Weight Loss Is Not a Substitute for Healthcare: Part 1- The Basics

from Weight and Healthcare · host Ragen Chastain

Substituting weight loss for health and/or healthcare accommodation is a primary source of harm enacted on higher-weight people by the healthcare industry. I’ve had a bunch of requests asking me to write about it from a macro perspective .This is complicated and there is a lot to discuss so I’m breaking it up into five parts. (I’m thrilled that you are reading this whether you stumbled onto it or are a free or paid subscriber and today I want to offer some extra gratitude to my paid subscribers - a series like this takes a lot of time to create and your support makes this kind of deep dive possible.)
