The idea that fatness and weight gain are synonymous with poor health has become a seemingly incontestable truth in our society. So much so that you have undoubtedly heard that “we’re in the midst of an obesity epidemic”. But where did this claim originate? And what does the research actually say about the relationship between weight and health outcomes?

These two things may be connected, but not in the way we’ve been led to believe.

This week, I am joined by the incredible and incomparable Ragen Chastain — who is a groundbreaking researcher in weight science, as well as a writer, speaker, and thought leader (among so many other things.)

We explore the assumption that continues to uphold diet culture and anti-fat bias: “Isn’t being fat bad for your health?”

Ragen helps us unpack the science — as well as the social rhetoric — that continue to perpetuate lies about fatness, health, and disease. And oh yes, we get into pharmaceutical companies, weight loss drugs, and celebrity culture.

Topics discussed include:

What's on Ragen's plate
Ragen's food and body story, starting as a young kid
Dance culture and body image
The origin of the word "obese"
The many problems with the term "obesity epidemic"
Weight stigma in healthcare and its impact on health outcomes
Weight cycling, yo-yo dieting, and cardiovascular risk
How the weight-loss industry pathologized bodies for profit
Public opinion, medical guidelines, and the myths about weight and health
How weight loss studies are funded and designed
The flaws in the research on how weight and health are related
Medical education and anti-fat bias
If not weight loss for health, then what?

About Ragen:

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 health. She is the author of the Weight and Healthcare newsletter, the blog Dances With Fat, the book Fat: The Owner's Manual, editor of the Praeger Anthology "The Politics of Size," co-author of the HAES Health Sheets. In her free time, she is a national dance champion, triathlete, and marathoner who holds the Guinness World Record for Heaviest Woman to Complete a Marathon.

Charlotte loves to talk with tweens, teens, parents, and educators about body image and how to improve body image.

#153: The Great Protein Debate and Nutrition Through Menopause with Dr. Jenn Huber, RD / ND 37:48

7 weeks yang lalu37:48

37:48

Dr. Jenn Huber joins us to talk all about protein and how to approach eating with menopause in mind (hint, it’s not as scary as you’ve been led to believe!). It seems like every day, diet culture finds a new way to make us feel guilty for our bodies changing. It’s not news that women in menopause are a group preyed on by diet culture, but lately this pressure has been heavily centered around protein. We hear it in the news, on social media, and in advertising: How much is enough? Can eating a lot of protein support aging? If you find yourself unsure about how to feel about the messaging you’re seeing around protein, this episode is for you. We get into the small truths that people extrapolate to make false claims, the pressure women feel to eat in unrealistic ways, and the importance of satisfaction when making meal decisions. Listen to hear more about: The food on Jenn’s plate Facts and myths about protein The truth about aging and protein needs A three-pronged stool analogy for eating What happens if we make meals without protein (gasp) Whether protein timing is something to worry about Downsides to eating too much protein Malnutrition regarding other vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients Why all the macronutrients need to work together The difference between looking strong and feeling strong How satisfaction can help us build our meals Letting food be flexible and forgiving Helpful insights into what to prioritize with your nutrition in mid-life If you’re feeling overwhelmed or confused on how much is really needed for nourishment, you’re not alone. This episode should hopefully make you feel a lot more confident in trusting your body to tell you what it needs, and help you to shed any guilt or confusion you feel when you hear influencers try to convince you that protein is the magic elixir to aging. More About Jenn: Dr. Jenn Salib Huber is a Canadian Registered Dietitian, Naturopathic Doctor, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and she's on a mission to help women manage menopause without diets and food rules. She helps women navigate the physical and emotional changes that happen in perimenopause and menopause, including their search for food freedom and body confidence. Working from a health at every size approach, she teaches women to become intuitive eaters and build body confidence at any stage of midlife. In addition to her 1:1 and small group programs, she's the host of 'The Midlife Feast' podcast and community that helps women "undiet" their lives after 40 so they can nourish a relationship with food that helps them discover the magic of midlife!

