Episode 42: The one about health at every size ft. Emma D'Arpino

“When it comes time to talk versus to listen, fat positivity is really a time for thin privileged folks to listen and to learn and to allow fat individuals to have the stage.” - Emma D’Arpino, RD, LDN

In this week’s episode Hannah and Ali talk all things Health at Every Size with the incredible Emma D’Arpino. Emma is the ultimate bad ass: she is a queer, non-diet, fat-positive dietitian, a teaching assistant at Harvard Extension School, a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and the PERFECT person to answer all your questions about Health at Every Size:

• Does health at every size mean healthy at every size?

• Why does BMI get used in health care if it isn’t actually accurate or reliable?

• Is “Thin on the Outside Fat Inside” (TOFI) a real thing?

• Can you believe in fat positivity and still want to be thin?

If you have listened to any episodes of the Let Us Eat Cake Podcast in the last year you have heard Hannah and Ali talk about Health at Every Size many times, but maybe you aren’t exactly clear on what it means or how it can even be possible with the messaging diet culture shoves in our faces. Well this is the episode for you! Pull up a seat because school is in session and as usual Hannah, Ali and Emma are here to bring all the science backed facts.
