THIS is the question to actually be asking, because our patients do come in all sizes. And if we are strictly focusing on their weight to define "healthy" or "success", we are failing our patients, pushing them away, and seeding disordered eating.
We can absolutely do differently - and better.
Want help? Connect with me for unraveling the often subconscious weight stigma (which is there just from growing up and living in a very weight-phobic society), which is buried under layers of medical training socialization as well.
We can create the difference for ourselves, our families and our communities.
