Hello friends! I am so excited to share this week's episode with you. I interviewed the amazing Diana Dimmock, founder of Accessibility 4 Every Body, who I found in a Facebook group when I asked if anyone would be willing to share their stories of experiencing anti-fat bias or weight discrimination in healthcare. Diana wasn't only willing, she was so articulate and had so many important points to make and such a strength for advocacy, that I knew I had to have her on the podcast right away. Diana shares personal experiences and also advice on how to advocate for yourself when navigating daily life.Diana is a consultant who works with people with disabilities and people who live in larger bodies to assist them in learning to advocate for themselves with businesses, governmental agencies, and public spaces. Diana says she takes her life experience as a fat person and her own honed ability to advocate for herself and applies that to other people. We share stories about times when we've come up against fat bias or weight discrimination. Diana also shares how advocacy can affect change by relating a story about a business that changed everything to accommodate bigger bodies due to a comment she made. One very important aspect of what we discussed was how to learn to advocate for ourselves, even when it's hard, even when we're afraid of being shamed. Diana shared a list of how to prepare and assess your readiness for advocacy, and things to evaluate: 1. Awareness, 2. Get curious, 3. Look at the best options, 4. Capacity, and 5. Follow up. Our conversation is vulnerable but hopeful, full of lived experience and a determination not to be silenced on what we need. Perhaps Diana said it best when she said “Our bodies are not a problem to be fixed.”__About Diana Dimmock:Diana Dimmock is the founder of Accessibility 4 Every Body, a consulting service dedicated to educating and advocating for individuals with disabilities as well as promoting inclusivity for people of all body sizes. Accessibility 4 Every Body provides educational resources that raise public awareness and empower individuals to effectively articulate their concerns regarding the inclusion of larger bodies within businesses and regulatory agencies.__Resources discussed in this episode:Bare Affair Waxing in Sherwood Park, Alberta__Learn more about Diana Dimmock:LinkedIn: Diana DFacebook: Accessibility 4 Every BodyLearn more about Dr. Michelle Tubman and Wayza Health:Website: www.wayzahealth.comFollow me on Facebook and InstagramEmail Michelle: michelle@wayzahealth.com

On today's episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren rave over Nicola Coughlan's recent reply to a reporter about her so-called bravery with baring her body on screen. She said “It is hard 'cause I think women with my body type, women with perfect breasts—we do not see ourselves onscreen enough.” Go off, Nicola!! This leads into a conversation about the need for more body diversity in TV and Film. Lauren tells us about her foray into TV Writing where she was trying to do just that with her original pilot “Fat With Standards.” Is “fat funny best friend” the best plus size actors can hope for amongst the other choices of villain, parent, grandparent, creep, joke or sad person on diet? We don't think so! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Love fat shaming, coffee enemas, and jade vagina eggs?This episode is not for you!Michael Ulloa and Kate Lyman are personal trainers, nutrition coaches, and hosts of the podcast How To: Fitness. They're on a mission to debunk and throw red flags at all the bullshit you see from *wellness influencers* and other toxic entities in the fitness world.We talk about aesthetic-based fitness with unattainable marketing like fat burning and zone toning and even FUPA (you know, that totally natural lower belly fat that protects your internal organs)-focused workouts.Michael and Kate toe the line of setting fitness goals in a way that's not extreme in one way or another; they take a straight-forward, easy approach that's unique to every client.That takes us to what feels like a cop-out answer: fitness professionals just trying to do our best have to say over and over, “It depends.”.Is it healthy to drink smoothie? Well it depends. Is it okay to eat a cookie? Well, it depends. Every question is so relative to an individuals relationship to food and there personal goals, so it really depends and needs education. That's why you should never trust an influencer touting NEVER and ALWAYS. It's extreme and unsustainable.Speaking of unsustainable… Michael and Kate touch on barrier-based fitness moguls like Goop; spouting expensive, useless and usually dangerous fitness products.Like many things in life, there is no absolute. Health and fitness is a spectrum, and its about behaviors, not a quick fix goal.To find your safe place on the spectrum and stay away from dangerous trends, you can curate your social media feeds with body diversity and positive voices in the industry like myself, Michael, and Kate. What's Inside:Barrier based health and fitness…it's all a bunch of goop.Should you hire a trainer with abs?Tips for curating positive fitness info on social media.Aesthetic based goals…okay or not?When I scroll through my social media and see these insane claims and advertisements from my health and wellness colleagues, I feel like, woah, I live in a sketchy part of town?

