Beyond the Scale: Confronting Weight Shaming in Healthcare

  • Summary

  • In Episode 5 of The Wellness Pharmacist, we explore the issue of weight shaming in healthcare. Many patients face judgment about their weight, often overshadowing their actual health needs. This episode covers personal experiences of weight stigma, the impact of these judgments on overall health, and the importance of seeing patients as whole people, not just numbers on a scale. Through this conversation, we explore how healthcare professionals can take a more compassionate approach, addressing the underlying challenges behind weight and health struggles.
