While preparing one of my last presentations during the final leg of the semester (thank goodness!), I was reminded of this excellent article published in APA in 2022. Especially during a time when voices around weight are loud, this is a timely reminder to be thoughtful www.apa.org/monitor/2022...

The burden of weight stigma

Weight gain is on the rise, but shaming people won’t reverse the trend. Sizeism increases a person’s risk for mental health problems such as substance use and suicidality.

Clinical Psych grad school interview season is coming up, so let's go over some tips! 1) Prepare for common questions by thinking about your answers ahead of time, but don't write a script. 2) Don't try to memorize your "perfect" answer. We want to see your personality as much as your response.

I am still recruiting for my thesis study exploring people's experiences using coaches (e.g., recovery coaches, life coaches, wellness coaches) for eating disorder recovery! Please share!

Alex Janin at the Wall Street Journal wrote this excellent piece about GLP-1s and children. Definitely worth a read if you are invested in public health, weight stigma, eating disorders, nutrition, and/or weight loss. www.wsj.com/health/pharm...
