In this podcast, you'll get to meet my guest, Amanda Martinez Beck, the creator of The Fat Dispatch —a newsletter that explores fatness beyond weight loss, aiming to challenge societal stigma and diet culture.
Amanda Martinez Beck shared the motivations behind creating The Fat Dispatch, which provides a critique of diet culture, and ways to promote body acceptance.
Amanda and I are talking about navigating a world that is full of anti-fatness while also addressing nuanced perspectives on GLP-1s. During our discussion, we jumped into the deep end of the pool. We discussed the intersectionality of stigma, the myth of "calories in, calories out," and the importance of self-compassion and grace in contrast to restrictive diet culture.
