Welcome back to Season 2 of Well Undone! For this special themed Season, we're taking a short intermission from our personal stories, and doing a deep dive on understanding why, for some, weight gain can feel so inexplicably terrifying. From delving into Health at Every Size, to getting to grips with weight stigma, fatphobia and discrimination, this six-episode Season is packed with experts both clinical and academic, to help us understand where this all comes from, and how it plays out in our own lives.

Our guest this week is the one and only Dr Lindo Bacon. Internationally renowned author, academic and researcher, Lindo is best known for their paradigm-shifting research and advocacy transforming the discourse on weight and health, and taking it one step further to champion a culture of – to steal their words - empathy, equity and true belonging.

In this episode, we explore Health at Every Size, the impact of weight stigma on health outcomes, and why terms like 'obesity' are just so stigmatising. Lindo addresses some of the common criticisms of Health at Every Size, and generously shares their own personal journey to body acceptance. Moving beyond weight alone, we discuss body privilege in all its forms, and Lindo shares their thoughts on how we can build a society in which all bodies experience respect.
