Diab*sity: The Weight Loss Industry's Favourite Couple

Send us Fan Mail The marriage between diabetes and ob*sity is nothing more than a PR stunt dressed up as medicine — and it's been running for 25 years. In this episode, I expose how the pharmaceutical industry invented a fictional condition called prediabetes to create a market of 115 million Americans, and then quietly funded the guidelines that put weight loss at the top of the treatment agenda. This one's personal: I have diabetes and I'm done carrying the shame they built for us. My book, No Weigh: Everything You've Been Told About Weight Loss Is a Lie, is now available to preorder.
