Talking with Emma: Stop fighting food & weight · 62: Weight-Neutral Health in Midlife with Niki Bezzant · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

There is so much happening in the science world and it's so easy to interpret it incorrectly.

So I love that you do that.

And I want to start by, I have noticed over a couple of decades with not just your work, but with most, well, with a lot of people's work in women's health and health in general, that we have changed our approach of thinking about weight to a more weight neutral approach.

So I want to start at the beginning.

Have you always believed in weight neutral or where did that start for you?

was I have a history of having an eating disorder, which I share very freely, but I don't talk about a lot because I don't work with people who have eating disorders.

But it is one of the things that you have to grapple with with an eating disorder is that you have internalized this idea of your value as a person rests on your size, regardless of where you sit on that spectrum.

And you're saying you had to grapple with that in midlife.

So how did that actually, what was that like for you?

Interesting.

So suddenly your lived experience caught up with the experience of so many women who have lived that for many years before even that midlife change happens.

If our genes are the way they are, we're up against the impossible.

Yeah.

It is, and it almost encapsulates all the work I do with women.

As we know, women come to me and they often have so much information about health and well-being, but they're so distressed living in the body, the size it is or the way it looks, that they can't even get to just taking care of it.

So I love hearing that message from someone who has had very little experience

experience of not liking her body over the years is that what i'm hearing right yeah i'm yeah and yet it's still it is challenging to get your head into a and i just say it into a do it for health not look perspective yeah yeah and it's helpful for people to hear that it's not just about their body it's a whole woman's experience

Absolutely.

That's a very, and it requires, I mean, this is something I could talk about all week.

But it is a mindset and it requires understanding, you know, why we've got that belief in the first place, tracing back and then really understanding it can change.
