In this episode of the Body Trust Podcast, hosts Dana, Hilary and Sirius discuss common misconceptions around health, weight, and body size. They challenge the strongly held belief that health and size are directly correlated and critique the influence of diet culture, white supremacy, and systemic barriers on these notions. The conversation delves into the misleading narratives of 'healthism' and 'nutritionism,' the social determinants of health, and the harmful impact of concern trolling and weight stigma. They emphasize the importance of redefining health personally and critically examining societal ideologies around health and weight.
