This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing!I've written before about weight stigma in healthcare practice, and I'm currently co-authoring a study with Dr. Lesleigh Owen about the harm weight stigma does to the highest-weight patients. Today I'm going to dig into the research that already exists that explores the harm done to fat* patients by weight stigma.As we get into the research, a few reminders:First, weight stigma is rooted in and inextricable from racism and anti-Blackness, and continues to do disproportionate harm to those communities today. I urge you to read Sabrina Strings' Fearing the Black Body – the Racial Origins of Fat Phobia and Da'Shaun Harrison's Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness to understand more about this.Second, typically research over-represents privileged people and under-represents (or fails to represent at all) marginalized people, and thus the harm done to them is also under- or un-represented.Third, I wrote here about how weight stigma research is often still rooted in anti-fatness. I recommend reading this to contextualize a lot of the research and researchers I will talk about here.Many of the studies that will be discussed in this article look at perceived weight bias/weight status. In this way, weight stigma can harm people of many different sizes, so just a reminder that weight stigma, in particular structural weight stigma, always does the most harm to those at the highest weights and/or those with multiple marginalized identities.I also want to point out how often the things that are correlated with both weight stigma and body size are blamed on body size itself without any discussion of weight stigma as a strongly researched possible confounding variable (this is also common with weight cycling and healthcare inequalities.)In this piece I'll be looking at studies that show harm to physical and/or mental health, including iatrogenic harm, which means harm that is done by the healthcare system/healthcare practitioners. Weight stigma does much, much more harm in all aspects of the lives of higher-weight people that won't be examined here. Also, this provides brief overviews of the studies included and is far from an exhaustive list. Please feel free to add other examples in the comments.Finally, just a reminder that my policy is that when I refer to studies that perpetuate anti-fatness and harm, I will provide enough information to Google them, but I won't link to them directly. Last last thing before we dig in: studies refer to this variously as weight stigma, weight bias, sizeism, and other less common (sometimes more stigmatizing!) terms, I'm combining those for the purpose of this article.Content note: This section will discuss physical and psychological harm that can result from weight stigma, including bias and self-harm, and may be harmful/triggering to higher-weight people, so please take care of yourselfI think therefore I am: Perceived ideal weight as a determinant of health, Muennig et al., 2008This study looked at whether stress related to negative body image perception and the desire to lose weight could impact health, and found that the difference between actual and desired body weight was a stronger predictor of physical and mental health than actual body mass index (BMI) in cis women. “[cis] Women who say they feel they are too heavy suffer more mental and physical illness than women who say they feel fine about their size - no matter what they weigh.”The body politic: the relationship between stigma and ob*sity-associated disease, Muenniug, 2008This work examines the relationship between weight stigma and health issues, and finds that weight stigma may drive health issues that are typically blamed on body size.“Stigma and prejudice are intensely stressful. Over time, such chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure and diabetes.”The Weight of Stigma: Cortisol reactivity to manipulated weight stigma, Himmelstein et. al:Young women who were told in an experiment that their weights “weren't ideal” experienced higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, regardless of their actual size.“Experiencing weight stigma was stressful for participants who perceived themselves as heavy, regardless of their BMI. These results are important because stress and cortisol are linked to deleterious health outcomes...”Associations between perceived weight discrimination and the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in the general population, Hatzenbuehler, 2009* Perceived weight discrimination is associated with substantial psychiatric morbidity and comorbidity.* The results remained significant after adjusting for perceived stress (a possible confounding variable)* Social support did not buffer against the adverse effects of perceived weight discrimination on mental health.