8 weeks yang lalu1:05:26

1:05:26

In this week's VERY special episode, we are joined by Abbie's client, Kimberly. She speaks from the heart in bravely sharing her body story — from childhood adversity and weight stigma, to the decision to get weight loss surgery, to dealing with the aftermath of that experience, to learning how to create real safety and belonging in her life. Kimberly has magnetic energy, and is an example of why vulnerability is true courage and strength. She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk, and is a beautiful example of what it looks like to move from constantly seeking external validation to learning to trust our innate worthiness. Tune in to hear more about… Kimberly’s journey from seeking external validation through weight loss to finding internal trust and self-acceptance. Her decision to get weight-loss surgery and what she wishes she knew back then. The severe physical, mental, and emotional side effects of the surgery. Why Kimberly wanted to get the surgery reversed. Setting firm boundaries with family as an act of self-respect. The difficulty of rebuilding a healthy relationship with movement after experiencing trauma and disordered behaviors. How to reconnect with movement in a positive way. Overcoming avoidance and old rules to embrace a more compassionate approach to food and exercise. The role of a supportive coach in creating a safe space for healing and growth in movement and self-respect. Navigating a world that is still steeped in bias, even when you are working to free yourself. Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

Therapists Ashley Wilfore and Sarah Louer know what it's like to have dieting and body shame passed down to you like a family heirloom. We discuss what it means to experience intergenerational trauma, how disordered eating and body hatred get inherited and perpetuated through family values and behaviors, and what it's like to grow up surrounded by diet culture in your home.

Tune in to hear more about: What’s on their plates (hint: foods to eat when you're sick, and an ode to eggplant...) A clinical and personal definition of “intergenerational trauma” Being impacted by generational passing down of dieting and body shame How the idea that starving yourself is power has been believed by their family members who were otherwise independent-minded and strong Specific moments and vivid memories from childhood that form beliefs today Overhearing the women they looked up to talking about their own bodies The moments they realized they couldn’t keep dieting and over-exercising The intentional decisions they made as mothers How they handle their parents' anti-fat bias today SO much more!! A final gentle note before you listen: If you are reading this right now as a mom, and you feel like this has been both something you both experienced from your mother as well as something you've been afraid of passing on to your children…know this: our conversation is for you, not about you.

We discuss why it’s harmful to center medical care on a patient’s weight, the stigma and negative health consequences of medical providers prescribing intentional weight loss, how to advocate for yourself with your physician, declining to be weighed at the doctor's, why BMI is so problematic, caring for and treating diagnoses without weight loss, and her thoughts on the GLP-1 hype. Mara also opens up about what she regrets as a physician prior to finding fat-positive medicine, and how she came to see the harms of anti-fat bias and diet culture more broadly. In the EXTENDED version (a bonus episode that you can find at www.patreon.com/fullplate ), Mara answers questions about: her concerns about GLP-1s like Ozempic, and what we can do to think about them differently how larger bodied humans can advocate for themselves at the doctor’s office without giving the unwritten message that they're “noncompliant” or don't care about their health how to deal with being told weight loss will help a specific health condition (like diabetes, joint pain, sleep apnea) why folks in larger bodies need to receive the same treatments offered to thin-bodied folks how “obesity” as a pathological condition has its roots in the pharmaceutical industry, and it started in the 90s More about Dr. Mara Gordon: Dr. Gordon is a family physician and writer based in Philadelphia. She worked in public health in Tanzania and Malawi before returning to the Philadelphia area to attend medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was awarded the Zervanos Family Medicine Award for a medical student going into family medicine.

