Episode #46 - Not All Medical Providers Are Fatphobic with Gregory Dodell, MD

Welcome to episode #46 of the Recover with Carly Podcast.

This week I sat down with Gregory Dodell - NYC weight neutral endocrinologist & advocate for ending weight discrimination. Let’s just take a moment to thank Gregory for the work that he does because we definitely don’t see enough medical providers speak out against weight discrimination.

Gregory talks about his experience unlearning fatphobic and harmful medical training as he navigates the medical field as a weight neutral physician and endocrinologist. He also shares some of the negative health outcomes that stem from weight discrimination, the importance of weight neutral care, and talked briefly about an exciting bill that was just passed in NYC that makes weight discrimination illegal. To learn more about this bill head to check out the Campaign for Size Freedom and follow the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance , The Fat Legal Advocacy, Rights, and Education Project, and Dove.

Gregory mentioned Ragen Chastain as being a great resource for education and knowledge on weight discrimination as well as a Google Doc that was created to help individuals find weight neutral providers and specialist in their state.
