on march 4, 2026, the world will turn its attention to “8 billion reasons to act on obesity,” and healthing wants to make sure your reason is one that gets heard.
we are opening up our platform to feature your unique journey for world obesity day. we believe the most powerful way to change the narrative is through individual experiences and our collective voices.
we all have a specific motivation that drives us. maybe yours is the fight for fair medical access, the desire to be active with your children, or the daily resilience required to manage a complex biological condition. whatever your reason, it is valid, and sharing it is the single best way to break down the stigma that still surrounds obesity.
help us turn this global theme into a personal conversation. submit your story to healthing and tell us what drives you. let’s move beyond the numbers and focus on the real people behind them. what is your reason to change the story?
send us an email at info@healthing.ca with your story (and photos, if you want) and let us know if you’re willing to be interviewed by our editorial team for a larger feature story. we’ll be publishing your stories on march 4, 2026 for world obesity day.
thank you!
