Out of the countless topics we could have chosen for our first episode, obesity bias & stigma seemed like the right place to start. It's really hard to #loveyourneighbor when we're busy judging them. But when you start to ask why & take time to care, you realize everyone hurts. And as you realize everyone hurts, you'll find judgments are a lot harder to hold onto.
Thanks to Patty Nece for being our first guest! As you'll hear, she's been a top advocate for #obesityrights for years. I think you'll enjoy our conversation -I learned a lot!!
Patty Nece is a past Chairwoman of the Obesity Action Coalition, a current Member of the National Academies of Science Round Table on Obesity Solutions, and has testified many times before the US Food and Drug Administration advocating for improved access to prevention and treatment of obesity.
