Description

The language we use around obesity can be complicated and complex.
In this week's episode, Laura unpacks two different styles of language used when speaking about obesity:
People First Language vs Identity First Language.

Language is a powerful tool. It shapes how we think about and understand the world and the people in it. The way we speak not only effects our self thoughts, but it also can set a standard for how people interact with us and the languageage they choose to use with us. It also can provide an opportunity to education others on the impact their words can have on someone.

Listen in and learn more. 
Remember, when you talk about yourself, you and your body are listening.

We are excited to bring you these educational and inspiring stories from someone that has been treating the chronic disease of obesity her whole life.
