Part 1

In this empowering episode of The Plus SideZ Podcast, Nurse Tedder joins us to share her personal journey with obesity, diabetes, and her advocacy work with the Obesity Action Coalition. Nurse Tedder’s story highlights her passion for combating weight bias and advocating for better healthcare solutions for individuals living with obesity. We delve into the critical intersection of obesity, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), discussing the unique challenges faced by people of color in accessing quality obesity care and treatment options.

Nurse Tedder also sheds light on the Obesity Action Coalition’s impactful Stop Weight Bias campaign, aimed at reshaping societal perceptions of obesity and fostering greater respect for those affected by this chronic condition. In this episode, we emphasize the importance of treating obesity as a medical issue that requires comprehensive care, not just lifestyle changes, and why it’s essential to have obesity treatments included in health insurance plans.

Additionally, we address the misconception that body positivity and GLP-1 medications for obesity management can’t coexist. Nurse Tedder explains how embracing both concepts can support self-love and sustainable health improvements.

Join us for an insightful conversation about the ongoing fight for better obesity treatment, inclusion, and respect for diverse healthcare needs. You can follow Nurse Tedder on social media @coachtedder and listen to her podcast Dear Healthcare Provider, available on all podcast platforms.
