Weight stigma in health care is a pervasive issue where patients with higher body mass index (BMI) encounter disrespect, bias, and diagnostic overshadowing. This can cause patients to stress about getting care and even lead to care avoidance, contributing to missed or delayed diagnoses. Interventions centered on weight loss can deepen stigma, erode patient trust, and reduce access to evidence-based health interventions. Join Carrie Dennett, MPH, RDN, and Lisa Erlanger, MD, for a webinar exploring the paradigm shift toward weight-inclusive health care. This session will cover a critical examination of the limitations of traditional weight-centric models, highlighting how weight stigma and a focus on weight loss as an intervention negatively impacts patient outcomes. Participants will examine the clinical and psychosocial impacts of weight stigma and review evidence-based approaches that prioritize patient autonomy, sustainable health behaviors, and equitable care. Carrie and Lisa will explain how the care team can collaborate more effectively to integrate weight-inclusive principles and philosophies into daily clinical practice, foster trusting provider-patient relationships, and promote genuine health equity. Equip yourself with the practical tools to deliver compassionate, effective, and truly patient-centered care.
