102: Hypnosis for Weight Loss and Unlocking Gender Expectations from Fatphobia

Today we have stories of hypnosis for "food addiction" and weight loss and discuss if the method of hypnosis is any more effective than traditional diets for weight loss. I also talk about the intersection of gender identity, performing femininity, and fatphobia. PLUS transracial vs transgender identities.

101: Are Fat People at Higher Risk From COVID?

Now that the panini has been going on for a while the science nerds have been able to collect more evidence to support the idea that fat people are going around eating people in the street and giving them covid. Right? Or are other science boffins telling us something else? Let's look at what we know so far and discuss inequalities in healthcare - and one glaring issue that you may never even heard about. TW: there are some mentions of violent healthcare fatphobia in this episode, plus talk about needles.

100: Is Weight Loss a Mindset Issue?

I held the belief that I was fat because there was something "wrong with my brain" for a long time. Weight is a manifestation of trauma on the body, isn't it? If I had my life together then I'd be thin, right? I talk about how those beliefs are so prevalent in the self-help and online business world. Plus I answer questions on how to tell people to stop talking about weight and diet culture without alienating them (or losing them as your customer!).