In this Power Replay episode, I break down the critical distinction between having a weight loss goal and the perceived need to fit perfectly into society's mold of what a woman's body 'should' look like, which has caused suffering for generations of women.

By untangling these goals, your efforts will become more effective, and you'll suffer way less—it's a win-win! Listen Now xo, Brenda PS: It's our Podcast Review Bonanza this June!

CONTENT HEADS UP: This episode contains (among other things) a deep, frank conversation about life, death, Catholicism, the cosmos, reverential dissection, body phenomena, including orgasm, service, enlightenment, circumcision, some swear words, a lot of humor, and of course, some challenges and gifts of being bodies.And in case it's not clear, Gil dissects, with dedication, “donor forms” - no longer inhabited bodies gladly donated by their prior inhabitants - to illuminate the wonders of the human body so that we might all live ours more fully. SYNOPSIS: In this episode, Ali talks with Gil Hedley, educator and the producer of the Integral Anatomy series, who offers a expert perspective on the human body from the inside out. With a background in Theological Ethics and decades of dedication dissecting donated human bodies, Gil views the body as an archaeological site, exploring the layers of the human form and what they reflect about the near-infinite complexity of human existence. This episode delves into, as Gil calls it, a “re-branding of the human body” - giving us life-enhancing “re-conceptions” of the heart and body phenomena (fat, the foreskin, blood, orgasm) we have taken for granted and/or completely misunderstood. This conversation also explores the harmful effects of body fragmentation, and the interconnectedness of spirit and matter. Viewing the body through Gil's extraordinary professional, and personal, perspective gives us a window into our inner-universe and beyond to our cosmic identity. After listening, your experience of being a body will never be the same! A warning: the episode includes frank and loving discussions of death and human dissection.EXPLORATION POINTS:-Ali and Gil dive into intricate topics related to the human body and consciousness, challenging conventional views of the body and exploring the existential complexity of human anatomy.-Gil shares his unique journey from considering priesthood to becoming a different kind of "priest" on a mission to rebrand the human body as a gift. This conversation critiques dualism, discusses integral anatomy, and emphasizes the need to shift away from body as a problem.-Gil reconceptualizes anatomy, challenging mechanistic views of the body specifically by exploring: 1) how the heart is not a pump, 2) how fat is intelligent, and 3) how the foreskin is precious.-Gil and Ali challenge cultural aesthetics, explore what “somanaut” means, and share personal stories and challenges related to embodiment with a lot of humor. TO VIEW ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/99A3uNDtLlMTo subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE GIL HEDLEY:BIO: Gil has been teaching integral anatomy in the dissection laboratory, via keynotes and speaking tours, and online via his extensive website and subscription portal, www.gilhedley.com, and YouTube channel, "Somanaut," since 1995.