* Controlling for BMI did not diminish the associations, indicating that perceived weight discrimination is potentially harmful to mental health regardless of weight.They concluded that “These results highlight the urgent need for a multifaceted approach to address this important public health issue, including interventions to assist [higher-weight] individuals in coping with the mental health sequelae of perceived weight discrimination.”Weight stigma as a risk factor for suicidality, Brochu, 2020This study examined the connection between subjective perceptions of “overw*ight” and risks of suicidality and found that they were “associated with increased risk of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempt in a large sample of US adolescents, even when controlling for participant age, gender, race/ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and depression.”I think that this is part of the serious danger of the new AAP guidelines which call for an intense focus on the weight of children, starting to label them as “overw*ght” and “ob*se” as young as two years old.Weight Discrimination and Risk of Mortality, Sutin et al, 2015The study found that* Perceived weight discrimination was associated with an increase in mortality risk of nearly 60%* This increased risk was not accounted for by common physical and psychological risk factors* In addition to its association with poor health outcomes, weight discrimination may shorten life expectancyWeight stigma and health behaviors: evidence from the Eating in America Study, Lee et al., 2021This study points out that “weight stigma is pervasive across the U.S. and is associated with poor health outcomes including all-cause mortality” and seeks to find if weight stigma drives poorer health behavior. (As a reminder, health is an amorphous concept and is not an obligation, barometer of worthiness, or entirely within our control.)The study found that weight stigma was significantly associated with greater disordered eating, sleep disturbance, and alcohol use.Overcoming Weight Bias in the Management of Patients With Diabetes and Ob*sity, Puhl, et al., 2016The health impacts of weight stigma can include:* increased blood pressure, blood sugar, and levels of the stress hormone cortisol* reduced engagement with health care services, reduced trust of health care providers* depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicidal tendency* unhealthy eating behaviors, binge eating disorder, and lower motivation for exercise* long-term health impacts including more advanced and poorly controlled chronic disease, and low health-related quality of lifeI want to point out here, again, how much overlap there is with health issues that get blamed on body size, and that studies that link being higher-weight to health issues typically don't even mention weight stigma, let alone control for it.Weight Stigma Among Healthcare Practitioners that Can Impact CareStigma in Practice: Barriers to Health for Fat Women, Lee and Pausé, 2016https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.02063/fullI recommend reading this in its entirety. Some of the highlights:* Fat individuals are less likely to access healthcare, and are less likely to receive evidence-based and bias-free healthcare when they do engage* Anti-fat attitudes are found in both practitioners and students, from physicians/doctors, researchers, clinicians, physiotherapists, dieticians, and nurses and  students in the medical and dietetic fields* Negative attitudes about fat patients result in doctors choosing to spend less time with fat patients and often resulting in fewer preventive and diagnostic tests for fat patients* Whether due to improper equipment, lack of education, bias, or an interaction between the three, it is clear that providers also present a barrier to the health and well-being of fat individuals.Nurses' Weight Bias in Caring for Ob*se Patients, Tanneberger & Ciupitu-Plath, 2018* Nurses found higher-weight patients lazy, stupid, noncompliant, less healthy, gluttonous* Biases stemmed from belief that weight is under the individual's control and/or that they would require more resourcesImpact on Nurses* Care was given out of disapproval or condemnationImpact on Patients* Canceling or delaying appointments after experiencing negative attitudes, discourteous treatment, and too small equipment being used during careThe Stigma of Ob*sity: A Review and Update, Puhl and Heuer, 2009* Over 50% of doctors found their higher-weight patients awkward, ugly, weak-willed and unlikely to comply with treatment.* 28% of nurses were “repulsed” by higher-weight patients* 12% of nurses said that they did not want to touch higher-weight patientsWeight bias among health care professionals: A systematic review and meta- analysis, Lawrence et al., 2021This is a systematic review and random- effects meta-analysis of 41 studies. It's important to note the overall quality of these studies was very low and the authors point out the need for better-quality research.“Findings show that medical doctors, nurses, dietitians, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, podiatrists, and exercise physiologists hold implicit and/or explicit weight-biased attitudes toward [higher-weight] patients.”I agree with Lawrence et al that we need more and better-quality research. And I think a major aspect of better quality is research that comes from a perspective that affirms the existence of higher-weight people and not from a perspective that is fully invested in the pathologization and eradication of existing fat people and the prevention of any more from existing. Weight stigma research that is invested in the weight-centric paradigm, as so much of the research above is, both displays and perpetuates additional weight stigma. Did you find this post helpful?

