MOVE EAT GIVE by Interrupt Hunger
More than 73% of Americans have overweight or obesity, while more than 12 % have food insecurity. America is getting heavier, sicker, and more isolated from each other every day.
Interrupt Hunger’s motto, MOVE EAT GIVE, reflects our belief that virtually every problem in America could be fixed if we took better care of ourselves and took better care of each other.
Welcome to Interrupt Hunger's MOVE EAT GIVE podcast, where we talk with experts in Exercise Is Medicine, Food Is Medicine and Food Insecurity.
And understanding that knowledge isn't always enough to help you lose weight, every other episode showcases someone who's lost at least 10% body weight to share exactly how they did it.
Interrupt Hunger is a 501c3 nonprofit, which helps you lose weight while feeding the hungry. Bring our free 12-Week Weight Loss Challenge and Donate Your Weight program to the places you live, work, and pray. We fund our mission with sales from our MOVE EAT GIVE bracelets and apparel.

1. Obesity Bias & Stigma | Patty Nece
Out of the countless topics we could have chosen for our first episode, obesity bias & stigma seemed like the right place to start. It's really hard to #loveyourneighbor when we're busy judging them. But when you start to ask why & take time to care, you realize everyone hurts. And as you realize everyone hurts, you'll find judgments are a lot harder to hold onto.
Thanks to Patty Nece for being our first guest! As you'll hear, she's been a top advocate for #obesityrights for years. I think you'll enjoy our conversation -I learned a lot!!
Patty Nece is a past Chairwoman of the Obesity Action Coalition, a current Member of the National Academies of Science Round Table on Obesity Solutions, and has testified many times before the US Food and Drug Administration advocating for improved access to prevention and treatment of obesity.
