The weight loss industry has convinced us that being fat is a personal failure—a consequence of eating too much and moving too little. But the truth is far more complex and liberating. Your weight is controlled by genetics, epigenetics, environmental factors, trauma, chronic stress, and systems of oppression that were intentionally designed to control marginalized bodies. 

In this episode, I break down the scientific evidence showing why the "calories in, calories out" narrative is a lie, explore how everything from urbanization to discrimination drives weight gain through cortisol, and reveal how this cycle of blame was always rooted in anti-Black racism, capitalism, and misogyny. It's time to shift responsibility from individuals to the systems and institutions whose literal job it is to address these conditions—because you didn't break this, and you shouldn't have to fix it.
