This is what you need to know about this week’s episode of The Whole View podcast: my activity tracking ring showed high activity during recording, more intense than my morning walk with the dog! That’s how much exuberant hand talking I was doing because I was so riled up.

This week, we dove into the research showing that weight discrimination and the stigma associated with overweight and obesity are far more damaging than the extra weight itself (and actually being overweight may be protective!). The studies trying to separate out these effects are so innovative and fascinating. Truly, prepping this podcast was life-changing for me, and my mind is blown!
