Struggling with judgment about your body size? In this episode of The Jeanette Jenkins Show, Jeanette sits down with her sister Camille to break down the truth about body positivity, size discrimination, and why you can never know someone’s health by looking at them. Camille shares her journey through years of unexplained weight gain, finally discovering she had leptin resistance, a hormone-related condition that affects metabolism and fat loss.

Learn how hormones, inflammation, genetics, fibroids, and stress impact weight; why “calories in, calories out” doesn’t apply to everyone; and how to advocate for yourself when doctors overlook real health conditions. Jeanette & Camille share practical tools for improving self-image, reducing negative self-talk, dressing for confidence, and moving your body for joy & longevity.

Get empowered to embrace your unique body, understand what’s really driving weight changes, and build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Jeanette sits down with her sister Camille to unpack the truth about body positivity, size discrimination, hormonal challenges, and the reality of living with leptin resistance, a condition few people understand, including many medical professionals.
