You never know who has an eating disorder. These illnesses are silent, they do not discriminate, and they can be deadly! One way you can help is to stop talking SH$T about bodies! Bodies come in all sizes and shapes and when we moralize bodies, we fuel body shame. So let’s practice zipping it this week! You got this!

Medical doctors please listen up - with all due respect - STOP prescribing unsolicited weight loss advice!!! It is NOT evidence based medicine. It is unhelpful, and harmful. You very well might be sending someone down the path of a life threatening eating disorder because of your own anti-fat bias. Weight loss is not a behavior! Prescribe things that people can do-like get more sleep, eat breakfast, meditate, etc. to improve their health and quality of life. If you don’t understand what weight stigma is, and how it harms, please educate yourself! Especially in this GLP1 era. For many people the healthiest thing they can do is avoid the pursuit of intentional weight loss. Confused??? Let us know- we can provide lots of information and resources!

Doctors, patients and researchers are at the very beginning of understanding how the new class of obesity drugs interact with eating disorders.
