National Center for Weight and Wellness director @scottkahan tells @BrockEWTurner there's "real value" in companies using telemedicine to scale obesity care, but says there’s “a lot of risks” when these companies use mass-compounded medications instead of studied GLP-1s.

@ConscienHealth @NEJM @ObesityAction @MarsApovian Ted, this is so true. Insurers & policy makers can no longer say this is a cosmetic problem or lack of will power.

Until now, all types of discrimination: religious, age above 40, race, disability, and others but except #weight or #obesity have been considered illegal, now New York City passes a law barring weight discrimination @BBCNews⁩ https://t.co/SQRkNQ1LTQ

@dvargas92495 How so??

[Sarah Bramblette, MSHL @Born2lbFat]

@BevTchangMD @scottkahan I have a say at what size I am healthy. I’m not trying to be thin, I’m just trying to weight less. I’ve already seen improvements in health losing from 490lbs to 401lbs.

[Beverly G. Tchang, MD @BevTchangMD]

Love this⭐️expert opinion from Scott Kahan, MD, MPH @scottkahan:

"HAES is among the strongest advocates against #weightbias but extreme subgroups push a false binary between #weightmanagement and #Health"

Treating #obesity is not necessarily "anti-HAES"

[Beverly G. Tchang, MD @BevTchangMD]

@scottkahan up next, challenging us to challenge our own #weightbias

3⃣ Most commonly used medications WERE NOT GLP1s. As I typically say, obesity medicine is far more than incretin therapies, as access is an issue.
