Diet Culture, Self-Love and the Patriarchy

Are you actively trying to lose weight? Have you ever groaned when a fat person sat next to you on an airplane? When was the last time you looked in the mirror and were really, truly happy with what you saw?

Have you ever *really* considered where those stories in your head about weight, beauty and worthiness came from? In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism.

In this episode, Jill discusses her personal journey with body shame, as well as radical self-love, anti-fatness, diet culture, the patriarchy, how the healthcare system treats fat people, and more.
