Genetics & Just One Bite: Why Being South Asian Feels Like a Full-Time Job

Currently Cringing

In this laugh-out-loud episode, Anisha and friend of the show Aditya dive into the very real struggle of South Asian genetics, food trauma, and body image chaos. From skipping flights because of emergency surgeries to surviving on one bite of a croissant (seriously), she breaks down the generational guilt of daal and rice, chronic bloating, and why weight loss feels like a scam for Indian men and women.

They also unpack what it’s like to always be the before photo, even when you’re living your best, gluten-free, dairy-free, cruelty-free life. Oh—and the part where she might’ve manifested a discontinued chip brand back into existence? Yeah, that too.

If you’ve ever felt bloated, judged by your lunchbox, or personally victimized by your DNA, this one’s for you.
