Weight Neutral Medical Care and Advocacy Against Weight Stigma with Dr. Michelle Tubman

The Power in Motion Podcast

If you’ve ever been told you have to lose weight for health reasons, or if your medical problems always get blamed on your weight, or you fear going to the doctor because they might comment on your weight - this is the episode for you!

Our guest today is Dr. Michelle Tubman a Canadian physician who operates from a health at every size approach.

In our conversation Michelle set the record straight on what really contributes to poor health outcomes, and spoiler alert - it’s not the number on the scale. She shared her opinion on the theory that “obesity” is a disease and discussed the very real health risks of repeated weight loss attempts.

You’ll leave this interview with a very clear plan on how to handle the conversation and advocate for yourself if you’re told that your weight is to blame for your health problems and are told that losing weight is the answer
