150. Fatness Doesn't Mean What You Think with Chelsea Levy, RD

Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

Body size does NOT equal health status.

Let’s be real: there’s a lot of confusion surrounding weight, health, and chronic illnesses like diabetes and PCOS. And if you’re like me, you’re probably tired of hearing the same old, tired advice. There are so many mixed messages when it comes to health and body size. Especially this myth that being in a larger body means you’re unhealthy.
