“The podcast is helpful in many ways, but it broke my heart that Dr. Hyman talked about the embarrassment of obesity and how he was amazed that people who have paraplegia and use wheelchairs are “surprisingly” considered less embarrassing than being obese. Neither obesity nor paraplegia should be shamed! As a wheelchair user due to paralysis after a bad reaction to a flu shot, I don’t appreciate being told I should be embarrassed to be in a wheelchair! It is difficult to get around and I shouldn’t be ashamed of my disability. I understand he was trying to be motivational, but it was immature to belittle people in this manner.”