I click on lots of clothing ads from companies that make clothing for fat folks. It was no surprise then when one recently came up on my feed as I was scrolling... but when I saw it, I totally lost my cool.   This ad was titled “Things that should not be in the closet of plus-sized women.” It showed fat women wearing different outfits, with their measurements listed, and a commentary on what each woman should and shouldn't wear. You already know this did not sit well with me, and we're getting into it on the show this week.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://notyouraveragerunner.com/289

In the first half, they dig into the longstanding race and gender politics at play within the romance writing community and gatekeeping, why we need more Short Kings and Fat Women in romance, and of course…Fabio. Then they get into the Netflix phenomenon, Bridgerton and talk about the problematic dynamics the show didn't sort out when it “solved” racism, why making Daphne pretty ruined season one for Rachelle, and how season two kinda, sorta, almost cured some of the problems of season one.   In Slate Plus, are corsets feminist?  Recommendations: Marissa: The romance novel book club podcast, Hot and Bothered.  Rachelle: Season one of Netflix's Virgin River.    Further Reading: Dangerous Books for Girls by Maya Rodale “Inside the List” by Gregory Cowels  “How Bridgerton Touches on Colonialism in India” by Desiree Ibekwe “The Biggest Changes Between Bridgerton Season 2, and The Steamy, Ridiculous Book It's Based On” by Marissa Martinelli  “Under the Covers” by Anne Wallentine  “One Romance Novelist's Fight for Diverse Love Stories” by Rachelle Hampton  Podcast production by Cheyna Roth with editorial oversight by Shannon Palus and June Thomas.  Send your comments and recommendations on what to cover to thewaves@slate.com Learn more about your ad choices.

How to Stay in Your Lane to Support Diversity and Inclusion An interview with Dr. Joy Cox, PhD, on tapping into the strength of community and genuine relationships to understand and address systemic oppression. Curt and Katie talk with Dr. Joy about intersectionality, the harmful stories we can tell ourselves about people who are different from us, and what we can do to best support diversity and inclusion in all the spaces we inhabit. We also address why it is important to do some of this work privately (rather than working it out publicly through statements on social media). It's time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age. Interview with Dr. Joy Cox, PhD Dr. Joy Cox is a body justice advocate using her skill set in research and leadership to foster social change through the promotion of fat acceptance and diversity and inclusion. With 37 years living as a fat, Black cisgendered woman and 7+ years of professional experience under her belt, Dr. Cox draws on her own experiences and skill set to amplify the voices of those most marginalized in society, bringing attention to matters of intersectionality addressing race, body size, accessibility, and “health.” Joy has been featured on several podcasts and media productions such as Food Pysch with Christy Harrison, Nalgona Positivity Pride with Gloria Lucas, Fat Women of Color with Ivy Felicia, and Huffington Post's piece, “Everything You Know About Obesity is Wrong.” She also just authored her first book, Fat Girls in Black Bodies: Creating Communities of Our Own. She is the voice of an overcomer, looking to propel others into a place of freedom designed by their desires. In this episode we talk about: What Dr. Joy is putting out into the world Intersectionality and bias, stigma How to take an intersectional approach The importance of genuine relationships in understanding others Discussing the panel discussion in the conference when addressing learning about others The harm of putting work on individuals with lived experience Why and when you should pay for expert consultation The challenge of googling to learn (when it works and when to seek expert guidance) The importance of saying no when someone is asking you to become a spokesperson The exponential impact of intersectionality of marginalized identities How intersectional identities compound to create narratives Anything that is heavily stigmatized in society – racism is not far behind it Knowledge without learning to implement Why you should find your lane and move accordingly How to identify what you can and should do to support inclusion The importance of identifying where to do the work, it doesn't have to be public Why individuals need to learn themselves, understand their heart, and identify who they are Getting it right is better than getting it fast Having the important conversations and checking in with the people who matter The unreasonable expectation to have an opinion on everything The benefits of community with each person staying in their lane Creating community that includes all people and the strength that provides Pushing back on the idea that everyone has to be able to do all of the roles We need to change how we think and we need to change how we feel to uncover more space than we knew was available for all people Our Generous Sponsors: SimplePractice Running a private practice is rewarding, but it can also be demanding.

