Podcasts about fatphobia

What happens when the medical system sees your body as the problem before you even speak? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne shares her recent experience navigating healthcare as a fat, neurodivergent woman—and the toll of being met with medical gaslighting, invalidation, and bias at every turn. From sensory overload in clinical settings to the exhaustion of advocating for basic care, this episode explores the intersection of fatphobia, ableism, and chronic pain in medical spaces. If you've ever felt unseen or blamed in a doctor's office, you're not imagining it—and you're not alone.

Healthism is everywhere—but most of us don't even know it has a name. In this powerful episode of Thrive Beyond Size, Dr. Michelle Tubman unpacks the hidden force that turns health into a moral responsibility and worth into a measurement of discipline. From the praise of weight loss at any cost to the judgment we place on food, movement, and rest, Michelle explores how healthism intersects with fatphobia, ableism, diet culture, and systemic injustice.You'll learn where healthism shows up in everyday life, why it's harmful, and what it looks like to push back—without giving up on yourself or your well-being. This is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim body autonomy, soften perfectionism, and redefine what care really means.In this episode, you'll hear about:What healthism is—how how it subtly shapes our beliefs about food, bodies, and self-worthHow it shows up in medical settings, social media, and daily conversationsWhy the pursuit of “health” can become harmful and shamingThe link between healthism and diet culture, fatphobia, ableism, and traumaWhat it looks like to care for yourself without subscribing to health as a moral mandateHow to reclaim body autonomy and offer yourself compassion instead of judgmentResources & LinksLearn more about Wayza HealthFollow Michelle on Instagram @wayzahealthListen to previous episodes of Thrive Beyond Size here

We're checking in on body image and fatphobia in pop culture in 2025.Because when speculation over which suddenly-slimmed-down celebrity might be using weight-loss drugs like Ozempic begins to feel like an online sport, and social media apps put out stuff like the 'chubby filter' — it makes us wonder — what happened to embracing bodies of all sizes?

In this powerful and eye opening episode, I'm joined by Cat Chappell and Jo Reader - together known as The Fat Counsellors - to talk about fat phobia in therapy and why it's essential for therapists to explore their own internalised biases.We discuss how anti-fat attitudes are embedded in society, how these messages seep into the therapy room, and what it takes to create fat-positive, compassionate spaces for all clients. From myth busting around BMI and health to examining the roots of body based discrimination, this conversation is both personal and deeply informative.Whether you're new to this work or already on the journey, this episode will challenge your thinking and offer practical ways to show up better for your clients - and yourself.TakeawaysHow fat phobia shows up in therapy roomsThe impact of internalised diet culture on therapists and clientsWhy BMI is not a reliable health measureThe historical roots of anti-fat biasUnderstanding thin privilege and body shameCreating truly inclusive spaces for clients of all sizesWhat therapists can do today to start unpacking their own body image beliefs

