90: Weight Bias vs Weight Stigma: A Guide for the Church w/ Leslie Schilling, MA, RDN, CSCS, CEDS-S - Old School Food Freedom | Lyssna här

If a comment about your body from a pastor, church leader, someone at a potluck, or a doctor has ever left you feeling judged instead of loved, you aren’t alone. We’ve been there, too.

Leslie Schilling is back on the show, and this time she and Chrissy go somewhere hard: weight stigma in the church. Leslie breaks down the difference between weight bias and weight stigma, and why the safest place you know might be where it's hiding. She also offers gentle, honest words you can use to talk with your pastor when a sermon unintentionally lands wrong. Your body has never had anything to do with whether you belong, and that's the conversation here.
