Ep 707: Fatphobia in Reproductive Healthcare & Pediatrics Yes& Body Politics

Does being fat make it hard to get pregnant? Does obesity affect fertility? Do hormones impact weight? What science do we actually know about being fat and conception? I want to have a baby and my doctor won't stop telling me to lose weight, why does this happen? Is my infertility all my fault? Does morning after pill/plan b work on fat people? Why doesn't my doctor have more answers about my period? Is it ok for my doctor to put my child on a diet? What age do we worry about my child's weight? Why don't we know more about women's reproduction? Why didn't my doctor catch my endometriosis? How painful is a period? Why isn't there more research about female bodies? Is the male body same as the female body? Does a male body react the same as a female body? Why do females have to fight so hard for care? Why does my doctor judge what food I feed my children? How can I have a healthy relationship with food if my doctor keeps bringing up my weight? How do I advocate for myself at my doctors? Why do people hold on to their prejudiced beliefs and not actual researched science? Why is there a limited amount of woman's healthcare science?
Guru Shabd, LMFT and Tresla, Advocate and Public Speaker get into this with collected peer reviewed journal research and even more passion than before.
