The Heavy Conversation Podcast is back! This week’s topic: how to deal with weight bias. Whether you call it weight discrimination, fat phobia, or weight bias, chances are, you’ve had to deal with it at some point in your life. We’re sharing our experiences and ways you can push back against it. Here are a few resources that can help:
NAAFA.org: NAAFA is a nonprofit that’s been fighting for the rights and dignity of fat people for over 50 years, and their website is packed with resources on weight bias, discrimination, and how to take action. Learn more at https://naafa.org.
ASDAH.org: ASDAH is the group behind Health at Every Size®, and their site offers resources to help you understand and fight weight stigma—especially in healthcare—with tools like their HAES provider directory and educational materials. Learn more at https://asdah.org.
Big moves and new TV tech
In this episode, we’re also sharing what we’ve been up to since the winter break. Jody talks about life in Chicago, and I talk about the free, ad-supported TV I got from Telly earlier this year.
