#105: Dr. Lindo Bacon: Radical Belonging and the Politics of Health

How does being marginalized impact a person’s health and physiology? Dr. Lindo Bacon, who has spent their career advocating for social justice at the intersection of weight and health, joins this episode to share about their newest book, Radical Belonging: How to Survive and Thrive in an Unjust World (While Transforming it for the Better). In conversation with Opal Co-Founder Julie Church and host and therapist Carter Umhau, Lindo shares how their experience of  being other-ed for their gender identity led them into their research on interpersonal neurobiology, and why self-help won’t save us.    Links: Learn more about Dr. Lindo Bacon and their work at https://lindobacon.com/ Dr. Lindo Bacon on Instagram: @lindobacon Twitter and Facebook: @LindoBaconX   Connect with Opal:  www.opalfoodandbody.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Opalfoodandbodywisdom/ Instagram: @opalfoodandbody Twitter: https://twitter.com/opalfoodandbody?lang=en Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/OpalFoodandBody/videos      Thank you to our team...