Would taking Cortisol Manager or Maca offset my coffee habit? That was the real question from a reader. Do you have a coffee habit? Love it and don’t really want to give it up? Out of control a coffee habit could elevate your cortisol. Cortisol and insulin can combine forces for belly fat deposit. You may not have to kick that habit entirely but here’s how to decide. Caffeine is an ergogenic aid. For that reason caffeinated gels and gu-type supplements (which I don’t recommend) are often used during races to supply not only sugar but give a legal kick of energy. A little caffeine timed right can give you a fat burning boost, and help you exercise harder or longer without it feeling so. Test yourself though, because some feel anxious and jittery instead of having a better workout. And only do that in the morning. If you’re exercising late in the day… I hope it’s not intense then anyway for hormone balance … the caffeine is more likely to disrupt sleep, something you and I don’t need. Can I Do Something I Know Isn’t Good for Me as Long as I Take a Fix for It? Here’s the thing… if you appreciate the world of functional medicine and functional fitness and getting to the root cause of why you’re sick/don’t feel good, or why a movement causes you pain… then you’ll appreciate this. Why do you want or need the coffee in the first place? Before I go too far here, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Cliché yes, but I love my… sometimes coffee more often matcha, too. In fact, I’ll share my two clean triple screened matcha source so you can avoid the mold, and heavy metals found to be significant in most matcha on the shelves… and my mushroom coffee from Foursigmatic plus a 10% off code as a subscriber of Flipping 50. My Coffee Habit And my coffee habit has been known to get out of control. I’m not actually seeking the energy – I’ve got that, but it is such a habit while I’m working the first few hours in the morning that I can easily be reaching for a third mug and not even realize it. But if you are reaching for it because you don’t have energy, you are trying to avoid eating and – in which case if you are fasting you need to be sure it’s black coffee and clear tea, and check to see how it affects your blood sugar levels. Even black coffee if your cortisol is already whacky might increase blood sugar. It certainly could if you’re having more than two cups and having them all morning into afternoon. Regardless, it’s acidic and too much of that isn’t good for your gut. The Question So, should you do something that you know overall is not good for your health, and can you just cancel it out, or erase it by taking Cortisol Manager, or something like Macapause (which I will also link to in the show notes? I recently did a podcast interview with Mona Fahoum about Femminssence’s Maca products for women in midlife. It’s been a lifesaver for me. My energy and morning mojo were back within a week.) Maca is an adaptogen – meaning it is not a hormone but supports natural hormone balance as works with your body on a as-needed basis. Perfect. I’m not opposed to taking bio-identical hormones. But keeping them on a low-dose and allowing my body to do what it can naturally are the way I want to go. What It’s Not I don’t think it’s like a contraceptive though, you know? Or like the morning after pill. If you know you shouldn’t be doing it anyway, figure out why you are doing it. Drinking tons of coffee is not overall good for your health. If you choose safely sourced coffee or matcha some is fine – actually has health benefits. But more is not better. You wouldn’t take two doses of vitamins or of a prescription med on the same day. We used to think of exercise and eating this way too, didn’t we? I can eat donuts or an extra serving of chips because I workout all the time. Or, have the dessert, you can spare the calories. Without including the damage the sugar, chemicals, and wasted calories have done, as we know now this thinking led to a lot of unhealthy active adults. One good habit doesn’t cancel a bad habit the way your daily habits (epigenetics) matter more than genetics. (By the way matcha has caffeine in it too, but there’s are autoimmune benefits and it has a combination of alertness with chill-pill effect that is distinctly different from the anxiousness sometimes experienced from drinking coffee).  A Better Way to Energy than Your Coffee Habit So, let’s get you energy from sources that offer benefits. Drink more water- hydration will keep your coffee habit in check. Exercise regularly – shorter bouts more frequently for energy boosting. Kick those long sessions to the curb. Especially now that a strong immune system is just about the healthiest thing you can do for yourself.

This month's bonus episode is a bit different. I've recorded an audio version for you all of my lecture on fat women in American Film and Television. Fat women in American film and television are historically invisible. When they are present, they appear as villains, funny sidekicks that act as a foil to a pretty main character, or as objects of pity (often played by thin actresses in fat suits). Only recently have self-actualized representations of fatness graced our screens. Even still, they are few and far between. This lecture uses existing fat studies scholarship to categorize representations of fatness in American film and television and examines their sexist and racist messaging.