This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter. If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing!Content note: this piece will discuss research around binge eating, including behaviors and frequency. In part 1, we looked at the authors and methodology of a 2024 study called “Evaluating dietary restriction as a maintaining factor in binge-eating disorder” by Bartholomay et al., whose authors claim that the findings “challenge the assumption that dietary restriction maintains BE [binge eating] among all individuals with BED [Binge Eating Disorder]. Rather, results suggest that dietary restriction may be largely unrelated to BE maintenance in this population, and that reducing dietary restriction generally does not have the intended effect on BE frequency.”Too Long Didn't Read Version:When analyzing research, it's important to check to see if the research that the authors cite to support their claims actually does support their claims. In this case, these authors are drawing large, broad-based conclusions that would support a weight-centric/weight-loss paradigm based on small, short-term, and decades old studies that offer only weak conclusions. They are also completely ignoring the success of a weight-neutral intervention that is included in on of the studies they cite. Let's dig in!When I teach research analysis, I recommend checking something I call “The Do-Do's” which encompasses two questions: Do the citations support the claims? Do the study data support the results?In this part of our three-part analysis, we're going to examine the first question. Regular readers may have noticed me pointing out in my analyses how often the studies that are cited don't support the claims. In the case of this study, the question “do the citations support the claims” is particularly important since they are using them to bolster a very limited experimental design, so I've devoted this section to some examples.Bartholomay et al. claim:“randomized controlled trials conducted among individuals with overw*ight and ob*sity demonstrate that assignment to a low-calorie weight loss diet (e.g., 1200 calories per day) produced greater decreases in binge-eating symptoms than assignment to a wait list control group (Goodrick et al., 1998; Klem et al., 1997; Reeves et al., 2001).”What I want to note here is that the study authors have created a false binary between low calorie weight loss diets and wait list control group which would be bad enough. In this case, they've done so by blatantly ignoring the inclusion of a weight-neutral intervention in the very first study they cited.Let's look at the three studies they cited to, in theory, support this claim:The first study they cite is1998 Nondieting versus dieting treatment for overw*ight binge-eating womenG K Goodrick 1, W S Poston 2nd, K T Kimball, R S Reeves, J P ForeytDOI: 10.1037//0022-006x.66.2.363This study evaluated non dieting vs dieting treatment for what they described as “overw*ight binge-eating women.” There were 219 subjects and they were assigned randomly to diet treatment, non-diet treatment, or wait-list control (which is a form of control group in which participants are told that they were on a wait list for the intervention, while being offered no intervention.)The diet intervention was a restricted diet “reinforced with behavioral strategies” and the non-diet treatment was “therapy designed to help participants break out of their dieting cycles.” It involved 18 months of contact - 6 months of treatment followed by 26 bi-weekly maintenance meetings. They checked in on the subjects 6 months later and 18 months later and at both follow-up points the Binge Eating Scale of both the diet and non-diet group was significantly better than the weight list group and at 18 months both experienced weight gain. They concluded that “Results indicate that neither intervention was successful in producing short- or long-term weight loss.”I would suggest that this means that the weight loss intervention is a failure since its goal was weight loss and binge eating reduction but the non-diet intervention was a success since it's goal was to reduce binge eating disorder. I would also suggest that it may have been more effective if the therapy included more specific techniques to reduce binge eating.What it means for sure is that a higher-weight cis woman (the only group included in the sample and thus the only group we can draw conclusions about) who wants to reduce binge eating without risking the experience of another failed diet (and the physical and psychological risks that can come with it) would be best served by a non-diet approach.Second, they cite:1997 A descriptive study of individuals successful at long-term maintenance of substantial weight lossM L Klem 1, R R Wing, M T McGuire, H M Seagle, J O HillDOI: 10.1093/ajcn/66.2.239The study discusses the ridiculous National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) which I often use as a peak example of the embarrassingly poor methodology that gets passed off as research in the weight-centric paradigm. I've written about it in detail previously but the short story is that they collect commonalities among an incredibly small group of dieters (literally 10,000 out of what is estimated to be over a billion attmpts) and then make unsupportable claims about those commonalities. I am unclear why Bartholomay et al cited this since the only reference to binge eating disorders is two studies that happened to include those who binge that tracked the mean lifetime weight loss of participants in order to compare it to the mean lifetime loss claimed in the NWCR. Not only could I find no claim here about whether weight loss attempts impacted binge behaviors, what I did find was that:”20% of the sample indicated a worsening in time spent thinking about weight and 14% reported a worsening in time spent thinking about food.”I would argue that, being as generous as I possibly can, this study has nothing to do with the authors claims and, being a bit less generous, this could be seen as a bit of a refutation of the claims.And this is why we check the references. Finally they cite2001 Nutrient intake of ob*se female binge eatersR S Reeves 1, R S McPherson, M Z Nichaman, R B Harrist, J P Foreyt, G K GoodrickDOI: 10.1016/S0002-8223(01)00055-4In this very small, short study 46 cis women were given a behavioral self-management