Willing To Be Wrong

著者: Dr Joshua Wolrich
  • サマリー

  • Fancy being wrong about something? That's a rhetorical question, of course, you don't... no one does. The thing is, once the initial discomfort has passed, it's truly the best way way to grow as a human being. Welcome to Willing To Be Wrong, a podcast with the intention of doing just that. My name is Dr Joshua Wolrich and I'm an NHS surgical doctor, nutrition MSc student, author and accidental influencer. Like all healthcare professionals, I was taught by a system that practises medicine in a weight-normative manner, where a focus on body weight is used to try and define health and wellbeing. After internalising the weight stigma I'd been subject to for years, I left medical school believing that I couldn't be a good doctor if I were fat, prompting further disordered eating and a damaged relationship with food. After a difficult couple of years of being challenged on my beliefs by people far cleverer than me, I now believe that healthcare has to become weight-inclusive if we're ever going to change the massive problem of weight stigma and the both direct and indirect harm it does to patients. Join me as I talk to guests about a wide range of topics from the complex nature of weight and health (and why neither should be treated as a personal responsibility), to nutribollocks such as 'celery juice detoxifies your liver' and why it's utter bullshit. The guests aren't all experts (as that wouldn't be fun) and the questions are rarely pre-prepared, but true conversations tend not to be. My debut book, Food Isn't Medicine: Challenge Nutribollocks & Escape The Diet Trap, is now available for pre-order online on Amazon, Book Depository, and elsewhere. For more information, you can find me on social media @drjoshuawolrich.

  • #9: Anna Sweeney - Navigating Diet Culture as a Dietitian Living with Multiple Sclerosis
    2021/05/16

    Anna Sweeney, MS, RD, LDN, CEDRD-S is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian and Supervisor, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and owner of Whole Life Nutrition Counseling, a weight inclusive nutrition therapy practice dedicated to the thoughtful treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns. She practices nutrition care from a Health at Every Size, social justice forward lens and is dedicated to empowering her clients to notice and refute the influence of diet culture in their lives. Anna is a full-time disabled person living with MS and one of my absolute favourite people to follow and learn from on social media.


    In this episode, Anna talks about some of the impact diet culture has had on her whilst living with MS, including some of the nonsense that goes around such as the Wahls protocols that are often sold as a supposed cure. She also talks about her work with eating disorders and why we urgently need to stop attributing them to a certain body size.

    Anna can be found on social media @dietitiananna and online at wholeliferd.com.

  • #8: Zoe Pearce - Living with Lipoedema
    2021/05/09

    In this episode, I get to have a conversation with the wonderful Zoe Pearce, a 28-year-old mother of two from the north of England who was diagnosed with Lipoedema at the age of 24, although it was something she recognises as having had since her teenage years. For the last few years, she’s been trying to do as much as possible to spread awareness about the chronic condition, whilst at the same time learning to accept her body. In this episode, we talk about what Lipoedema actually is and how it affects her, and why it’s a condition that so many people (including medical professionals) treat as something that isn't real.

    Zoe can be found on social media @thickthighs.positivevibes. If you want to learn more about Lipoedema please check out the charities Lipoedema UK and Talk Lipoedema if you're from the UK, or the Lipedema Foundation if you're based in the US.

  • #7: Sarah Nicole Landry - #PassTheMic, Privilege, Detoxes and Cupcakes
    2021/04/11

    In this episode, I get to have a conversation with the fantastic Sarah Nicole Landry who is a body confidence advocate, speaker, writer, model, weekly podcast host, and mother to 4 kids (the youngest of which is only a few months old). We talk about the hashtag #PassTheMic, and why it's so crucial not just to 'sit down and shut up' on topics such as body image, but to pass the mic to content creators with less privilege than ourselves.

    We then go on to talk about a range of other things, from ice baths to detoxing... but the most crucial coming right at the end when we set the world to rights about which is better: cupcakes or cake.


    Sarah can be found both on social media @thebirdspapaya and also hosting The Papaya Podcast.
