The Pursuing Private Practice Podcast with Jennifer McGurk

In this episode:

So your client wants to lose weight.

As anti-diet dietitians, we aren’t immune to our clients wanting this. In fact, almost all (if not all!) of us have had to work through this with a client in the past. So what’s the right thing to do? How should we approach this?

This episode is a recording from a live workshop we held with the Dietitian Business School clients, and it was so valuable that we wanted to share the discussion with all of you.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• Why our clients want to lose weight
• Recognizing different lived experiences
• Our role as clinicians in a weight-inclusive approach
• How social justice issues play a role in our clients’ journeys
