  • Avoidable Deaths or Avoided Care | Weight Stigma & Health Care in New Brunswick
    Jan 21 2026

    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.

  • Ozempic for Less? Generic Versions Hit Canada — Game Changer or Risk?
    Jan 14 2026

    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.

    👇 Join the conversation: Would you consider a generic version of Ozempic for weight loss? Why or why not?

  • The Weight of Time: Aging, Obesity, and the Body’s Changing Rules
    Nov 19 2025

    In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we dig into a topic a lot of people feel but rarely talk about openly — how aging and obesity shape each other. As we get older, the rules of our bodies seem to change overnight. Muscle loss, slower metabolism, joint pain, fatigue… everything hits differently, and living in a bigger body adds another layer that can feel overwhelming.

    We share our personal experiences with aging, the fears that come with it, and the awkward truth that some things simply get harder. But we also talk about what we’re learning — how to adapt, how to be kind to ourselves, and how to build a life that works with our bodies instead of fighting against them.

    If you’ve ever wondered why “getting older” feels extra complicated when you’re living large, this episode is for you.

    Let’s get real, get honest, and learn to age on our own terms.
