About this episode

Dr. Angela Meadows discusses the implications of weight stigma in the context of the GLP-1 era and its societal impacts.

The Ozempic era did not create weight stigma. It just showed us how shallow the acceptance always was. Dr. Angela Meadows is a social psychologist, weight stigma researcher, and founder of the International Weight Stigma Conference. She has spent her career studying how weight stigma operates at the individual, relational, and systemic level. In this conversation, she brings her research lens directly to the GLP-1 moment. This is the conversation mainstream health is not having. In this episode, you'll learn: Social identity theory — why the GLP-1 era exposed what body positivity was always missing What weight stigma actually is at the structural level, and why interpersonal niceness cannot fix a systemic problem The public health data on GLP-1 that is buried in supplementary materials and not being read How medicalized weight stigma is shifting — and why refusing GLP-1 is becoming its own form of clinical target Whether it is possible to live in this culture and not internalize weight stigma, and what intentional protection requires Mentioned in the show: Beyond GLP-1 Expert Podcast Series: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1 International Weight Stigma Conference…
