Weight-inclusive medical doctor Mónica Peralta joins us to discuss weight stigma in medicine, her shift from sharing her “weight-loss journey” on social media to specializing in weight-inclusive care, and her experiences as both a physician and a higher-weight patient. In a deeper dive for paid subscribers, we get into GLP-1s and eating disorders, the importance of support when discontinuing GLP-1s, and why she’s hopeful that hype about the drugs won’t last forever. This episode is cross-posted from our other podcast, Rethinking Wellness.
