Dr Emily Meyer (endocrinologist and bariatric physician) joins Preeya to discuss the complex issue of weight regulation for those living with overweight and obesity... without any of the diet culture BS or nonsense. Evidence based goodness - did you know that sleep, mental health, diet and physical activity are pillars when it comes to weight regulation? Why even with medication options these pillars need nurturing and additional support from experts like a dietician is so critical. Emily and Preeya also delve into weight stigma in healthcare - why it's such a huge problem and what needs to change.
