Description
Have you ever been made to feel like you are to blame for a medical condition like diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure or gestational diabetes? More specifically, have you been told that your body size has caused you to experience a particular condition? If so, you are not alone. Listen along as Julie Dillon helps unpack the unfair stereotypes often associated with being in a higher weight body. Episode's Key Points: The label of "obesity" as a disease is problematic. Being at a higher weight is unfairly associated with many stigmas and misconceptions. For example, anorexia nervosa at a higher weight is actually the most common way to experience it. Weight is just one anthropometric measurement like blood pressure, temperature, etc. It doesn't mean it causes any condition/disease but rather could indicate that we need to dig deeper for a root issue. No one is to blame for their body size nor is one's body size something to feel shame about. Simply being alive means we are valuable and worthy. Intuitive eating can be utilized by everyone, no matter their body size or any conditions they may be experiencing.
