    Carrie Dennett, MPH, RDN, and Lisa Erlanger, MD, will be exploring the paradigm shift toward weight-inclusive health care. This session will cover a critical examination of the limitations of traditional weight-centric models, highlighting how weight stigma and a focus on weight loss as an intervention negatively impacts patient outcomes. Participants will examine the clinical and psychosocial impacts of weight stigma and review evidence-based approaches that prioritize patient autonomy, sustainable health behaviors, and equitable care.
