This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing! In this piece I talked about the serious issues with the field of so-called “ob*sity* medicine.” Today I’d like to talk about what could be. What if there was a field of medicine dedicated to providing better care to fat* patients rather than dedicated to making us thin? Now, that shouldn’t be necessary. We should have a healthcare system that supports the health of people of all sizes. Unfortunately, that’s not what we have.
Brilliant and timely. I just learned today that physicians can now be board-certified in "Lifestyle Medicine." I have several problems with this and certainly one of the first ones is that I'm sure it takes weight-inclusive medicine in absolutely the wrong direction.

Absolutely brilliant idea.
