    "Fatphobia" and the Fitness Industry....From a Coach's Perspective.

    You should show compassion and empathy for everyone you encounter until they give you a reason not to in my opinion.  When people you care about are engaging in self-destructive behavior, you have a duty to help if asked. There are many factors that influence an individual's physical condition that we will discuss in detail (Genetics, hormones, metabolism, medications, psychology, nutrition, and physical activity). Some of these we can influence, and some we can't.  To suggest that A, there are no inherent risks related to clinical obesity, and B, that there isn't anything that can be done about it anyways so why address it is criminal and will cost people their lives.  I will not participate in pushing this narrative.  I care about people and the quality of the life they lead. If you are happy and content, more power to you. But, if you want to make changes, I would like to offer support knowing the benefit of the effort!
