Why is it still so hard for women to get the healthcare they deserve?
In this episode, we’re diving into some of the biggest challenges women face in medical care today—from being dismissed or misdiagnosed to the lack of support around weight, PCOS, perimenopause, pregnancy, and menopause. We’ll talk about why obesity care shouldn’t stop during pregnancy, the lesser-known breastfeeding challenges women with obesity face, and why early support during perimenopause matters more than most people realize.
Whether you're a woman trying to navigate your own care or someone who supports women in any capacity, this conversation is a must-listen.
Today, I’m so excited to be joined by Sandra Christensen,a board-certified nurse practitioner, obesity specialist, and founder of Integrative Medical Weight Management in Seattle, Washington. She’s a Master Fellow of the Obesity Medicine Association, a Fellow of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, and currently serves as president of the Washington Obesity Society. She’s also an associate editor for Obesity Pillars and author of A Clinician’s Guide to Discussing Obesity with Patients. In 2022, she was named Clinician of the Year by the Obesity Medicine Association.
Tune in to the full episode to get the full picture and hear what every woman deserves to know about her health.
