It’s time to address the elephant in the room - Ozempic.

We know that Ozempic will change - and is already changing - the body image landscape. There is so much noise online, in the media and in our personal lives about the so called ‘miracle’ drug - so we decided to call in the help of an expert, to clear up the myths from the facts.

Dr Giles Yeo is a professor at the University of Cambridge, whose research focuses on food intake, genetics and obesity. We got him in the studio to answer all the questions we had about Ozempic - to help us understand the science behind the drug that everyone is talking about.

The body image landscape is changing in front of our eyes - and we have Ozempic to blame - or thank - for that.

For the last few years - Ozempic has been the topic that has dominated the cultural conversation. Is it the silver bullet to help us with our body image or are pharmaceutical companies taking advantage of our collective desire to be thin?

In this episode we speak to a doctor who is an expert on Ozempic, a psychologist and someone who has taken the drug to dig right to the core of this thorny, controversial topic.

Is Ozempic a miracle or is it causing more damage than it’s worth? We don’t know where it’s going to end - but we know for certain that this isn’t the last we’ll hear of the drug.

After growing up in a world that teaches us to hate our bodies - how can we come to feel at peace with, or even begin to feel positive about our bodies? And what happens when the movement that made you feel better about your body shifts to a position you no longer align with?

Stephanie Yeboah is a content creator, author and journalist - and we spoke to her as part of our exploration of the body positivity movement. It was a movement that she was closely associated with, but one that she has moved away from in recent years. In this extended edition of our conversation we find out why - and how we can move forward in dismantling fatphobia as a society.

If you’re listening to this episode, we reckon it’s safe to say you’re well aware of the body positivity movement, or at the very least, one of the fractions of its evolution; whether that be the self love movement or body confidence one. It’s within those, after all, that we really made our names.

Today, we’re taking you back to the inception of the body positive movement, which started by and for plus-size black women. In this episode, we dive into how the movement has changed beyond recognition - and where its future may lie.

Have you ever felt bombarded by the information on the internet about heath and wellness? Today on the podcast - we’re speaking to a man who can clear everything up for us.

Dr Joshua Wolrich is an NHS doctor, nutritionist and the Sunday Times bestselling author of “Food Isn’t Medicine”. When we started our body image series - we knew we had to speak to him to understand his take on the “wellness” rebrand of the 2010s - when diet culture shifted to a focus on “health”.

You can go back to Monday’s episode to hear more of our exploration of the wellness era - but in this episode, you’ll hear our chat with Dr Joshua in full to as he debunks the health myths that defined the wellness era - and beyond.

Welcome back to the second part of our investigation of the “wellness” era. In the first part of this episode, we found out that the era is actually not over at all. Many of us still carry beliefs and behaviours from that time - and today we’re going to attempt to uncover what’s true and what’s just utter nonsense….

The 2010s is a time we have come to think of as the ‘wellness’ rebrand. The era in which we declared that we wanted to be ‘strong not skinny’ and that we discarded what we now thought of as ‘fad’ diets and traded them in for consistent ‘healthy’ living. Skin and bones were out, toned arms, visible abs and curves in all the right places were in.

Today we’re investigating if by replacing thinness as the thing to which we should aspire to with “healthy”, many of us fell into a false sense of healing, not realising how unhealthy our new and ‘healthy’ habits really were….

Colette Foster was the executive producer of Channel 4’s factual entertainment show Supersize vs Superskinny.

The show was hosted by Dr Christian Jessen and each week it saw two contestants, one overweight and one underweight, swap diets whilst at a Feeding Clinic, under the supervision of Dr Jessen. Both participants were shown the extent of their poor diet.

This week, we have been exploring the role that television played on how we feel about our bodies - and we were thrilled when Colette agreed to come and speak to us. We were keen to find out about the inception of Supersize vs Superskinny, what safeguarding was in place for contributors and how the production team reacted to criticism directed at the show.

Colette is founder and Creative Director of Full Fat TV, a new factual entertainment company based in Birmingham, focusing on factual entertainment and feature formats with an emphasis on emerging talent. You can read about their work here: https://fullfattv.co.uk/