#149: “Restriction Just Isn’t An Option Anymore”: Shira Rosenbluth on Being a Plus-Size Bride, Recovery in a Fat Body, and Harm Reduction with GLP-1s 54:09

11 weeks yang lalu54:09

54:09

Shira Rosenbluth , LCSW, returns to discuss what it means to live a full life in a fat body. She catches us up on eating disorder recovery (two years after her first time on the pod), coming out as queer, how her relationship with her fiance has impacted her body image, planning a wedding as a plus-size bride, and what it's felt like to witness the constant chatter of GLP-1s while recovering from a life-long eating disorder. Last time she was on the pod, we spoke about her experience with atypical anorexia and quasi- recovery. Now, two years later, we hear about how her recovery has solidified, why restriction is no longer an option for her, and what has helped her stay firm in that place -- despite the negative thoughts and noise from diet culture. Listen to hear more about: What’s on Shira’s plate How her recovery has been going since the last time she was on the pod Why lab values are not always a good indicator of how sick you are Realizing that restrictive behaviors no longer serve her How her relationship with her fiance has changed her view on restriction Why creating a life outside of eating disorder behaviors is just as important as stopping the behaviors themselves Why being nourished enables room for reliance in other aspects of life Her experience coming out as queer and living authentically herself That people in all sized bodies find love, and thinness is not a prerequisite for finding a loving relationship How recovery is full of ups and downs and is not always blissful Planning for a wedding in a larger body Making sure you utilize resources to support you navigating recovery The impact of Ozempic on eating disorder recovery So much more! Shira Rosenbluth, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker treating clients in New York and California. She specializes in the treatment of disordered eating, eating disorders, and body-image dissatisfaction using a weight-neutral approach. She’s also the author of a popular body positive blog and has been featured in The New York Times, Insider, The Cut, The Everygirl, InStyle, and Healthline.

1:21:57

We're revisiting this conversation with Dr. Diana Gordon, and it's everything. Big picture, Abbie and Diana discuss how to approach mental health in a sea of diet and wellness misinformation -- including whether or not movement and nutrition have a meaningful impact on anxiety and depression. They get into what it's like to ping pong back and forth between dieting and intuitive eating, how diet culture seizes on our fear of uncertainty to sell us a faulty product, and how to sit with and process our collective health anxiety. Topics discussed... Being an empath in the midst of overwhelming global events How to affect positive change in your own community Diana's story & her passion for helping people who have struggled to eat intuitively How the diet industry makes money off of our shame What it looks like to have dieting take over all aspects of your life Developing and overcoming health anxiety How we can practice true self-care Actively undoing our core beliefs about food and our bodies Weight stigma in therapy and psychotherapy spaces The truth about exercise and mental health Why we latch onto diets when we're going through a health challenge Healthism and assumptions based on appearance How much control we actually have over our health Embracing the messy and often chaotic experience of food freedom Dr. Diana Gordon is a licensed psychologist, coach, and content creator specializing in Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size (HAES). She combines evidence-based skills, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral skills, and other coping tools with Intuitive Eating principles. As both a psychologist and an IE-certified provider, she offers evaluation and treatment for both eating-related concerns as well as other mental health concerns. As a person of size, she draws on both her personal and professional experience to dismantle fatphobia and to help people live a life free from dieting.

Author and podcaster Mary Jelkovsky ( @maryscupofteaa ) joins us to share her journey about the harms and toxicity of becoming a fitness influencer, how fitness culture pushed her further into an eating disorder, and how she's healed from the damage to her sense of self. We also get into self-love versus self-compassion, confidence versus self-worth, healing from comparison, and why it's so stressful to worry about what other people think of your body. "I prided myself on being this person who didn't give a shit what anybody thought of her. I was doing this food and body stuff for me and my own health and fitness and whatever. Then I was called out in a compassionate way, and saw that I was obsessed with how others viewed me." - Mary Jelkovsy, Full Plate episode #145 Listen to hear more about: What’s been on Mary's plate (food, travel, movement) Her early experiences as a body builder How being a teenage fitness influencer effected her relationship with her body Developing an eating disorder, hidden in plain sight The dangers of too much protein How fitness culture praises disordered eating behaviors Why changing environments can help us find room to heal Letting our love for others guide our way to loving ourselves Fighting the patriarchy without fighting our husbands Self-love as self-compassion, self-worth, and self-esteem Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?
