The Wake-Up Moment on Health and Wokeness

Jillian Michaels emphasizes a significant turning point in her perspective on health and societal norms, which began in 2019. When questioned about celebrating Lizzo's obesity, she realized the societal pressures surrounding health discussions and the resulting backlash she faced for her candid opinion. This incident highlighted the politicalization of health issues, causing Michaels to perceive a growing intolerance for diverse viewpoints, especially in a field that should be about well-being. She acknowledges the fears that come with voicing her opinions but feels empowered through her collaboration with figures like Bill Maher, who encourage fearless discussions on health topics.
