT FOR IT! Ragen Chastain is a speaker, writer, researcher, Board Certified Patient Advocate, multi-certified health and fitness professional, and thought leader in weight science, weight stigma, and healthcare. Utilizing her background in research methods and statistics, Ragen has brought her signature mix of humor and hard facts to healthcare, corporate, conference, and college audiences.WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER WITH US!Topics in this episode include:Where did the BMI calculation come from?What about kids? How are kids BMIs measured?Why did BMI cutoffs abruptly change in 1998?How can the BMI cutoffs create situations where people can be vulnerable to discrimination?What is the "success rate" (according to research) for attempting intentional weight loss?What is "weight cycling"? How is it harmful?Other than body shape/size/fat percentage - what other measures of health have been studied that are good (maybe better) predictors of disease risk?What is the new “clarifying” policy the AMA adopted recently to address the role of BMI in medicine?Ragen has a Substack titled "Weight and Healthcare".

Health research related to weight and the idea of obesity is a frequent topic in the news. Just recently, we've been hearing about the diabetes medication Ozempic being used for weight loss and that the American Academy of Pediatrics revised their guidelines for treating children diagnosed with obesity to include weight loss medications and potentially surgery starting at age 13. Obesity and weight loss research is a complex and sometimes emotionally difficult topic and we wanted to try to look at it from multiple viewpoints to get a fuller picture of the research being done and how it's shaping healthcare. So, for this show, we talked to a recent graduate from the Master's of Public Health program about her experiences in fat activism and research in the fat community, and we also spoke to a professor and researcher from the School of Public Health who focuses on weight-related health. The following organizations were mentioned in this show: The Radical Health Alliance, Cake Plus-Size Resale, National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, and the Association for Size Diversity and Health.

Welcome to episode #46 of the Recover with Carly Podcast. This week I sat down with Gregory Dodell, MD - NYC weight neutral endocrinologist & advocate for ending weight discrimination. Let's just take a moment to thank Gregory for the work that he does because we definitely don't see enough medical providers speak out against weight discrimination. Gregory talks about his experience unlearning fatphobic and harmful medical training as he navigates the medical field as a weight neutral physician and endocrinologist. He also shares some of the negative health outcomes that stem from weight discrimination, the importance of weight neutral care, and talked briefly about an exciting bill that was just passed in NYC that makes weight discrimination illegal. To learn more about this bill head to check out the Campaign for Size Freedom and follow the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance , The Fat Legal Advocacy, Rights, and Education Project, and Dove. Gregory mentioned Ragen Chastain as being a great resource for education and knowledge on weight discrimination as well as a Google Doc that was created to help individuals find weight neutral providers and specialist in their state. You can follow Gregory on Instagram and check out his website for more ways to support and keep up to date on the work that Gregory is doing.

Episode Notes This is a training that we did on zoom which resulted in an edited version released on Pride Connection. Pride Connection airs on ACB media 1 on Tuesday night at 10 PM Eastern and will be available on all major podcast catchers shortly after. We discussed fat liberation, myth busting, history and why these things are important to the LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities. Goals that were covered are: Understand fat liberation as a movement (different than body positivity, self-love, body-neutrality etc.) Reshape assumptions about fatness (myth busters) Draw connections between fat liberation and other movements (intersectional approach for solidarity) - LGBTQ and disability justice movements. Understand that fat oppression is part of Black genocide (Da'Shaun's thesis) and that anti-Blackness is part of fat oppression. Find ways to apply our conversation to daily work e.g. photos of folks of all sizes on our movement's websites. Beyond our daily work, how does diet culture and weight stigma show up in relationships with each other? Here is a list of the resources mentioned in the Fat Lib 101 training: Fat Rose organizes fat radicals to embed fat politics on the left, contributing to building an intersectional fat liberation movement. We do this by developing and promoting radical and intersectional fat-centered political analysis, and offering incubation spaces for radical fat activists, thinkers, artists, and organizers to dream big about how to bring fat politics into social movements.  Website: https://fatrose.org/ Contact: fatrose@fatrose.org  Fat Mutual Aid: Promoting fat mutual aid rooted in intersectional fat liberation + solidarity.

