“I take a lot of issue with your episode on “obesity medicine”. Co-opting body positivity language and it “not being about weight loss” is the opposite of what the message is in this podcast. You mention “weight control” and “obesity” as a condition (which it is not-google the definition of the word).The term “obesity” is incredibly stigmatizing in itself, but also weight is very much not in one’s control and many diseases that are correlated with “obesity” are just correlations and not proven to be caused by weight itself. This is just part of basic research methods. As an NP myself and someone who practices HAES, please do not try to co-opt “body positivity” while also promoting intentional weight loss and pretending it is about “health.””
