  • Summary

  • A snide remark from a coworker. Airplane seats that only fit a certain size. A provider’s insistence that your knee pain is due to overweight. More than 40% of U.S. adults have experienced stigma due to their weight. But where does it come from, and how can it come between you and your healthcare?

    On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with psychologist Dr. Afton Koball about the harmful impact of weight bias, and how providers and patients can push back against stereotypes, in the medical field and beyond.
