About the show

Weighty Conversations is a podcast about the human side of weight. Hosted by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky and dietitian Summer Kessel, each episode walks through one person's story from childhood to now. The ups, the downs, the diets that worked for a while, and the ones that fell apart. Less science, more real life. If you have ever wondered why your body seems to fight you while everyone else eats normally, these are the stories you have been looking for.
