In this episode Dana, Sirius, and Hilary discuss the importance and implementation of practicing healthcare from a weight inclusive perspective. They explore terminology such as ‘weight inclusive’ and ‘size inclusive’, and dive into what a weight inclusive model of care looks like compared to a weight normative approach. They also talk about connecting weight inclusive care with health equity, the challenges facing healthcare providers, and the systemic issues perpetuated by weight-centric models of care. Real-life examples and personal stories highlight the harm caused by weight stigma in medical settings, emphasizing the need for an inclusive, respectful, and compassionate approach in healthcare. The conversation further covers the importance of community and support for providers advocating for change.
