Doctors do not need to weigh patients for nearly all office visits. Opt out and the doctor can chart “patient declined”. — Dr Jennifer Gaudiani author of Sick EnoughWeight stigma is harmful to human health at all sizes. The medical community upholds weight stigma and harms the very people they should be helping by weighing patients without informed consent, blaming weight on non weight related concerns like earaches and wrist pain, and recommending weight loss based on the unscientific BMI measurement. Medicine must work from the inside out to eradicate the problems they have perpetuated. Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani author of the book Sick Enough has made weight inclusive medical care a priority at her Denver based telemedicine clinic and she shares her ideas for why doctors must act to eradicate weight stigma on this episode.

    Thanks to both of you! It’s so good to hear another perspective that doesn’t involve hating oneself because of one’s size. I wish more doctors understood that being thin doesn’t necessarily mean healthy:)
