OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
In this episode, I respond to and unpack some of the most common comments I received after the viral Jillian Michaels vs. Body Positivity debate video was published.
I’ll be honest: it took me a long time to record this episode. Reading through hostile and misinformed comments is unpleasant. But I ultimately decided this conversation was worth having, because the comments reveal deep misunderstandings about weight, health, and what ethical nutrition care actually looks like.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why I said that I believe its unethical to encourage weight los ( and how this differs from judging people who choose to pursue weight loss.
- The flawed assumption that a dietitian’s role is to control someone’s body size
- Why weight is not a measure of health
- The criticism I received from fellow dietitians and why this hurt the most
Mentioned in the episode:
- Behind the Scenes of the "Jillian Michaels vs Body Positivity" Debate with Edie Stark
- We Watched The Jillian Michaels Debate Back... And Had Thoughts with Edie Stark
- Unpacking the Viral Jubilee Body Positivity Debate with Marcy Guevara
- You're Not Wrong For Desiring Weight Loss
