Description

Welcome to The Forking Truth

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Nina and Dr. Alisa open up about the harmful societal narratives surrounding fatness and how these beliefs can deeply affect one’s identity and self-worth. They invite listeners to reexamine how fatness is framed in everyday language, media, and even healthcare—challenging the idea that body size should dictate value, morality, or health.

They also explore the emotional toll of internalized fat shame and how gender norms further complicate the relationship many people have with their bodies. 

Through a body-neutral lens, they share how we can start to unlearn deeply embedded biases and move toward acceptance of fat as simply a physical descriptor—nothing more, nothing less.

Key Takeaways:

• We often project societal beliefs onto others without realizing it.
• It's time to question the narratives we've been taught about fatness.
• Society teaches us that fat is the worst thing a person can be.
• Fatness is not a moral failing—it's a body type.
