Food Psych Podcast with Christy HarrisonAbout this episode
Medical doctor and Health At Every Size advocate Louise Metz joins us to discuss why weight management has no place in evidence-based medicine, how our current medical system can get in the way of providing compassionate care, why it’s actually not necessary for doctors to weigh their patients, how physicians can shift their practice to be more weight-inclusive, and so much more! Plus, Christy answers a listener question about dealing with digestive symptoms. (This episode originally aired on September 30, 2019.) Louise Metz is an Internal Medicine Physician who has expertise in the medical management of eating disorders and gender-related health care.