intervention (6 months of weekly, 1-hour classes taught by registered dietitians) and the other group was a wait list control group. The researchers wanted to measure any change in calories consumed, percentages of calories from fat, protein, and carbohydrates, grams of fiber per 1,000 calories and change in number of self-reported binge days.After 6 months they found no significant difference between nutrients in either group. The behavioral self management group reported a greater reduction in binge days than the control group.Their conclusion was quite weak, finding that “Our results suggest that collecting dietary information from participants identified with binge eating disorder is challenging. Dietitians who conduct behavioral weight management programs may require additional training in identifying and understanding the psychological characteristics of participants with binge-eating disorder.”For this conclusion to have merit, behavioral weight management programs would have to be effective and there is no research supporting that and plenty suggesting that it is not.Overall these studies are small, short term, and quite old. The most recent was conducted about 24 years ago. It makes me wonder if there really isn't more recent data, or if more recent data exists but didn't support their conclusion? Also, remember that Barholomay et al. claimed “randomized controlled trials conducted among individuals with overw*ight and ob*sity demonstrate that assignment to a low-calorie weight loss diet (e.g., 1200 calories per day) produced greater decreases in binge-eating symptoms than assignment to a wait list control group.”I think their claim is seriously overstated. First of all, they should have been clear that this was the case in short-term, small sample studies. They also failed to mention that a non-diet treatment also produced greater decreases in binge-eating symptoms than in weight list control group - I wonder why they left that out of everything?Ok, let's look at another claim from Bartholomay et al.. They claim that adolescent girls with BN (which they explain is “bulimia nervosa, a disorder characterized by both binge eating and extreme compensatory behaviors; American Psychiatric Association, 2013”) who were assigned to participate in a healthy dieting intervention promoting weight control through moderate reductions in caloric intake, exhibited greater reductions in binge eating than girls who were assigned to a wait list control group.The first issue here is the claim that there is any such thing as a “healthy dieting intervention.” This is, in fact, a claim and not a fact, and it requires evidentiary support, which they don't offer. They don't even offer a definition of “healthy” nor proof that this intervention is, in fact, healthy by any definition. Again as we often see in research propping up the weight loss paradigm the authors have substituted “just saying stuff” for anything resembling scientific precision. In this case they are repeating a mistake originally made in the 2006 study they are citing by Burton and Stice called “Evaluation of a healthy-weight treatment program for bulimia nervosa: a preliminary randomized trial.” This study included 85 cisgender female participants with “full- and sub-threshold bulimia nervosa” who were randomly assigned to a 6-session “healthy dieting intervention” or a waitlist control group and assessed after a 3 month follow up. Their conclusion was that “These preliminary results suggest that this intervention shows potential for the treatment of bulimia nervosa and may be worthy of future refinement and evaluation. Results also provide experimental evidence that dieting behaviors do not maintain bulimia nervosa, suggesting the need to reconsider maintenance models for this eating disorder.”In using this study to support their claim, Bartholomay et al seem to be heavily glossing over words like “preliminary” and “may be worthy.” Also, even if we believe the results (without a deep dive into them) the fact that people on diets can suppress binging (or report suppressing binging) over 9 months is a far cry from showing what impact that restriction has over the long term.Back to Bartholomay et al., they make another claim that“Importantly, although longitudinal studies indicate that self reported dietary restraint predicts the future onset of binge-eating symptoms (Field et al., 1999; Killen et al., 1994; Stice, 2001; Stice et al., 2002), these results stand in stark contrast with findings from experimental treatment studies testing the causal effect of dietary restriction and restraint on the maintenance of binge eating.”This is an odd claim that, to me, is made with far too much confidence/bias. Longitudinal studies look at a longer time period, often quite a bit longer, than experimental treatments. Bartholomay et al. do not have a method to determine whether any difference is due to experimental design or simply due to the fact that experimental treatment studies capture a much shorter time frame. If what is true is that people who are on diets can suppress binge behaviors short term, but that the restriction drives additional binge behavior long-term, then the longitudinal studies could be more accurate.Let me offer an example to help illustrate the issue: It takes from 10-40 years for symptoms of asbestos conditions to appear. Let's stay that a study claimed “Importantly, although longitudinal studies indicate that exposure to asbestos causes mesothelioma, these results stand in stark contrast with findings from [6 month - 1.5 year] experimental treatment studies testing the causal effect of asbestos on mesothelioma, which found no relationship.”If the effect takes longer to appear than the time over which the experiments are conducted, there is a significant risk of missing the effect. That effect may be identified by longitudinal studies.Overall, I don't think the studies they are citing come anywhere close to, as they claim:“challenge the assumption that dietary restriction maintains BE [binge eating] among all individuals with BED [Binge Eating Disorder]. Rather, results suggest that dietary restriction may be largely unrelated to BE maintenance in this population, and that reducing dietary restriction generally does not have the intended effect on BE frequency.”In part 3 we'll investigate to see if the rest of the article's data supports their conclusions.

