<p>The Body Collective is here to change the conversation about weight — to take everything we've learned about shame, unlearn it, and transform it into a source of power. Join hosts Katie Sturino, Hunter McGrady, Ashley Longshore, and Tracy Moore for a series of hilarious and informative conversations about everything from weight-loss medications to dating while plus-sized. With the help of some friends and expert guests, we’ll be creating a judgment-free zone to ask the tough questions and have the hard conversations so we can listen to our bodies, advocate for ourselves, and – ultimately – feel more comfortable in our skin.</p>

&lt;p&gt;In episode 5, we’re talking about how we can find strength as our bodies change throughout our lives. We’re chatting with Dr. Mary Claire Haver about her New York Times bestselling book, &lt;em&gt;The New Menopause&lt;/em&gt;, and we’re debunking misconceptions we hold around aging. Plus, we’re breaking down what it means to be an athlete with New York Times columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom. In this last conversation of the series, you’ll also hear what our hosts have learned this season and how they plan to take those lessons with them beyond the show. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Body Collective series is sponsored by WeightWatchers.
