Food, We Need To Talk WBUR

We want to tell you about another great podcast: Inappropriate Questions from the CBC.

Inappropriate Questions is back with Season! Hosts Elena Hudgins Lyle, a queer millennia, and Harvinder Wadhwa, a dad, talk to people who have been asked uncomfortable questions like: “Did you lose weight?” or “How old are you?” or “Can I speak to your manager?” Each episode unpacks where these questions come from and explores more respectful ways to get curious.

From weight stigma to the "Health At Every Size" movement, Eddie and Juna dig into the complex issue of body image with Dr. Mark Berman, Dr. Lesley Williams, Janet Tomiyama, Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford and Sal Distefano.

Juna reveals that she is battling an eating disorder and explores how and why dieting can tip into problem territory, and what to do about it.

Experts in this episode include Jenny Thomas, co-director of the Eating Disorders Clinical and Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and Kristin Javaras, clinical psychologist at McLean Hospital.

Want a flat stomach? A faster metabolism? Maybe to get rid of that cellulite? Well, there's a supplement for that.

If only it were so easy... But as with most things in life, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Guests in this episode include champion lifter Layne Norton and Dr. Pieter Cohen.

Juna and Eddie answer listeners' questions about exercise, from "how much is enough" to "how much is too much?"
