Kate and Isaiah Living Large

In this episode, we dig into a recent NPR article that explores how health conditions like obesity, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses could impact immigration and visa decisions in the U.S.
We break down the broader implications of these policies, talk honestly about what we agree with, what makes us uncomfortable, and where we think the line between public policy and discrimination starts to blur. As people who live in larger bodies, this conversation hits close to home — and raises big questions about fairness, access, and who gets to decide what makes someone “worthy” of entry.
Is this about protecting systems, or excluding people based on health?Where does personal responsibility end and systemic bias begin?
👇 We want to hear from you:Do you think health conditions should affect immigration decisions?Is this reasonable policy — or a dangerous precedent?

Everyone online seems to have a new “health trend” — but are they actually healthy… or just harmful in disguise?
In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we go through BuzzFeed’s list of the most unhealthy health trends of 2025 and give our honest, unfiltered reactions. From viral wellness advice to diet culture rebranded as “self-care,” we break down what made us pause, what made us laugh, and what genuinely concerns us — especially as people living in larger bodies.
We talk about:
Why some “health trends” feel more dangerous than helpful
How diet culture keeps reinventing itself
The pressure to be “healthy” at all costs
What real, sustainable health actually looks like for us
This episode isn’t about shaming — it’s about real talk, lived experience, and calling out nonsense when we see it.

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.

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.
