    How to Break Up with Fatphobia (Part 2): Challenging Weight Stigma, Diet Culture and Internalised Bias

    Send us Fan Mail Can we truly challenge fatphobia when it is woven into our culture, institutions, and everyday beliefs? In Part 2 of our conversation on fatphobia, weight stigma, and diet culture, we move beyond defining the problem and explore what meaningful change looks like. We discuss the challenges of unlearning weight bias, the impact of internalised fatphobia, and how individuals and systems can begin to adopt more weight-inclusive and compassionate approaches to health and well-being. Drawing on perspectives from Health at Every Size (HAES®), body liberation, and eating disorder recovery, this episode examines the connection between body size, social justice, healthcare access, and mental health. We also reflect on what it means to support people of all body sizes in a society that continues to privilege thinness. Whether you're a health professional, student, advocate, or someone working to heal your relationship with your body, this episode offers practical insights and critical reflection on challenging anti-fat bias and creating more inclusive communities. In this episode, we discuss: How to identify and challenge internalised fatphobiaThe relationship between weight stigma and mental healthWhy weight-inclusive care matters in healthcare settingsThe limits of focusing solely on weight as a health measureBody liberation and social justice perspectivesCreating more inclusive conversations about health and wellbeingTaking action against weight bias in everyday lifeFind Us Online:  @isthisflatteringpodcast Find Matilda: Instagram : @matildathenutritionist Find Olivia:  Instagram: @wildnwell.counselling Website: wildnwell.co.uk

    How to Break Up with Fatphobia (Part 1): Understanding Weight Stigma, Diet Culture and Weight Bias

    Send us Fan Mail What is fatphobia, and is it possible to unlearn it? In this episode, we explore the roots and impacts of fatphobia, weight stigma, and weight bias in contemporary society. From healthcare and education to media, workplaces, and personal relationships, we examine how anti-fat attitudes are reinforced through diet culture and how they can affect body image, mental health, and access to care. Drawing on weight-inclusive, anti-diet, and Health at Every Size (HAES) perspectives, we discuss common myths about body weight and health, unpack the social and structural nature of fatphobia, and explore what it means to challenge internalised beliefs about bodies and worth. Whether you're interested in body acceptance, eating disorder recovery, social justice, or creating more inclusive communities, this conversation offers practical insights and critical reflection on one of the most pervasive forms of discrimination. In this episode, we discuss: What fatphobia is and how it differs from concerns about healthThe impact of weight stigma on physical and mental well-beingHow diet culture shapes our beliefs about bodiesInternalised fatphobia and body imageWeight-inclusive and anti-diet approaches to healthWhy challenging weight bias matters for social changeKeywords: fatphobia, weight stigma, weight bias, anti-diet, diet culture, body image, body acceptance, Health at Every Size, HAES, weight-inclusive care, eating disorders, social justice, mental health, healthcare discrimination, body diversity. #Fatphobia #WeightStigma #AntiDiet #BodyImage #HAES #BodyAcceptance #WeightInclusiveCare #DietCulture #EatingDisorderRecovery #SocialJustice Find Us Online:  @isthisflatteringpodcast Find Matilda: Instagram : @matildathenutritionist Find Olivia:  Instagram: @wildnwell.counselling Website: wildnwell.co.uk

    Navigating Uncertainty and Lessons from Visa Struggles with Olivia

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! This week, Olivia opens up to our community about one of the hardest moments in her personal life last year. She also talks about the challenge of sharing personal anecdotes as a practitioner, how to recognise depression, and when to reach out for help. It's an emotional one, so take care of yourself and see you next time. Studies on Maslows Hierachy of Needs: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a Guide for Living Authors: Lester, D., Hvezda, J., Sullivan, S., & Plourde, R. Publication: Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 1983 Summary: This study explores how Maslow's hierarchy of needs can be applied as a guide for living a fulfilling life. It highlights the importance of satisfying lower-level needs (physiological and safety) before addressing higher-level psychological and self-fulfillment needs. The authors discuss how unmet basic needs can lead to mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression. Link: [Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a Guide for Living](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0022167883233001)  2. The Relationship Between Basic Needs and Psychological Well-Being Study: "Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration and Their Implications for Well-Being in Older Adults" Authors: Chen, B., Vansteenkiste, M., Beyers, W., Boone, L., Deci, E. L., Van der Kaap-Deeder, J., ... & Ryan, R. M. Publication: Journal of Personality, 2015 Summary: This study investigates the impact of satisfying basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) on well-being and mental health. It provides evidence that when these needs are frustrated, individuals experience lower well-being and higher levels of depression and anxiety. Link: [Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jopy.12155)   3. Social Support, Basic Needs, and Depression Study: "The Role of Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction in Explaining Depressive Symptoms: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective" Authors: Wei, M., Shaffer, P. A., Young, S. K., & Zakalik, R. A. Publication: Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2005 Summary: This study examines how the satisfaction of basic psychological needs influences depressive symptoms. It suggests that unmet basic needs, such as those for safety and social connections, are closely linked to increased depressive symptoms. The study also emphasizes the role of social support in mitigating these effects.
