We will not comment on or monitor your size.
We know that weight stigma causes terrible harm.
We don’t think foot pain, back pain, asthma or any other health issue is necessarily caused by weight.
We’ve treated thousands of thin people with chronic pain and thousands of fat people with chronic pain.
We don’t think weight loss automatically improves any health condition.
We know that the BMI is bad science but is still used to shame people and deny care.
We know that diet-culture and anti-fat bias are rampant in ‘wellness’ communities and are barriers to healthcare for all bodies.
We know that people of all sizes suffer from disordered eating.
We recognize that humans have always existed in a variety of shapes and sizes.
We are doing our best to welcome a wide range of bodies to this clinic.
