At Disrupting Weight Bias, our mission is to recognize and disrupt weight bias in the medical community and the harm it causes our patients.
We believe:
Body size is not pathology.
Health is determined by, and unique to, the individual patient - not determined exclusively by BMI (not determined by the scale).
Weight bias disproportionately impacts marginalized communities.
Anti-fat bias harms the doctor-patient relationship, worsens health outcomes, and perpetuates eating disorder behavior.
We are caring for humans in an imperfect system and doing the best we can with limited resources.
We all are influenced by internalized biases and our job is to excavate these biases to deliver compassionate, patient-centered care.
We advocate for compassion, not compliance.
