Are people dying because they ignored their health — or because the system failed them first? In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we react to a CBC report on avoidable deaths in New Brunswick and unpack the real reasons people delay or avoid medical care. We talk weight stigma, fear of doctors, rural health care gaps, and why “just take responsibility” isn’t the full story. This is an honest, uncomfortable conversation you don’t hear often — especially from people living in bigger bodies.

Generic versions of Ozempic are becoming available in Canada, and for many people struggling with obesity, this could be a major shift in how weight loss is accessed — or it could raise new concerns.

In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we break down what generic Ozempic in Canada actually means. We talk about affordability, accessibility, safety, side effects, and whether these medications are being positioned as a realistic weight-loss tool or just another trend.

We also explore the emotional and mental side of weight-loss drugs: hope vs. hype, fear vs. curiosity, and how people living in larger bodies are being impacted by the growing pressure to “medicate” weight loss.

This is an honest, real-life conversation — not medical advice — from people navigating these questions in real time.
