Episode 89: We Should Be Talking About Weight Stigma, Not Weight Loss with Maggie Landes

In this week’s episode, Bonnie is joined by Maggie Landes, who is a board-certified physician, public health nutritionist, and anti-diet wellness expert. Her dual-mission is focused on not just helping women in midlife escape the grips of diet culture and recover from their lifelong turbulent relationship with food, but Maggie, in her Pro2Pro services, supports other health professionals to participate in, and

promote, a weight-neutral approach to practice. 

In today’s episode Bonnie & Maggie will discuss: 

• What weight stigma is 
• Harms of weight stigma 
• Ways to advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office
• Language to minimize to reduce weight stigma  
• What to do about weight stigma
