In this episode, Dana, Hillary, and Sirius answer listener questions about weight loss and its complexities. They discuss the inefficacy of sustainable weight loss, the psychological and physiological impacts, and the harms of weight cycling. The conversation delves into cultural myths and biases surrounding weight, the problematic nature of attempting to address trauma through weight loss, and the importance of embracing body diversity. They highlight systemic issues within the medical community that enforce weight loss on people in larger bodies and emphasize the necessity of dismantling these oppressive structures to improve the quality of life for all.
