Scientific integrity is the modus operandi here as Maggie Landes MD MPH dismantles the culture of weight stigma in the health professions using the highest quality and most contemporary evidence available.
The unexposed health crisis of privilege, discrimination, and anti-fat bias will be centered here through a combination of solocasts and guest episodes featuring a wide range of professional and lived experience narratives.
With a side order of sarcasm, the doc-next-door charm, and a few decades of experience as a physician and a fat patient, Maggie is going to shine light on these issues in a way that will change you forever - because Health Can’t Weight!

Damaged by Dieting in Your Family of Origin with Melissa Landry RDN
Where did it start for you? Even if you have been dieting or micromanaging your food for decades… you weren’t born this way.Did your mom take you to Weight Watchers with her as a child?
Were sweets off limits at home because people were trying to “maintain” their size?
Was it shopping with a grandma who wanted you to pick clothes “more flattering on you”?All of those narratives were likely the prevailing cultural standard at the time, and it is highly probable that those individuals were doing what they thought would be helpful and healthful.Fast forward…Now as the adult, how will you choose to process those feelings? What will allow you to set boundaries and protect yourself and your own family? Which relationships can be reconciled, and how can we do that decades later?It’s complicated, but this week’s guest is an expert in healing relationships that have been strained by generational diet trauma. You are going to hear tips that every child of a dieter can apply!Guest Bio:

Where Fitness Fits In with Sarah Kramer RN
You know I spend a lot of time debunking the eating part of the toxic “eat less, move more” concept… but today’s conversation is going to focus on the fitness part of the equation.I’ve got a guest with professional and lived experience on both sides of the nondiet/body neutral “fence” as it were… and our conversation will enlighten and inspire you to find what movement could look like for you.
All bodies welcome here!Sarah Kramer is a registered nurse and mom to two daughters that transitioned into fitness and intuitive eating coaching. She coaches women on how to consume food without letting food consume you.
After years of dieting, over-exercising, poor body image and an eating disorder history, Sarah has overcome many obstacles, and as a result of healing her own mindset around these things, she now offers help for other women do the same.

The FDA is Proposing New Labels: Thanks, but No Thanks
Just when you thought the dietary guidelines had done as much damage as they could do… 1980s food pyramid, I’m looking at you… The FDA last week revealed their proposal for new categorization and labeling of “healthy” foods.That’s just freaking fantastic news on so many levels (not!)… But what specifically is the issue with their proposed new system?In this episode we are talking about our 99 problems, and how one of them is clearly not a labeling deficiency. Plus, we are talking butter boards – because, butter.

Customer Reviews
Top notch anti diet content
As a non-diet dietitian and diet culture dropout myself, I so deeply value and respect Dr. Landes for sharing her expertise on this podcast. The world needs more physicians who practice from a weight inclusive standpoint and I wish everyone I knew would listen to this show to understand why the messages we receive about health and our bodies are so problematic. Thank you for being such a rockstar!!
Ozempic episode
Semaglutide IS FDA approved for weight loss. Host has very strong opinions on semaglutide but she is very misinformed. The only thing I agree with that she said is pharmaceutical companies shouldn’t advertise drugs on commercials.
New listener
I have been practicing intuitive eating, as a psychologist myself, for about a year and a half. I’ve listened to several podcasts on the topic and just came across this one recently. I am going back and listening to a bunch of older episodes right now. I really love the easy explanations of topics that include tangible tips. Her medical background is a unique and helpful perspective. I love her personality and sense of humor. I also appreciate the short length of each episode. Keep up the great work!
