Health is complicated, especially for those living in fat bodies. In this episode, we unpack why the term “health” isn’t one-size-fits-all and explore the deep-rooted barriers that keep fat people from seeking medical care. From fatphobic judgment to the lack of compassionate treatment, we share personal experiences and discuss how systemic biases create harmful dynamics in healthcare. Let’s challenge the stigma, demand better, and reimagine what health truly means.

🎙 This is the first episode of our “health” series—stay tuned for more!
