This is a special series on the Body Kindness podcast with Dietitian Glenys Oyston. We want to talk about weight and diabetes because it’s a myth that dominates diabetes care… and there is so much to unpack.
We discuss…
- What is weight cycling and how is it harmful to mind/body health?
- Why do doctors stress weight loss for diabetes care and why don’t they ask for consent?
- The marketing flaws and treatment advice that encourage restriction and weight loss.
- HAES Health Sheets for Diabetes and other health concerns
- Self reflections to help you focus on your values to be kind and compassionate with weight neutral approaches to caring for yourself with diabetes.
- First take three big deep breaths and just let yourself settle…
- Then ask yourself “please allow me to approach this with a curious and open heart.”
- “How will life be better for me if I don’t emphasize losing weight as a goal for diabetes care?”
- “How could my life be more difficult if I choose to diet?”
- Body Kindness Episode 71: Athletes at Every Size and The Plight of the “Fit Fatty” with Ragen Chastain, Guinness World Record Holder, Speaker, and Fat Activist
