The podcast episodes on obesity address the issue of obesity stigma and the importance of destigmatizing obesity as a physiological condition.

In the episode 'Obesity and the new science of weight loss | Dr. Louis J Aronne', Dr. Aronne emphasizes the need to destigmatize obesity and treat it as a medical condition rather than a personal failing. He discusses how obesity is a complex, physiological condition that is influenced by various factors, including genetics, hormones, and the brain's role in weight regulation.

The episode 'What Weight Tells Us about Our Health' also indirectly addresses the stigma and societal biases often faced by individuals with obesity, and the importance of challenging these assumptions and focusing on overall health rather than just weight.
