Doctor’s Prescription Challenge to Body Positivity | Canada News

A Saskatoon body positivity group, The Curvy Club, was stunned when a doctor offered to prescribe weight-loss drugs via Facebook—igniting debate over medical overreach, body acceptance, and the growing use of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. The founder, Cierra Giesbrecht, rejected the offer but warned it fuels self-doubt among members. Dr. Dennis Wardman, who sees weight-loss meds as akin to addiction treatment, insists on personalized care—but critics question whether his outreach undermines body positivity. Pharmacists stress patient-centered decisions, while concerns grow about misuse and societal pressure. The Curvy Club may now file a formal complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, spotlighting a wider tension between medical promotion and body acceptance.
