199: Ozempic/Wegovy (GLP 1s) - Where Are We Now? (Part 1)
Fierce Fatty Podcast
Wegovy, (often referred to as Ozempic) was approved by the FDA in June 2021. Now that we have lived 4 years of a GLP frenzied hellscape, there must be new data on how well GLP1’s work and how many lives they have saved. The numbers must be pretty impressive right? Hint: It’s not impressive…not at all. Join me for part one of this deep dive into these (not so) new weight loss drugs where I share exactly how much weight people lose, if it improves their health (or worsens it), and all sorts of other nonsense that has been happening in the ensuing years after the press heralded Wegovy as a...

198: The Ultimate Harm: Fat in Healthcare
Fierce Fatty Podcast
Some people think that anti-fat bias is just about flippant comments, hurt feelings and harmless jokes. What many don’t realize is that anti-fat bias can be deadly.

Tam shares the story of her husband, James, father of 2 children, who died aged 37.

197: Liberals Love Fat Shaming People They Don’t Like
Fierce Fatty Podcast
Have you seen the JD Vance memes that have been circulating the internet? In them, the meme creators have increased his body size to make him look fat and then laugh at the idea of him being fat. That’s the joke. So hilarious (/s). JD Vance who is a horrible human, is being critiqued because of his appearance. This is a common theme in left-leaning circles - if someone is awful, then a great way to humiliate them is to focus on what they look like. Does this mean that “anti-fat bias is the last socially acceptable form of discrimination,” or is something else going on? Episode show...

195: Fat Harm: The Medical Model of Fatness
Fierce Fatty Podcast
How can we convince healthcare providers to examine the harm they cause when they tell fat people to lose weight and deny us care? It can be pretty hard to realize that you haven’t been providing evidence-based care so it’s a challenge! That’s where the work of the disability community comes in with their medical and social models of disability. This lets us communicate how medicalizing fatness is not helpful in the same way it’s not helpful for many in the disability community. Alongside that, let’s talk about harm reduction ideas! We’re getting deep today, come join me :) Episode...

info_outlineWith the news of the cause of death for Lisa Marie Presley recently I thought it was time to expand the list of famous people who have died at the hands of fat hate or diet culture. The first part is episode 145, but you don’t need to listen to that before this episode. I am talking about famous people who had overwhelming pressure to be thin and died trying or their life was damaged because of that. It’s a pretty tough episode so please skip if you need to. TW: Fat hate/diet culture leading to death.
