  • Episode 169: Stigmatizing Sales Pitch

    I usually find this podcast interesting and informative but this episode was garbage. Hiva refers to patients by their diagnoses and it is a 30-min sales pitch for Amazon pharmacy, as if Amazon needs a bigger footprint in our lives. This was gross.

  • “Obesity” Episode Incredibly Stigmatizing

    I take a lot of issue with your episode on “obesity medicine”. Co-opting body positivity language and it “not being about weight loss” is the opposite of what the message is in this podcast. You mention “weight control” and “obesity” as a condition (which it is not-google the definition of the word).The term “obesity” is incredibly stigmatizing in itself, but also weight is very much not in one’s control and many diseases that are correlated with “obesity” are just correlations and not proven to... more

It is a subspecialty that emphasizes whole-person care across six pillars—nutrition, physical activity, stress management, social connection, sleep, and avoidance of risky substances—and uses strategies like two-way patient education and shared medical appointments to tailor plans.
175. Investigating the Role of BMI in Health Care
Q: Why are we still using BMI other than to report?
BMI was adopted as a standard because it is a simple measurement created for resource allocation, without a focus on health metrics.
