Description

We all know that diet culture is full of shit, but in this week’s episode of All Fired Up the shit gets REAL. My guest is Jessica Campbell, nutritionist and medical intern, and she could not believe her eyes when she saw a documentary in which larger bodied teenage girls were being given pills full of thin people’s shit, in an effort to ‘cure them’ of their fatness. This documentary is part of a larger research trial currently running in New Zealand into faecal transplants. There is no doubt that research on the gut microbiome is fascinating stuff, but it’s also very much in its infancy. To put teens under such scrutiny and to take such a massive risk is just gobsmacking. We have no idea what the impact of eating other people’s shit will be. And does anyone care about weight stigma?? Don’t miss an incredible discussion about the ethics, impacts and implicit bias of making fat people eat shit.   Show Notes

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!