Fat Liberation Artwork designed by: @studiobatslangelyHappy Fat Liberation month.  Be sure to check out the artwork that Bats Langley created for NAAFA.org.  It's ahhhmazing! You can see it on the NAAFA.org page, btw.I hope you will sign up for our newsletter on our website:  www.BigSexyChat.com - we send out about 2 newsletters each month. Plus, we have a BRAND NEW sponsor (our first sponsor) and we are SO excited. More info soon!Fat Liberation Month August 2022Welcome my co-host, Merf. Our fab correspondent Sydney and the always fantastic, Tigress Osborn is our guest. (Tigress is the chair of NAAFA.org - The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.)  Minute 1:39 Merf's reply to the question “What does Fat Liberation Mean to You?” Merf mentioned that she is grateful for the diversity, it has improved her worldview, and opened her mind to beauty and culture that she may not have been exposed to her without the Fat Liberation Movement. Merf feels like the Fat Acceptance Movement has improved her mental health, physical health, and her entire life.  She struggled as a child and young adult to like her body. But, Fat Acceptance has helped her a lot. Minute: 3:30 Sydney tells us that she lived in a slim body for much of her childhood and as a young adult and then things changed after she had her partial hysterectomy.  But, Sydney had a Mom that was fat and VERY liberated.  Sydney was surrounded by liberated, beautiful, fat women as she grew up. So fat liberation for me now is more about making sure that I carry on one, the legacy of the women that brought me up, and two, that I make sure that that translates and, and pushes through for all of the other fat bodies that are, uh, feeling marginalized. Cause I refuse to carry this on forever. There's no need for any of us to feel marginalized in our bodies because of our bodies.Minute: 5:15  Chrystal (me) mentions the book "Fat Girls in Black Bodies" by Dr. Joy Cox. We highly recommend it!Minute: 6:30  Tigress begins to tell us about NAAFA.org. Tigress is the National Chair for the NAAFA.org and spends her days (and nights) educating and promoting Fat Liberation. Tigress has a goal to help NAAFA.org to become more intersectional going forward.Minute: 9:09 Fat Underground / Fat Liberation Manifesto (linked)  And, NAAFA.ORG has some of the histories of the Fat Liberation Movement here. Tigress discusses equity and equality. She mentions that she (we) needs MORE space sometimes or a larger chair and other accommodations and that should be considered equitable. (Not equality.) Minute 16: Chrystal (me) mentions that fat babes should NEVER take on "guilt" because airlines or restaurants are greedy and they are the ones who cram way too many seats into an airplane. That is about capitalism and NOT our bodies. The FAA is accepting comments about the airplane seats. Add your opinion.https://www.faa.gov/seat-size-commentsFat Liberation Movement is about dismantling systemic issues around fat bodies. Sydney recommends that we all CELEBRATE our bodies more help us as she feels that they do not care about our traumas. Tigress suggests that the more NAAFA.org does outreach to other organizations to let them know that "anti-fatness is racism."Minute 26:45 Chrystal discusses the Good Fatty/Bad Fatty issue I had to work through. I also admit that I believed a misconception that fat Black women got a pass as fat humans. Support the show

Bonus Episode: Merf interviews Tigress and me about our 2 Fat HysterectomiesBonus Episode: Heavy Duty HysterectomiesWelcome Tigress OsbornCreator of Full Figure Entertainment in Oakland, CA  Tigress now lives in Arizona.Fat Visibility and Fat Activism since 2008: If you are a fat person and enjoy some type of fat freedom fatties did not have before 2008, it's likely Tigress had her hand in it. (Along with a lot of other fabulous, loud, no shit style fat activists. Thank you Tigress and to the other 60 years worth of activists that have all been working hard for all of us.Content Warning:  Numbers mentioned. There is lots of discussion of blood and clots, because, well. It comes with the territory. This is not a SEXY episode, but we feel like it's an important story to tell. We are two fat women in our 40's (TO) and 50's (CB)We try our best to NOT use gendered language while discussing uteruses and hysterectomies. We are being mindful of our non-binary friends, two-spirit listeners, and trans friends. But, we do slip up or if you notice we slip up, please accept our apologies. (CB and Merf)4:27 Merf defines and describes the various types of hysterectomies. (CB :  I had a radical style which meant everything was removed, including my cervix.) I had 2 days to decide if I wanted mine. Tigress has a longer experience of dealing with her medical problems around getting her Hysterectomy.Myths and Misconceptions about Hysterectomies. Some of the things we grow up hearing about women who have hysterectomies - we dry up, our vaginas are no longer “good” or useful.Tigress brings up the tender feeling around going to the “women's health” departments where there are lots and lots pics of babies and moms and like everything to do with women's reproductive issues are such a fun, good time! NOT. And, not for everyone. Including, sometimes, not for Tigress. Having a hysterectomy gives you a lot to examine - and one of the big ones is that you never have the opportunity to have your own children. 7 minutes Tigress goes into her hysterectomy story. She started having a cycle at 11. (The same week she went to the “special talk” in grade school - Free To Be You And Me.) 10 minutes in we discuss some pretty gory stuff around all of the blood clots we have all dealt with. Clots that remind us of animal organs and aliens running down our legs.  Perimenopause is 10 years LONG and maybe a little less and maybe a little more. Tigress had some fibroids, an ablation, adhesions, PCOS, and possibly endometriosis. Same with Merf. Merf is currently dealing with PCOS, endo, and really want to have a hysterectomy, but is getting push back from her drs.RESOURCES:  Tigress and I both got a lot of support from Caring for our Fat Bodies on Facebook.  Fat Positive / Queer Positive Peri/Menopause on FB was also super helpful for both of us. Well moderated groups with lots of great information.  Adult Diapers I mention that fit my size 30 butt/hips/tummy. Amazon store called Solimo Store. They fit great and are extra comfy. No tightness around my thighs. Chrystal's surgery was done with the da Vinci robot, which has a great track record for working with fat babes, apparently. Tigress is the Chair of NAAFA.org  National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. If you can give, here is their link for a donation.

