The Easy Weigh Out
Join Dr. Joy Bracey, a licensed mental health therapist who has spent a lifetime in a fat body, on a journey of self-love, weight loss, and total transformation from the inside out. As Dr. Joy debates getting weight-loss surgery, she loses over 100 pounds along the way, and consults with a spectrum of people in her life, from family to medical professionals, before making her final decision. In this podcast, you will hear raw, eye-opening conversations that will change the way people think about fatness. Dr. Joy’s vulnerability and candor will help people understand and heal all sorts of maladaptive coping mechanisms - but especially emotional eating and body image issues.
