Bearly Healthy
Healthy and Happy in a body you love
The Disclaimer stuff: I'm not a health professional, the information on here is just that. It's not advice. It's what I've learned and that I found helpful in my own health journey. I've tried to use trusted, peer reviewed, sources. But please remember, things change, new findings occur. I've not made this site for me, or anyone, to be dragged down some Interweb alternative facts reality. Thanks

Hi, I'm Gerard.
I want to empower bigger men to manage their own health, in their own way.
Health messaging often seems to shame bigger people, and health information can be confusing and contradictory.
The food industry's marketing tactics add to the problem.
As a community, we've dealt with fat-shaming by creating our own bear community spaces.
Being bigger can lead to health issues, but we can be healthy and happy with our bodies.
Let's explore our health issues realistically, and positively and be body-affirming as we do it. Let's empower bigger men to prioritize our health in a way that works for us.
