The first season of Beyond A Dress Size podcast explores the most important component of life beyond a dress size which is . . . .our bodies. Too often, we tend to treat our bodies as if it were something that needed fixing so we can finally live our lives freely *no thanks to the messages we receive from society and the media*. What we fail to realize is that we are our bodies and whatever messages we send to our bodies permeates every other aspect of our lives especially our self-esteem as women.
We also dig deep into body diversity – the concept that different bodies of this world come in different shapes and size, the appreciation of our bodies and that of others and how we can approach our bodies and that of others with kindness and compassion.
Hosted by Dr. Ezinne Meribe of Zinnyslifestyle, Beyond a Dress Size podcast creates stimulating conversations with the sole purpose of empowering women to OWN and LOVE their bodies and LIVE in it fabulously.
In this episode, our guest is Dr. Nneka Chima who is also a physician and Public Health expert. The conversation sheds more light on why it is more important that people of all sizes pursue health and not weight loss or fad diets. Most importantly, “people in bigger bodies are not unhealthy, lazy, unworthy of love and belonging or less smart. Let’s pursue and promote health for people of all sizes. We can’t all be a size 6 but we can all be healthy”.
The goal is to throw more light on what other health indicators we should all pursue and realize that health is not defined by the number on the scale.