Ozempic and other weight loss drugs have opened up a new conversation about our nation's obsession with thinness. This episode from 2022 delves into our nation's refusal to acknowledge that the ideal, at its core, is racist. How do we get beyond the belief that bigger Black bodies are a problem? And instead, allow ourselves, no matter what size, to take up space?GUESTS:Sabrina Strings, Ph.D., scholar and author of Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia.Carvell Wallace, author and memoirist.Mozell Ward, trainer at Radically Fit.INSTAGRAM:@carvell_wallaceLINKS:deartbt.comInstagram: deartbtTikTok: tonyatbtEmail: tonya@deartbt.com

Dark ideas and stigma around different body sizes really took hold in the Enlightenment.Very unenlightened, if you ask us.This started all sorts of awful movements, and one result was BMI - or Body Mass Index - which is still used as a measure of health by doctors today.What even is the BMI? Why are women and people of colour particularly affected by these harmful ideas? And what's the future of fatphobia and BMI?Joining Kate is the fantastic Amy Farrell, professor of women's, gender and sexuality studies at Dickinson College and author of Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture, to take us back to the dark origins of BMI and fatphobia.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Send us a textWow, what a fantastic conversation with the fabulous Emily Williams - and our first to be released on YouTube (you can watch it here!)Emily is the Director and Co-founder of Every Body Outdoors and loves the outdoors - at the moment mostly cycling and wild swimming, but also paddleboarding, canoeing, camping and exploring and anything else that looks like fun. In her day job she works as a self-employed knitwear designer and technical editor (specialising in plus size grading of hand-knit patterns) and is a campaigner advocating for better active travel infrastructure in the highlands. Emily shared with us how she has always loved outdoor activities and adventures and how she became an activist to lobby for size-inclusive clothing. She has been putting herself out there, representing how those in plus-size bodies can have the adventures that we usually only see straight-sized and thin folks go on. Every Body Outdoors is building a community exclusively for people in larger bodies who want to explore outdoor activities. They review clothes and gear, and they run regional walks.We also talked about the brilliant short film 'Capsized' that showed Emily and her friend Lisa on a canoe adventure in the Scottish Lochs. We chatted about their journey, how getting the right gear was so much more difficult and labour intensive for Emily than Lisa, and how the film is meant to show people that there is a place for every body outdoors.

In this episode the girls discuss their experiences with fat phobic doctors and why the experience can be harmful and counterproductive. They discuss the antiquated BMI scale and share stories from their listeners of their own experiences.

Summary In this episode of the Men Unscripted podcast, host Aaron Flores talks to Giddy, a trans man in a larger body, about his experiences with body image and eating disorders. Giddy shares his journey growing up in a small rural town, dealing with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and the impact of fatphobia and societal expectations on his self-esteem. They discuss the intersection of anorexia and ARFID, the lack of understanding and support for atypical anorexia, and the importance of body acceptance and self-advocacy. Giddy also highlights the role of social media in finding representation and building a community of support. In this conversation, Giddy and Aaron discuss the intersection of body image, gender identity, and eating disorders. Giddy shares their experience as a trans man and how it has influenced their body image journey. They also discuss the importance of support from the queer and trans community and the role of advocacy in medical settings. Giddy emphasizes the value of taking pictures to connect with their body and document their experiences. They also mention resources like health at every size and fact-checking pages on Tumblr.   Keywords body image, eating disorders, trans man, larger body, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, ARFID, fatphobia, anorexia, atypical anorexia, body acceptance, gender identity, advocacy, queer community, taking pictures, health at every size, fact-checking Takeaways Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is often misunderstood and mislabeled as picky eating, but it is a distinct eating disorder that goes beyond food preferences. The intersection of anorexia and ARFID can complicate the experience of both disorders, and individuals may not fit the DSM criteria for a specific diagnosis. Fatphobia and societal expectations can have a profound impact on body image and self-esteem, leading to disordered eating behaviors and a cycle of extreme restriction and brief periods of eating. Finding representation and support through social media can be empowering for individuals with marginalized identities and experiences, helping them challenge societal norms and embrace body acceptance. Building a community of support, whether through work friends, therapy, or hobbies like playing D&D, can provide a safe space to share experiences and receive validation and understanding. The diet industry perpetuates harmful messaging about body size and shape, which can negatively impact body image and contribute to eating disorders. Gender identity can influence body image, and being trans can present unique challenges and opportunities for self-acceptance. Support from the queer and trans community is crucial in navigating body image issues and eating disorders. Taking pictures can help connect with and appreciate one's body, challenging negative body image perceptions. Resources like health at every size and fact-checking pages on social media can provide valuable information and challenge fatphobic narratives.   Links This is Thin Privilege - Tumblr Fatphobia Busters - Tumblr Follow Aaron Flores on IG: @AaronFloresRDN Body Image Coaching for Men Learn more about Within Health

What is braver than sharing your own story with the world? Nothing. This episode of the Velshi Banned Book Club will examine two true stories: “Hunger” by Roxane Gay and “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls. While these two memoirs are windows into two vastly different worlds, they are both masterclasses in the age-old tradition of storytelling as a warning, as a lesson, and as a means to understand oneself. “Hunger” is a breathtaking examination of the societal demands of appearance and a salient reminder of how radical self-acceptance is. “The Glass Castle” is a searing examination of poverty, the intricacies of family, and the all-encompassing nature of mental health struggles. Together, they're cultural touchstones and contemporary classics that need to be read.

