Censoring ob*sity is like censoring cardiovascular dis*ase or type 2 diab*tes.

It does nothing to actually address the underlying issues surrounding weight stigma. Weight stigma is a serious issue. Censoring clinical nomenclature is not the way to fix it.

I found out my memes have been used in medical school lectures 😂

[Marie Lavoie B.Sc. Kinesiologist @LaKinesiologist]

@DrNadolsky Haha that’s perfect! A new way to learn I guess 😅

The people who don’t put their shopping carts back are the same people who don’t rack their weights.

My Med student just told me I changed her life.

Not because I taught her cardiology-bc I had In Bloom playing in my office & she’s never heard Nirvana. Now she’s listened to Nevermind cover to cover 😂

PS even though I was like 4 yo when this came out-my sisters taught me well

Hey, everyone! Guess what I found tucked under the desk in my office! My uneaten lunch from March 11, 2020.

[Agnieszka Solberg MD @AgnesSolberg]

Physicians aren't nurses.

Nurses aren't physicians.

Two very different skill sets. Two very different training and practice models.

I feel this is disrespectful to nurses.

"Even if you're reasonably active, hours of sitting may tighten the hip flexor+hamstring muscles+stiffen the joints themselves. Tight hip flexors+hamstrings may contribute to lower back pain+knee stiffness." #exercise #lifestylemedicine #thursdayvibes https://t.co/2oFxu2Ntd5

@CPHO_Canada @GovCanHealth @SFU Let’s be part of the solution 🙌🏽 I think it’s amazing to see people taking walk (to a 2m distance) and exercising at home! People are adapting, they are taking care of themselves differently in the pandemic context! Keep it up and use Facetime guys🙏🏽

I love the COVID19!
People are walking more
People are doing exercise at home
They are adapting
They are moving more
They are taking care of themselves

[Marie Lavoie B.Sc. Kinesiologist @LaKinesiologist]

People: Meh... What��s the worse that can happens if I DON’T move?
