Health at Every Size, or HAES, is a framework for health, wellness and medical care that considers all bodies to be worthy of dignified and respectful care as they exist right now.

This amazing podcast series by Julie Duffy Dillon and Kimmie Singh offers you insight, stories of overcoming blame and shame, quite a few swear words, body positivity, medical truths, and much more. A must listen for anyone impacted by PCOS.
