Description

Our guest this week is none other than the fabulous Fiona Sutherland from Body Positive Australia and The Mindful Dietitian. Fiona is also one of our amazing UNTRAPPED guides! In this episode we talk about weight-inclusive health care, and why all bodies deserve to be treated respectfully at the doctor no matter what size! We talk about how weight bias gets in the way of seeing the true complexity of people's health, and how terms such as 'atypical anorexia' (meaning, anorexia in a larger body) are totally screwed up. We then talk about how to EMPOWER yourself and stand up for better treatment.

Welcome to the All Fired Up podcast, with your host Louise Adams!  Louise is by nature a mild mannered clinical psychologist, but her alter ego – a FIERCE and fearless anti-diet crusader – is taking over! Louise specialises in helping people recover from disordered eating, and she’s COMPLETELY OVER trying to help people when the culture we live in is utterly sick, toxic, and screwed up when it comes to food, exercise, health, and body size.  Louise cannot for a second longer take the rampant injustice of a society obsessed with thinness and health. She can’t STAND how fat people are being treated like second class citizens. She is LIVID about the way weight science is being sold to make a buck off human misery.  And she’s SO OVER the diet bulls**t that she’s shelved her own introversion and started a podcast!  So welcome to All Fired Up!, where Louise delves deeply into diet culture and blows it the hell up! Each week we’ll meet brave and fascinating anti-diet warriors who are also fighting for equality, justice, and freedom. Join us, and get All Fired Up! about building a better world!
