"We estimate the annual healthcare costs related to unhealthy weight control behaviours [in adolescents] to reach $19.2 million, accompanied by 64,800 days of school absenteeism at the population level." Long Le, N. Hall & T. Thai discuss the study⬇️ butterfly.org.au/unhealthy-weig…

Do we "suffer from obesity" or do we suffer from the fat-stigma & -phobia? Is obesity killing us? Or is trying to live, survive & thrive in a world not designed for us causing us harm? We don't quit our bodies in the same way we can quit smoking. Weight is not a behaviour.

Pointing out that fat is harmful, when most weight loss diets fail, isn’t helpful. That’s actually part of the harm. I’m not here promoting obesity or dismissing biology, I’m here saying some of us live with different bodies so let’s not artificially make that harder.

There is a complex interaction between eating disorders and fertility. It is crucial that we upskill all health professionals working in fertility care settings to compassionately and effectively respond to eating disorders. #ICED2024

Despite increasing awareness of the risk and protective factors for ED and efficacious approaches to treat symptoms, a significant treatment gap remains. Indeed, it is estimated that only 25% of individuals with an ED receive treatment. (Hart et al., 2011; Lee et al., 2017).

Congratulations Janeane Dart! So wonderful to see where your leadership takes us.

What’s the difference between a vasectomy and an IUD insertion? Around $140! Why? Surely it’s because IUD insertion is easier (no it isn’t), quicker (no it isn’t) & doesn’t require a fancy set up (neither does vasectomy) Could it be something else??? #EndGenderBias #Medicare
