On this episode of The Body Trust Podcast Hilary and Sirius invite Body Trust provider and therapist Christina Burrell to discuss survivorship. Christina discusses dissociation, compartmentalization, bodily autonomy, and the cultural context of Me Too. Christina describes running a small Body Trust foundations group for queer survivors and emphasizes explicit, consistent invitations that communicate “all of you is welcome here,” noting healing cannot be thought through alone and must connect to collective movement toward “the horizon of love.”

On this episode of The Body Trust Podcast, Hilary, Sirius and Dana discuss the intentions behind their free ethical care guidelines for GLP-1 medications. They critique weight-centric healthcare, industry-influenced research, and an “ethics” focus limited to rationing and allocation rather than relational care, informed consent, and “do no harm.” Centering body autonomy, they stress that true consent requires unbiased information and freedom from coercion, including weight stigma and medical gaslighting. They highlight risks such as deaths, weight cycling, and inadequate eating-disorder screening, including concerns about people developing or worsening eating disorders on GLP-1s. They describe practical elements of weight-inclusive care, identify clinical red flags, and encourage patients and providers to use the guidelines to ask better questions while recognizing systemic anti-fat bias cannot be solved by individual weight loss.

On this episode Hilary, Sirius and Dana welcome Center for Body Trust program coordinator and coach Meg Bradbury to discuss orthorexia. Meg shares their background and describes growing up with body shaming, prior eating disorder histories, and how “healthy eating” escalated into orthorexia. The hosts unpack the overlap orthorexia has with influencer culture, toxic masculinity, and white-supremacist-coded “purity” narratives, and warn about restrictive medical/naturopathic food advice. Meg underscores the importance of recovery support by way of community, patience and non-linear healing.
