Have you ever been told by a doctor that ‘just losing weight’ is the only answer to your health concerns? You are not alone.

In this episode, Elizabeth shares a personal experience she recently had at the doctor's office. In December, she celebrated her 50th birthday and, as part of her routine health check-up, underwent some tests. The results revealed that she had high cholesterol. Seeking to understand more about her condition, Elizabeth asked the doctor for clarification. The doctor's recommendation was straightforward but surprising: lose 5 to 10 pounds.

This encounter sparks a broader discussion about weight stigma in health care and how it affects patient treatment and perception. Elizabeth, a registered dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, dives into the implications of such advice and the potential biases it reflects. Tune in to hear more about the actions Elizabeth decided to take based on this interaction, her insights on navigating health care as an advocate for intuitive eating, and her reflections on how weight-centric advice can impact overall well-being.
