Episode 16: Talking with Healthcare Professionals
Wednesday, 1 May, 2024
When a fellow physician's offhand remark about obesity struck a nerve, it brought home the reality of the insensitivity that pervades our medical community. It's discussions like this that Tammie and Maria tackle head-on, breaking down the complexities of weight management far beyond the oversimplified calories in versus calories out. Their conversation sheds light on the multifaceted influences of genetics, metabolism, and lifestyle choices on an individual's weight, underscoring the urgent need for a more educated approach within healthcare.As they peel back the curtain on bariatric care, they're confronted with the stark realities of accessibility, especially in rural areas. The advancements in surgery and evolving outpatient policies come into sharp focus alongside the role of primary care physicians in the referral process. Maria gets personal, sharing her own experience with binge eating disorder, and together, Tammie and Maria expose how few eligible patients receive the care they need. They also explore how telemedicine, a beacon of hope post-COVID, could revolutionize follow-up care and bridge the healthcare divide.The finale of the episode takes on a proactive stance, stressing the significance of early intervention in weight management. They emphasize the value of a multi-disciplinary approach and the necessity for primary care doctors to be well-versed in weight management. Wrapping up, they extend an open invitation to our listeners to connect with them on social media for further discussions and insights. With Tammie's invaluable perspective, they hope their candid dialogue resonates with listeners and sparks a much-needed transformation in how the healthcare field addresses weight management.Tea With TJJoin me every Wed. for a discussion on life's insights through a creative lensListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the Show.
