1. What Not to Say When Talking to Patients About Their Weight Christine Meyer 55:45

How we talk to patients about their weight is unquestionably a very sensitive subject and needs to be handled with precision. Words matter significantly in patient communication, and outcomes often depend on proper communication.

This week, we’re talking with award-winning author Michelle May, MD, CSP. In addition to her popular “Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat” book series, she co-authored the 2022 article, “The Consequences of a Weight-Centric Approach to Healthcare: A Case for a Paradigm Shift in How Clinicians Address Body Weight,” in Nutrition in Clinical Practice, a highly respected peer-reviewed medical journal.

How to have better weight-centric conversations in healthcare is the theme of today’s chat. Dr. May highlights many of the flaws in our current approach, emphasizing the harm caused by weight bias and the need for a shift towards a weight-inclusive perspective.
