Imagine visiting your doctor and being prescribed…
Imagine visiting your doctor and being prescribed a pill with a 95% failure rate and then being told it was your fault when it didn’t work? That, in a nutshell is the diet industry. And that is just a small part of the discussion in this podcast. Victoria Welsby (they/them) is a world-leading expert on dismantling fatphobia and diet-culture, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author. They went from being homeless, abused, with self-esteem that was achingly low into the courageous fat activist and change maker they are today. Victoria helps people fall in love with themselves and is dedicated to shifting the way society views fat bodies. In this podcast we discuss embracing fat bodies, the moralization of food, gendered language, being non-binary and dealing with online hate. There is something in this interview for everyone, so meet Victoria, they are awesome.
