Dr. Lisa Erlanger: A Physician's Journey to Practicing Weight-Inclusive Medicine

The Appetite

Dr. Lisa Erlanger joins Opal's Nutrition Director Julie Church, RDN to share the evidence and compassion that led her to evolve into a weight-inclusive physician.  Lisa explains how the body is impacted by dieting (aka starvation) and emphasizes the importance of adequate nourishment as a strong focus of weight-inclusive health care practices within eating disorder treatment and beyond.  She even gives some quick tips on how to help medical providers get out of their weight-centric trance and provide respectful medical care, regardless of body size.  Wherever you are on your journey of weight-inclusivity, this is a must listen!
