Always talk to a doctor who can review your personal records and labs to make the safest choices for you." A Note Before You Listen: Our guest uses the term fat rather than obesity because that's the language of her community. At The Plus SideZ, we believe listening to different perspectives helps us better understand one another. If this language doesn't feel right for you, it's okay to honor that boundary and skip this episode. The GLP-1 and body positivity communities are often portrayed as being at odds. But do they share more common ground than we realize? In this episode, we sit down with Tigress Osborn, Executive Director of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), to better understand the fat acceptance movement, the language it uses, and how it views obesity, GLP-1 medications, healthcare, body image, and weight stigma. Together, we explore where these communities differ, where they overlap, and whether listening to one another can lead to greater understanding. Whether you agree or disagree, our goal isn't to debate or sway. It's to listen, learn, consider a different perspective, and better understand one another.
