About this listen

The obesity epidemic is getting worse—because our approach is all wrong.

In Fat and Failing: Why Our Current Approach to Obesity Isn’t Working, prepare to challenge everything you think you know about obesity. With rates skyrocketing and standard interventions falling short, this eye-opening book digs deep into the true causes behind the crisis—and provides a compassionate roadmap for real, lasting change.

Through a compelling blend of science, personal stories, and social insight, this book explores the far-reaching impact of obesity—from childhood trauma and mental health challenges to its links with infertility, heart disease, and cancer. It sheds light on why restrictive diets and quick-fix plans continue to fail, and what we can do instead.

Whether you're a healthcare provider, policymaker, educator, or someone personally affected by obesity, this book empowers you to understand the root of the issue and implement strategies that work. From pregnancy to adolescence, and into adulthood, every stage of life is addressed with empathy, evidence, and practical steps.

It’s time to stop blaming and start transforming. It’s time to rewrite the story of obesity—one grounded in understanding, science, and sustainable solutions.
