Nutriri #MeasureHealthNotWeight

#MeasureHealthNotWeight had fun today making Nutriri's video to share that @TheLancet and @NICEComms are in agreement that higher weight is being over-diagnosed and over-treated and that #WeightStigma is a major barrier to health and healthcare

If I'd have known it'd take so long... would we have started?... We'll never know if Nutriri has taken the fastest route; we've simply took the routes available to us at the time (without selling out to d!et culture!)..and now we've been invited to the BMJ crowdfunder.co.uk/p/get-nutriri-…

@StigmaConf @rachel_e_fox @GVSU @AucklandUni Thanks for the opportunity to share our #LivedExperience work with #NHS #Core20PLUS5ambassadors

@GilesYeo @HealthWritersUK Did the multiple impacts of stigma receive any mention @GilesYeo?

Speaking about the #genetics of #obesity at the House of Lords tonight, for the Guild of Health Writers @HealthWritersUK #obesityisnotachoice

Did the study have a control group that didn't pursue or surveil weight change? One that measured balancing nutrition, movement, alcohol and not smoking and actively reducing stigma to rebuild trust? #MeasureHealthNotWeight

Social determinants of health (SDOH) are often overlooked in policy-making, leading to individual-focused health initiatives. In @TheLancetPH, authors call for a shift from individual accountability to systemic solutions to address SDOH: hubs.li/Q03c1Jwt0

@TheLancet @LancetDigitalH Equal funding for stigma impact research please... but action based - as we have enough reports to go on #DoWith

Today is #InternationalWomensDay⁠ with the theme for 2025 being to accelerate action for gender equality.⁠ An Editorial from @LancetDigitalH explores two studies that showcase how AI can be used to accelerate action for women's health & help in achieving true gender equality ▶️ hubs.li/Q039WgtK0

@TheLancetEndo We also need a strategy to reduce stigma and rebuild engagement with collaborative healthcare especially as nutriri.org/lancet-finds-b…

@HelenBevan @RNAO Allow me to contribute a graphic for change from to 10 years of gathering lived and worked experience of weight stigma

There are some fantastic (free) resources for change & great graphics in the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (@RNAO) "Leading Change Toolkit". I particularly like the content on the "social movement action framework", a people-led, grassroots approach to change that develops in response to an urgent shared concern or strongly desired change as well as a readiness for purposeful action by individuals, groups & organizations. rnao.ca/bpg/leading-ch… One of the key graphics has been adapted by @TCI_ca: thecenterforimplementation.com/toolbox/social…. If we typically led more change this way (with & by people, rather than to or for people) we would make quicker progress.

@HelenBevan Ooh hits hard recognising a decade long (at least) meetings hangover for #weightStigma to hit home

When we take part in an unproductive meeting, the effect isn't just the immediate impact of a waste of our time. The effect can go on for hours or even days. It's called a "meeting hangover": a period of diminished focus, motivation or productivity following a bad meeting. Researchers found that more than a quarter of meetings produced meeting hangovers. Five insights from meeting science to prevent meeting hangovers: 1) More active, thoughtful facilitation 2) Cut the guest list ruthlessly 3) Turn agendas into action plans 4) Make every minute count & don’t run over 5) Demand accountability, every time hbr.org/2025/02/the-hi….

@TheLancet To create effective prevention and screening protocols we'll need to start with what currently hinders engagement, #WeightStigma leads to less cancer screenings nutriri.org/lancet-finds-b…

Urgent action is needed to scale-up cancer prevention and care services. Cancer registries can play a crucial role in this. Ahead of #WorldCancerDay, our Editorial explores the benefits and challenges of cancer registries in global cancer care: hubs.li/Q034HVT90

@TheLancet @TheLancetEndo nutriri.org/lancet-finds-b…

Over 1 billion people live with #obesity. There is an urgent need for a universal definition & diagnosis. 🆕 A @TheLancetEndo Commission introduces a new model with categories: clinical obesity (an illness) & pre-clinical obesity. This reframing identifies medically meaningful targets for prevention & treatment. Find out more ➡️ hubs.li/Q030v_j_0

@NASPTweets A simple rebranding (and KPI shift) of 'weight management' spending (£785m in one year is typical) could fund so much community based social prescribing #MeasureHealthNotWeight nutriri.org/case-study

We recently launched our report, Envisaging a Social Prescribing Fund: ow.ly/1nR550UpTOe It calls for a fund that would support social prescribing activities. We hosted an event with leaders from the health, civil society, finance & government sector to hear perspectives
