78. The Burden of Excess Weight on Your Mental Health and Wellbeing

A sound mind in a sound body. 

Same as how poor mental health causes excess weight, obesity also entails physical and mental challenges, which all take a toll on one’s mental health. ‘Perfect’ images have been planted in our heads, with all the “must have’s” portrayed by the media and our norms.

Having this said, have you ever thought about how you could combat the negative effects circulating around your weight and mental health?

As we reach the end of this month, be empowered as Dr. Adrienne educates us, again, on how we can better take care of our health. Remember, change is just within reach. We are holding the key towards living the life we’ve always wanted to live.

Dr. Adrienne Youdim is a board-certified Internist and is the host of the podcast Healthy Bite. She specializes in medical weight loss and nutrition, and she is aiming to transform the weight loss narrative into one that is both empowering and compassionate – inspiring people to live more physically and emotionally fulfilling lives through evidence-based strategies that actually show results.

Through her podcast, Dr. Adrienne debunks all myths in the current weight loss culture and supports people in living the life they deserve as they work on becoming the best version of themselves.

In this episode, Dr. Adrienne discusses the connection between excess weight and one’s mental health and wellbeing as she reminds us all that change should still start from within. 

What you will learn from this episode:

Discover the reflecting relationship between excess weight and poor mental health; Find out how media, as well as our societal and cultural norms affect one’s negative perfection of his/her body; andUnderstand that the discrimination also comes from within, so it is of importance that we check how we treat ourselves

"What's good for the mind is good for the body, and what's good for the body is good for the mind."– Dr. Adrienne Youdim
