RIP to the AspireAssist

from Weight and Healthcare · host Ragen Chastain

I received a reader question from Annilyn who said:“My doctor just suggested that I try the AspireAssist to lose weight. I didn’t want to Google it because I think it will be really triggering but based on what he described, I just don’t think this thing can be real, can it? Will you write about it?”I’m happy to write about this weight loss device Annilyn, and mostly I’m happy because it seems to be off the market, but we’ll get to that. I think it’s worth looking at the history and research around this thing as an example of what happens in a “thin my any means necessary” healthcare culture.
