Looking beyond BMI

Max is joined by Fatima Cody Stanford, MD, MPH, MPA, an obesity medicine physician for children and adults, and researcher at Harvard Medical School. They discuss her work which focuses on racial disparities in obesity as a chronic illness, to disparities in access to treatment, stigma, and patient experiences in clinical settings. You'll also hear about how obesity relates to COVID-19 morbidity, and pitfalls in medical education regarding obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Follow Dr. Stanford on twitter at @askdrfatima.
