Health Goals That Aren’t Focused on Weight Loss
<p>Today we're asking a question that diet culture has spent decades making sure you never thought to ask: if weight loss wasn’t the goal, what could you actually be working toward for your health? We're covering why weight loss fails as a reliable health goal (and why that failure is biological, not a discipline issue), and why a $72 billion industry structurally depends on its own products not working. Then we get into the health goals that are actually worth pursuing, actually within your control, and have absolutely nothing to do with the number on a scale.</p><p>We talk energy, sleep, mental and emotional health, your relationship with food, cardiovascular health, social connection as a literal health necessity, nervous system regulation, joyful movement, and how to navigate a healthcare system that defaults to weight loss advice regardless of why you walked in. We also hold space for the reality that health isn't equally accessible to everyone and that the barriers to health are often systemic, not personal.</p><p></p><p>✨ <i>Tarot pull of the week: Six of Cups</i></p><p>✨ <i>Journal prompt:</i> How do I want to feel in my body? Not how do I want it to look, but how do I want to feel? And what is one thing I could do this week, that has nothing to do with my weight, that would move me toward that feeling?</p><p><br /></p><p>Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/queersagainstdietculture/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/queersagainstdietculture/</a> </p><p></p><p>Facebook: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581527639476" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581527639476</a></p><p></p><p>Interested in being a guest on this podcast?

The Femininity Tax: What Fat Queer Women Are Expected to Prove
In this episode, we're talking about something that doesn't get named nearly enough: the unspoken expectation that fat queer women perform conventional femininity as compensation for their bodies. Not femininity as self-expression, not femme as a queer identity and aesthetic, but femininity as apology, as proof, as a tax paid to a culture that has already decided your body requires justification. We're tracing where this expectation comes from historically, how capitalism and the plus-size fashion industry cash in on it, why androgyny is a thin person's aesthetic in a way that rarely gets talked about, and what it actually costs (financially, physically, psychologically) to perform a presentation that was never really yours. ✨ Tarot pull of the week: High Priestess Reversed ✨ Journal prompt: Is there a version of yourself, a way of presenting, a style, or an aesthetic, that you've never let yourself try because you didn't think you had the right body type for it? What would it mean to try it anyway?

What is America’s Protein Obsession Really About?
In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on one of wellness culture's most beloved obsessions. We're tracing the protein craze from its roots in 19th century racist nutrition science, through the bodybuilding boom of the 70s and 80s, to the multi-billion dollar supplement industry that depends on your anxiety to function. We're also talking about the flip side: the demonization of carbs, and why the foods being villainized just happen to be the staple foods of most of the world's cultures. We dig into what your body actually needs (probably way less than you've been told), who bears the heaviest burden of protein culture (including queers, fats, and communities of color whose food traditions have been dismissed as inferior by the same system now repackaging and reselling them at a markup) and why protein obsession is one of the most common unrecognized entry points into disordered eating. We close with practical tools to help you start untangling your relationship with protein and the fear of carbs that so often comes with it. ✨ Tarot pull of the week: Three of Pentacles Reversed ✨ Journal prompt: What kind of body have I been told protein will help me achieve? Is that actually what I want, or have I been taught to want it?
