#013: Fighting Stigma with Research, Education, and Advocacy - Dr. Rebecca Puhl

In this podcast, we spoke to Dr. Rebecca Puhl, an internationally renowned expert on weight stigma and a professor of human development and family sciences at the University of Connecticut. We discussed how we as a society should understand stigma, how new anti-obesity drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy might affect weight stigma, and why it’s so important for doctors and other healthcare professionals to work across research, education, and advocacy. Today’s show is perfect for anyone excited about public health approaches to tackling obesity or just intrigued by the relationship between stigma, discrimination, and health.
