In this episode of Amplified, Ellen is joined by clinical psychologist and weight-inclusive health advocate Louise Adams for our first Bold Story. Together, Louise unpacks the controversial Lancet article “Definition and diagnostic criteria of clinical o*esity, exploring who commissioned it, how it was constructed, and the scientific and clinical flaws it contains.They also highlight what’s missing: the voices of those with lived experience and insights from size-inclusive organisations.
A gentle heads-up: this episode contains frequent use of o-word rhetoric due to the nature of the content. If that feels like too much right now, we fully support you skipping it. That said, Louise and Ellen aim to offer an empowering perspective—reminding listeners that just because something is published doesn’t make it accurate. We hope this episode leaves you feeling informed and validated.
