Hello Favorite Listeners!

Have you ever gone to the doctor's for an issue and been told to lose weight and it will take care of your problems? If you have, you might be a victim of weight stigma in healthcare. 

It's a huge issue that needs to be brought into the light. It is within your right to refuse to be weighed at the doctor's office. In the episode I mention a PDF you can print out and keep in your wallet if you'd like to not give consent to being weighed. If you'd like to access that PDF, you can find it in the bio of my instagram profile. You can follow me @ Rachel_Windley_Speckman

Thanks for listening!