So what happened to love? What's behind the growing trend of "situationships" and why has this scenario been made even more precarious for Black women and other women of color? For anyone who's been left wondering whether or not they are witnessing the collective collapse of traditional romantic love, sociologist Sabrina Strings has the answer– yes, they are, and the evidence is all around us.In THE END OF LOVE: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance, Strings blends historical research, personal stories, and critical analysis of popular culture to trace the path that she believes has led to the demise of romantic partnerships, with an emphasis on how racism and anti-feminist ideology have been the driving force behind it. Sabrina Strings, professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will discuss: *How changes brought forward during the Civil Rights era resulted in Black men distancing themselves from Black and “insufficiently white” women and aligning themselves with white men in order to pursue a rise in personal status. *How men's media counseled its audience to be wary of women's intentions, narrowly selective in their choice of partners, or to avoid marriage all together. *The rise and fall of the Black is Beautiful movement.   *The problematic portrayal of Black women in popular culture. *How the widespread availability of porn online has influenced sexual relationships and men's expectations for partners. Sabrina Strings, PhD is professor and North Hall Chair of Black Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her book, Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, won the 2020 Body and Embodiment Best Publication Award given by the American Sociological Association and was an Honorable Mention in the 2020 Sociology of Sex and Gender Distinguished Book Award, given by the American Sociological Association.       Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

Summary In this episode, Aaron Flores interviews Paul, a 52-year-old man who shares his journey of understanding body image and size through his relationship with his spouse. Paul discusses how his spouse helped him recognize and challenge fatphobia and the prejudices associated with body size. He reflects on his own past fatphobic attitudes and the impact of societal beauty standards. Paul also explores the intersection of masculinity and body image, as well as the influence of religion on the morality of food and dieting. The conversation explores the morality of food and the impact of societal ideals on body image. It delves into the role of patriarchy in shaping attitudes towards food and body size. The importance of education and advocacy in challenging fat phobia and promoting body acceptance is emphasized. The conversation also touches on the connection between religion and body image, highlighting the need for more inclusive and fat-positive spaces within religious communities. Resources such as books, podcasts, and individuals advocating for body acceptance are mentioned. The conversation concludes with discussing personal interests, including music, TV shows, and movies. Keywords body image, fatphobia, masculinity, religion, dieting, morality of food, societal ideals, patriarchy, education, advocacy, body acceptance, inclusivity, resources, personal interests Takeaways Recognizing and challenging fatphobia and prejudices associated with body size is an important step towards body acceptance. Societal beauty standards and fatphobia can impact our attitudes towards our own bodies and the bodies of others. Masculinity can play a role in how we view and judge bodies, and it is important to challenge traditional gender roles and expectations. Religion can influence the morality of food and dieting, and it is important to separate religious teachings from patriarchal structures and beliefs.Food should not be judged as 'unhealthy' based on body size or shape. Challenging fat phobia and promoting body acceptance requires education and advocacy. Religious communities should strive to be inclusive and promote a fat-positive environment. Resources such as books, podcasts, and individuals can provide support and guidance in promoting body acceptance Personal interests and hobbies can provide a sense of joy and fulfillment.

They explored the concept of a "Situationship" and the historical and cultural context of romantic relationships, focusing on the Western world and the Middle East. They also discussed the evolution of courtship into romantic love, the role of gender and power dynamics in these relationships, and the prevalence of extramarital relationships. Dr. Strings explained that the idea of a "worthy" woman is used to justify the mistreatment of women who do not fit this ideal, particularly women of color who are seen as being of a lower status. They also discussed the changing dynamics between men and women as women have become more independent and the clash between traditional gender roles and the demand for gender equality. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Strings discussed the decline of traditional romantic love and courtship. They pointed out that the connection between romance and marriage is relatively recent, with arranged marriages by family being more prevalent in the past. They argued that other forms of love, such as self-love, family, and community love, are universal. Dr. Strings highlighted that love is about generosity, while romance can be selfish. They discussed the cultural aspects of relationships and family dynamics, focusing on the role of Black women and the experiences of Iranian women. They highlighted the resilience of Black women and the challenges they face, as well as the oppressive laws and practices towards women in various parts of the world, including Iran and India. They discussed the ongoing battle against sexism and the entrenchment of this issue in the law. They expressed their concerns about the future of women's rights, especially with the changing political landscape. They also discussed the significance of the representation of women, particularly women of color, in positions of power.

This is a non-horror solo episode. Unless you count the trauma of growing up fat as horror (personally, I do). It's a weird and vulnerable episode where I talk about pretty privilege, thin privilege, and the frustration of wanting to reject beauty standards while feeling like you need to reach them in order to survive. It's a strange, dissonant space to exist in, but I hope it'll resonate with people like me. See my solo-sode on Body Horror for more content like this.