The Tommy and Adam Hard to Name Podcast Episode #13 Season #3: On this episode the guys talk about toilets, pay their respects to Gilbert Gottfried. The podcast starts with discussions about National Picnic Day, LSD History and how numbers on sports uniforms originated. As broke as they are they looked at KIϟϟ items listed on an auction website. Everything is ok until they get to British Steel, then Tommy gets too excited and screws up worse the podcast. They get blowed away by R.E.O.'s Roll With the Changes and this episode's What the Frijoles too, with things people jam up their rear ends. The guys also explore and expand on a little-known group that champions fat causes, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. It's all on the internet and to the embarrassment of their loved ones, they invite you to download/stream this episode on your favorite DSPs.

These funny, sharp TV shows written by women knock fat- and mental illness shaming on its behind, and tell stories of hard-won self-acceptance instead. It's about embracing our deepest desires and the person we are, not who They say we should be. It's about romancing yourself. CW: mentions of body shaming, anti-fat bias, mental illness, and briefly, abortion, weight loss and suicide ideation.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comI paraphrased the gorgeous Mary Oliver poem, The Summer Day.The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance fights the discrimination that one third of the world experiences on a daily basis.TV ShowsShrill is one of the most joyous TV shows about anti-fat bias and body acceptance that I've ever seen. It's fun but also smart and thoughtful, and much of that is due to the charming performance of Aidy Bryant as Annie. The show is produced by Elizabeth Banks and Lorne Michaels, so funny rules, but always with that trademark light touch and satirical bite.How do I count the many ways I love This Way Up? From its overall tone to the hilarious writing and often poignant performance of Aisling Bea as Aine, just trying to recover from a nervous breakdown while keeping her sense of humor intact, it's such a funny but insightful journey down the messy road to self acceptance.Dietland pulls zero punches in its depiction of fat shaming and the difficulty in accepting yourself in a critical, mean and often abusive male-dominated world. Their solution might not be the most realistic, but it's certainly satisfying.The Bold Type is a glossy modern take on holding onto your self-esteem and self-worth while operating within the Global Female Dissatisfaction Industrial Complex.BooksIn the acerbically funny memoir Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman sticking up for yourself means amusing yourself at the same time. Lindy West covers how to keep your sanity while "coming of age in a culture that demands women be as small, quiet, and compliant as possible -- like a porcelain dove that will also have sex with you."Dietland is a crazy ride, a feminist subversive fantasy that "guarantees you won't look at a pair of stilettos or a bathroom scale the same way again."Muffin Top by Avery Flynn is one of the sexiest, most fat-positive romances I've ever read. Marie Lipscomb's Vixens Rock series features gorgeous curvy heroines and big, burly (and hot) heroes.

This week Jenna and Danika reflect on the ways in which the pandemic and bachelor franchise and Zoom has altered everyone's existence. Spoiler: it's fucked But we also break down the end of Matt James' journey to find a girlfriend and our feelings about the heavy After The Final Rose airing.  Stay tuned at the end for listener voicemails from Niecey and Gati!

The event will include a panel discussion with state legislators, Senator Scott Wiener, Assembly member David Chiu and Assembly member Phil Ting on the challenges that seniors and people with disabilities face when seeking affordable long term care and the caregivers who provide these essential services. Food, childcare, Spanish interpretation and other accommodations will be provided. Be sure to fill out the RSVP.

En 2030, 9 millón Californianos serán mayores de 65 años. Eso es 3 millón más de lo que hay hoy. Este crecimiento sin precedentes en la población de adultos mayores está impulsando una demanda vertiginosa de servicios y apoyos a largo plazo (LTSS). Sin embargo, vemos más y más evidencia de que pagar por estos servicios está llevando a la bancarrota a las personas mayores y a sus familias de clase media en todo el estado. Únase a nosotros para una discusión con legisladores del estado de CA sobre los desafíos que enfrentan las personas mayores y las personas con discapacidades que buscan cuidado a largo plazo asequible y los asistentes personales que brindan estos servicios esenciales. Se proporcionará comida, cuidado de niños, interpretación en español y otros alojamientos. Asegúrese de completar el forma para RSVP.
