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
