In this compelling episode, Diversity Focus Today brings together the expertise of Dr. Debrah Miller, MD, a specialist in Obesity Medicine, and the creative insight of spoken word artist Terra “Poetry in Motion” Cooks to tackle the multifaceted nature of obesity—beyond the scale and into the heart of lived experience.

Together, we explore obesity as a complex, chronic disease, discussing the medical challenges of sustainable weight loss, the limitations of conventional treatments, and the critical role of body fat distribution in determining health outcomes. The conversation also addresses the dangers of rapid weight loss culture and the real risks associated with “quick fix” solutions.

What sets this episode apart is a dynamic look at the artistic and cultural representation of obesity—how health, identity, and body image are expressed through creative mediums. Through this lens, we explore how art can challenge stigma, support emotional healing, and open space for more inclusive narratives around wellness.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in health equity, body diversity, and the intersection of science and self-expression.