Content Heads Up: This episode contains, among other things, a deep, frank conversation about the mind-body divide, neurodivergence, giftedness, perfectionism, sameness and diversity, roller derby, some swear words, a lot of humor, and of course, some challenges and gifts of being bodies.SYNOPSIS: Ali and Rachel engage in a profound conversation, embarking on a journey to explore the Cartesian Divide and the enduring influence of philosopher, René Descartes, who famously proclaimed "I think, therefore I am." They delve into how this notion has influenced the modern perception of self, often overemphasizing the thinking mind while neglecting the intelligence inherent in the body. They discuss the importance of broadening our understanding of intelligence to encompass the body's brilliance. This leads to a discussion of diverse processing styles among individuals, with Rachel's non-verbal thinking style serving as an example. The conversation underscores the significance of acknowledging these variations, seen and unseen, and respecting them as a basis for a healthier world. Rachel's personal journey, from her roller derby experiences to her current understanding of intelligence, serves as a testament to the importance of holistic self-concept. As with self-concept and the body, Rachel also illuminates how branding “the body” of a company is a dynamic process rather than a static entity. Rachel shares insights into viewing organizations as living systems, in constant evolution and interconnectedness. The discussion also emphasizes the crucial choice of shifting from an "or" perspective to an "and" perspective, highlighting the importance of inclusivity. Rachel gives us an insightful, and very much needed perspective on “how to how” for a better world.EXPLORATION POINTS:-Ali and Rachel dissect the influence of Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" on the modern perception of self, challenging the overemphasis on the thinking mind.-Rachel explains neurodiversity and neurodivergence by emphasizing the uniqueness of individual processing and advocating for a broader understanding that respects diverse processing styles.-They explore the various forms of intelligence that exist within individuals, and that the body is key to recognizing sameness and accepting difference. The conversation underscores the importance of inclusivity in how we relate with ourselves and how we relate with others. -Rachel and Ali dig into the dynamic nature of self-concept and the evolution of organizations as living systems –and bodies themselves. Rachel also emphasizes the complexity of defining the self in professional settings, challenging the notion of compressing one's complete self into a work self and advocating for an expanded and congruent experience. -Ultimately, this episode explores the multifaceted nature of intelligence and the need to accept (and celebrate!) diversity in all its forms… we bridge divides. TO VIEW ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/mSEOogJYaEUTo subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE RACHEL FELL:BIO: Rachel Fell is an independent coach, consultant, and educator decoding true identity in organizational leadership, strategy, brand, and communications.  Engaging embodied intelligence, she helps her clients find the core and congruent truth of what they have to offer the world.Rachel is a champion of radical inclusion, recognizing and celebrating diversity, both seen and unseen.

The Body: Diversity, Unity, and Love by Amarillo Church of Christ Sermons

This week we're talking all about body diversity! We realized that we use this term frequently, but we've never talked about what it is, why it matters, or how you can start cultivating an appreciation for it. So that's exactly what we're doing in this episode!We had a great conversation, including:What body diversity is (and how bodies are like zucchinis

Leslie Schilling returns for part two of an insightful and thought-provoking conversation. In this episode, Leslie and host Heather Creekmore discuss the challenging promises of diet culture and the importance of accepting and respecting diverse body types. They delve into the factors that influence weight, including medications, illnesses, and surgeries, and debunk the myth that body weight can be changed through willpower alone. The conversation takes a deep dive into the spread of diets like OPTAVIA and Gwen Shamblin's Weigh Down Workshop in churches, and the concerning trend of pastors and community members leading others towards these restrictive eating plans. Leslie reflects on her own journey from placing hope in diets to realizing that Jesus is the only rescue needed. The episode also explores the intersection of faith, health, and accessibility to nutritious food. Leslie highlights the privilege of easy access to grocery stores and acknowledges that not everyone has the same advantages. She challenges the notion that nutrition should be the sole focus of our relationship with God, reminding listeners that social determinants of health, trauma, and medications greatly impact one's well-being. Throughout the conversation, Leslie and Heather touch on various topics including shame, the objectification of women within Christian communities, the impact of purity culture, and the intergenerational transmission of body image issues and eating disorders. They also express excitement about Leslie's new book which tackles these issues in an unprecedented way and delves into the infiltration of diet culture in safe spaces like schools. Listeners are encouraged to question external controls and seek inner wisdom, as well as to challenge the messages of diet culture that pervade churches and places of worship. need for safe spaces that promote body acceptance and eliminate harmful messaging tied to worthiness. Ultimately, this conversation serves as a call to remove the lens of diet culture from our interpretation of biblical teachings and to prioritize loving well above arbitrary standards of appearance and perfection.
