In this solo episode of The Body Grievers Club, Bri gets real about the question she hears constantly: “Can I be fat and healthy?” She unpacks why “health” is not a moral scorecard, why definitions matter, and how fear and shame sneak into our health journeys. Drawing from her clinical background and lived experience, Bri reframes health as amoral, explores correlation vs. causation in weight research, and offers practical ways to pursue care without handing your humanity to a BMI chart.
