Ep 704: Fatphobia, Weight Loss As A Cure All Yes& Body Politics

    • Society & Culture

Will losing weight make me healthy? Is my doctor practicing outdated science? Is my doctor hurting me? Does the BMI tell me if I am healthy? Why does my doctor want to put me on ozempic/semiglutide to lose weight? Is there a cure for being fat? Do fat people need to be cured? Why does my doctor only look at my weight and not my health? Why doesn't my doctor believe me? What does the latest research say about obesity and health? Why do doctors focus on weight? Why is it so hard to get insurance to cover ozempic?
 
Guru Shabd, LMFT and Tresla, Advocate and Public Speaker get into this with collected peer reviewed journal research and even more passion than before.
