Research from #ECO2025 reminds us how much health professionals will miss if they don’t listen closely to persons living with #obesity. #FoodNoise #WeightBias HT: @xramossalas

One of the biggest myths about GLP-1 medicines out there is that it’s a choice between the medicine and doing lifestyle changes. The medicine helps you make lifestyle changes. It’s not either or.

We need obesity services more than ever in Northern Ireland. Unfortunately, people are desperate for treatment and forced to seek it elsewhere, which can be ineffective and unsafe. Less talk, more action. #weightstigma #obesity #NI
Still no obesity support service in Northern Ireland, compared to the rest of the UK and Ireland. And this is what is happening, will likely keep happening. People desperate for help, with no NHS route to get it.
