Happy #WorldObesityDay 2025.
#Obesity is not a choice, #obesity is a complex, relapsing, progressive condition & NOT personal responsibility!
Lets work together to change the food environment, health inequity & focus on the wider system & NOT the individual
#ChangingSystems

A reminder on #WorldObesityDay that people living with obesity are fighting against their biology.
And that #type2diabetes is influenced by a combination of factors. We fund research to reveal more about this complex mix of genetic, biological and environmental drivers.
A message from me for #WorldObesityDay which is on March 4th. By #AddressingObesityTogether we can end #weightstigma. #obesityisnotachoice

a PLASTIC SURGEON told a patient of mine to lose 20 more lbs before abdominoplasty offered after they had lost 110 lbs (44% body weight) & had kept it off 10 yrs. They felt defeated. The ignorance, bias, & discrimination toward those that live with weight in medicine is horrific.
