Episode 140: Welcome back to Real Health Radio, today is a solo episode diving into the research on weight stigma.
This week it’s a solo episode, and I’m covering a topic I’ve wanted to address for a long time: weight stigma. I talk about what it is, what impacts it has on our lives, and I review two papers that try and understand the implications and potential health effects it can have on people.
