Kathy Deitch made her Broadway debut in the original cast of FOOTLOOSE and later created the role of Shen Shen in the smash Broadway hit WICKED. She made her LA acting debut at the Hollywood Bowl in RENT directed by Neil Patrick Harris. Other credits include: SILENCE! THE MUSICAL (LA Weekly Award), AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW, and the thriller LOFT, opposite Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet and MAGIC MIKE XXL. In looking to combat body bias, she co-created PLUS THIS! SHOW, a weekly vodcast on UBN GO that highlights fat women & non-binary folx and their allies, spotlighting creatives (Chrissy Metz, Retta, Our Lady J), academic powerhouses (Dr. Lindo Bacon, Christy Harrison, Dr. Sabrina Strings) and fat activist icons (Marilyn Wann, Da'Shaun Harrison, Ragen Chastain). Now fully saturated in anti-body bias work, she has produced many fat friendly events in LA, programmed panels to discuss body bias (most recently at BroadwayCon in NYC) and is a founding member of Fatch Comedy, a fat femme sketch comedy group which was at the SF Sketchfest right before lockdown. She's had monthly articles for Better Books for Living and has been featured in SLiNK & FabUPlus magazines, SoulPancake, and Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel.

I’m replaying a fan favorite (and one of my favorite episodes) of Body Kindness from one of my favorite teachers. What if we all were fat activists? It’s an interesting thought for people who are finally at the place of rejecting diets and a singular (thin) standard for beauty and health. Activism is not always getting angry and standing on the street with a sign screaming. Sometimes it IS that, but there are lots of forms of “activism” if you take a broader definition. You can throw a pool party and rock your swimwear. You can tell the nurse, “I don’t step on the scale.” You can tell yourself “I am on your side” and anyone who treats you badly based on weight can get the push back. Fat activism is just as much about practicing self-care and self-compassion as it is about getting angry. Tune in to hear my conversation with long-time Fat Activist and author of Fat!So? Marilyn Wann joins me to discuss why it’s wrong when people say “you should lose weight for health reasons”. She shares ideas for fat activism that go beyond getting angry and protesting in the streets to include meaningful choices anyone can make to reject body oppression and instead, practice self-care.

Legendary fat activist Marilyn Wann of Fat!So? joins me to talk about fat (belly) activism, taking down weight hierarchies, the problems with stomach amputation (a.k.a. gastric bypass surgery), and much more.

Episode 22 is here and your hosts, Glenys and Aaron just need to rant a little bit. They discuss some current research over "obesity" and cancer and examine flaws with studies like this and how it perpetuates fat-phobia. Glenys and Aaron also take time to discuss with public weight loss experiences of Gabby Sidibe and Chrissy Metz. Buckle up, and enjoy the bumpy, wild ride.

Body acceptance and respect is all fine and good yet what if one gains weight due to medications? Does this trump non-diet approach research? Does this make the pursuit of weight loss health promoting? If so, how can one lose weight in a healthy way?? Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. Key Points: Our family of origin teaches us how to relate to food and our body. If you grew up in a family with disordered eating and/or body hate, it teaches us to fear fat and to prevent it all costs. Even if it hurts. The only thing we can tell about a person from their weight is our own weight bias (based on a quote from Marilyn Wann). Not health. Those at higher weights may very well be eating in a health promoting way so if you get at a higher doesn't mean you must now worry about your weight. The worry very well could lead to more disease. Should you diet if you've gained weight from a medication? No. What if you've gained 100 pounds or more...does that make a difference? It's a moot point for Julie. The weight gain amount does not matter. We have no diet that promotes effective and health promoting outcomes long-term for more than 3 to 5%. Julie demands better data before I can recommend a weight loss diet. Otherwise, Julie would be promoting something without sound scientific backing. Twin studies suggest the more one diets, the more they weigh. Friend: "I am going on a diet." Julie: "Oh, are you trying to gain weight??" Friend: "Uhhh, no. Huh?" All change brings melancholy so respecting your current higher size due to medication may warrant a time of grief. If you don't agree with this podcast episode, I welcome the conversation.

As our nation's obesity rate continues to rise, a debate rages on: Are big people necessarily unhealthy and unfit? Should we be working toward greater acceptance and larger accomodations in public facilities? Or is obesity a health crisis that threatens our economy, so junk food should be taxed like tobacco and big people charged higher insurance rates? A lively discussion with Linda Bacon, Ph.D. (author of Health At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight), Deane Waldman, MD MBA (author of Uproot U.S. Healthcare), best-selling author & obesity activist Julia Havey, Marilyn Wann (fat activist & author of Fat!So?), marketer Bill Shelton, and fitness instructor Dana Schuster.
