Manage episode 411705793 series 3516275
We’ve been conditioned to believe “obesity is an epidemic,” but can a person be healthy AND overweight? Are the old standards of obesity and BMI really applicable when human beings come in all shapes and sizes?
Sarah talks with Dr. Tiffany Lowe Clayton, a bariatrician with WakeMed, about body image, obesity, weight loss and the idea that we can be “healthy at any size.” They also dive into weight loss medication (especially the current fad of semaglutides) and how they work.
