93 million adults are living with obesity, and many do not have proper access to care. Many have insurance coverage but it does not include obesity care.
In this episode, we explore access to care. We discuss how the medical industry perceives it and how individuals see it, how it effects communities and what kind of programs exist for those who do not have insurance. Discover why intervention and proactive healthcare can help change the future. Everyone deserves access to care.
We are excited to bring you these educational and inspiring stories from someone that has been treating the chronic disease of obesity her whole life. Please feel free to reach out to Laura directly with any questions, comments or idea's directly at [email protected].

Welcome to the first Celebrate Voice Check Point.
In this episode, Laura recaps the prior episodes by challenging you to answer a series of questions. This set of questions will help guide you to establish a personal foundation of your definition of obesity. Obesity is a complex topic, and how you define, view, and treat it will affect your health decisions and your personal decisions for the rest of your life.

Can you answer these questions?
1. How do you advocate for your and your health? Why is it important to you?
2. How do you define obesity, is it a disease or a lifestyle choice?
3. How do you label yourself and your weight? Do you know your BMI?
4. What language do you use with obesity, People First or Identity First?
5. Are you currently treating obesity? How and would you consider other options?
Listen in as Laura shares her personal responses to these questions and more.

The language we use around obesity can be complicated and complex.
In this week's episode, Laura unpacks two different styles of language used when speaking about obesity:
People First Language vs Identity First Language.
Language is a powerful tool. It shapes how we think about and understand the world and the people in it. The way we speak not only effects our self thoughts, but it also can set a standard for how people interact with us and the languageage they choose to use with us. It also can provide an opportunity to education others on the impact their words can have on someone.
