In this episode, Michelle pulls back the curtain on a word we’ve all been taught to accept as “neutral” and “medical”: ob*sity. She explores the racist roots of anti-fatness, how BMI became a proxy for health, and why this language does real harm in exam rooms, research, and everyday conversations. If you’ve ever felt labeled, shamed, or confused by the word “ob*se,” this episode will give you context, language, and a new way to think about bodies and health.
