Casey's story: When good intentions aren't enough

Send us Fan Mail Casey is a passionate, well-meaning therapist who believes in weight-inclusive care but freezes when clients bring up medical concerns. They've learned about anti-diet principles through Instagram and podcasts, but lack the medical knowledge to counter doctors' weight-focused advice. When a client receives a devastating diabetes diagnosis with the usual "lose weight" lecture, Casey wants to help but secretly wonders if the doctor might be right. Add in family pressure about their own weight, hostile colleagues questioning their approach, and the constant fear of professional consequences - and you have a dedicated professional caught between their values and their limitations. In this episode, I explore why therapists like Casey deserve support, not judgment, and how we can bridge the gap between good intentions and confident, evidence-based practice in the fight for weight-inclusive healthcare. For anti-diet and healthcare professionals, it's time to stop second-guessing your weight-inclusive approach, and get the research, tools, and professional certification to confidently counter medical weight bias:✓ Complete 12-module professional certification program✓ Lifetime access to expanding evidence library✓ Professional Directory listing for client referralsGot a question for the next podcast?
