482-Beyond GLP-1: Weight-Inclusive Care in the Context of GLP-1 with Dr. Lesley Williams MD

Right as weight-inclusive medicine started gaining real ground, GLP-1 walked in and put BMI back at the center of the conversation. Dr. Lesley Williams has spent the last several years practicing weight-inclusive medicine inside a system built around this class of drugs. She is not on a side. She is in the room, every day, holding both a weight-neutral framework and a patient who wants a prescription. This conversation goes into what that actually looks like in practice. ## **What you'll learn** - Why the rise of GLP-1 felt like a step backwards for weight-inclusive medicine, even to a practitioner who believes in it - The shared decision-making framework she uses before ever discussing medication - Why rapport has to outrank advocacy if a practitioner wants to stay in the room long term - What she is already seeing: early adopters starting to come off the medication - Where she believes weight-inclusive care is headed over the next five to ten years **Mentioned in the show:** Beyond GLP-1 Expert Podcast Series: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1 Dr. Lesley Williams website: http://www.lesleywilliamsmd.com Dr. Lesley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DrLesleyW/ Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner/ Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessment Non-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/ Groundwork: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork
