#Repost @chr1styharrison (@get_repost)・・・Physicians and other medical professionals are just as human as the rest of us, and they’re just as vulnerable to cultural bias. They live in diet culture and absorb its fatphobic messages from birth like the rest of us, and it informs their thinking about bodies, their education in medical school, and even the medical textbooks and research articles they read.——————————————–Fatphobia is *everywhere,* even in the places we’re taught not to question. In fact, I would venture to say that it’s even *more* prevalent in doctor’s offices than in the world at large; research has shown that doctors and nurses have incredibly high rates of weight bias, and it directly impacts the quality of care they give their larger-bodied patients.——————————————–So if your doctor recommends weight loss, remember that they’re steeped in diet culture just like everyone else, and don’t take their word as gospel. Instead, ask them about treatments that don’t involve weight loss (or as @ragenchastain would say, “what would you tell a thin person with this condition, and how about we try that?”). Ask them to refrain from weight talk around you. If they can’t honor those requests, you have every right to find a different doctor! ——————————————–If you want to hear more about HAES, intuitive eating, and body liberation, head on over to wherever you get your podcasts and download the latest episode of Food Psych today!——————————————–And if you’re ready for a deeper dive into all things anti-diet, come check out my intuitive eating online course at christyharrison.com/course ❤️——————————————–#haes #intuitiveeating #edrecovery #antidietproject #antidiet #riotsnotdiets #effyourbeautystandards #losehatenotweight #lifebeyonddieting #thelifethief #balancednotclean #foodisfuel #prorecovery #bodyposi #bodypositive #bopo #foodpsychpod #foodpsych #feminism #healthateverysize #nourishnotpunishhttps://www.instagram.com/p/BoRnrnZh8H60sJHkI32uaYOmFEkeQ_bWPCRKQs0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ff5eenlnongn -- source link
