I was really hoping to get something out of this episode as a Pregnant Person who failed my glucose test (163). But over halfway through the show and they haven't talked about gestational diabetes! I appreciate that the women being interviewed had a medical event happen to her. And I appreciate that she is a dietician who lives for health. But. Why not interview a woman of size who is also a dietician? why not interview a dietician who had gestational diabetes? Why not make this HAES friendly? I had to stop because the humble bragging about her health felt too triggering and shamey and too long to try and wait for gestational diabetes help.
This is so good! if you want to know how a working Mom feels returning to work, even if she LOVES her job, this episode nails it. We feel like we are failing, but they are right, the system is failing families.
