Ragen Chastain is a speaker, writer, trained researcher, multi-certified health and fitness professional, and thought leader in Weight Science, Weight Stigma, and Weight-Neutral Health.
On the podcast, Ragen shares her discovery that diets don\u2019t lead to long-term weight loss. She shares the pivotal moment when she knew she couldn\u2019t just be a fat dancer, she had to be a fat activist, why healthism can\u2019t ever excuse fatphobia, how diet culture has hijacked health and healthcare, the history of BMI, and why we all need to challenge the assumption that poor health has to do with being in a big body.\xa0
Ragen is a national dance champion, triathlete, and marathoner who holds the Guinness World Record for Heaviest Woman to Complete a Marathon, and co-founded the Fit Fatties Facebook group which has over 11,000 members. Ragen lives in LA with her fianc\xe9e Julianne and their two adorable dogs.
