Too many women, especially in midlife, are told that their challenges with weight or energy are simply a matter of “willpower”. We’re met with judgment instead of support, told to “try harder” or “eat less and move more,” as if biology, hormones, and lived experience don’t matter.

In my most recent pod episode, I am thrilled to join Dr. Lauren Streicher to dig into why these messages are not only unhelpful, but harmful AND how reframing the conversation can open the door to compassion, understanding, and better health.

We talk about:
- The limitations of the “willpower” narrative around weight
- The psychological and emotional burden of stigma in health care
- How mental and physical health intersect for women in mid-life
- What a more compassionate, evidence-based approach can look like

If you’re curious about how you can shift the language and mindset around obesity, especially for women navigating complex health changes during menopause, I hope you’ll take a listen.

I had the opportunity to speak to a large in-person and online audience of Chinese physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists about the treatment of eating disorders.

The time difference resulted in a 1:30am start time, which was a first for me, but I managed to shake off the cobwebs enough to emphasize that eating disorders are common in individuals living with higher weight. Often, these disorders go unnoticed because no one thinks to ask.
