31. Surprise! Weight Loss Will Not Save You From Oppression

In this episode hosts Dana, Sirius, and Hilary discuss why weight loss is not a comprehensive solution for healing relationships with food, body image and oppression at large. They explore the relevance of body trust work amidst the rising popularity of GLP-1 medications and emphasize how societal pressures and anti-fat bias contribute to disordered eating and a never-ending cycle of self-criticism. Highlighting the medical industry's failures to address the root causes of body dissatisfaction and oppression, they stress that sustainable healing requires a focus on connection, community, and liberation.
