(HS Erlanger 058803 2022) Untangling Weight and Health: A Physician's Perspective
Tracking # 20-914254
Course overview
Though we may have become aware of the harms of diet culture, many of us still worry about the negative impacts of weight on health. We may actively promote our clients journey towards body positivity but continue to watch our own weight. We may feel comfortable with weight neutral self-care, but only up to a certain BMI or with certain health conditions. This session will explore the myths and realities of the relationship between weight and health. Through cases, research, and resources, you will be empowered to reduce weight stigma in your office and to advocate for a weight-inclusive approach to health for all your clients.
