The Real Reasons Why Being Higher Weight Can Lead to Negative Health Outcomes (it’s not the weight!)

In this week’s solo episode, we dive into this question:

If weight is not an indicator of health, than how do you explain the “research” suggesting that being fat leads to worse health outcomes? We discuss:

• The fundamental issue with asserting that correlation  equals causation in weight research
• The harms of weight stigma (including medical weight stigma)
• The harms of weight cycling
• How to know if you can trust anti-diet research

Before diving into the episode, I give a quick life update.
