Great work by the Ontario Dietitians in Public Health in Canada to develop this position statement on a #weightinclusive approach that is a call for action for everyone who works in #publichealth, #dietetics, #nutrition, #healthpromotion, #healtheducation, and #healthpolicy in any country where #higherweight is pathologized and stigmatized. #weightjustice

Really enjoyed this webinar today - Prof Jim McManus is such an honest, engaging and insightful speaker. Key take home messages for me also included: ➡️the importance of kindness, love & connectivity in society and their impact upon health ➡️how do we walk with, encounter & serve citizens..public health is about supporting and engaging with people to get involved & the importance of building & leveraging trust & demonstrating humility ➡️collaboration and collaborative leadership is a key part of the future

As someone who leads an active, healthy lifestyle, I find it frustrating that tools like BMI label me as "overweight." It's clear that BMI, a metric rooted in outdated, racist and biased perspectives, perpetuates weight stigma and fails to capture the true complexity of health. We need to move away from simplistic "healthy" vs. "unhealthy" weight labels and the reliance on BMI, and other similar tools in health communications and research. By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and meaningful understanding of health that empowers individuals to feel comfortable in their own skin and discuss their health concerns with their doctors - without just hearing they need to lose weight. Hopefully, this change is one of many that will help lead our healthcare system into a welcoming and shame-free environment. #HealthAtEverySize #WeightStigma #HolisticHealth #InclusiveHealthcare #BodyPositivity #BeyondBMI
