ABOUT THE HOSTS
THE PODCAST IS THE FRONT DOOR.
THIS IS THE STORY BEHIND IT.
Weight & Measure is built around lived experience, accurate information and a simple belief: the patient voice belongs in every serious conversation about obesity care.

WHY WEIGHT & MEASURE EXISTS
Bring patients closer to the science without losing the patient voice.
We have lived the conversations people are now having about obesity. We have experienced stigma, watched the science change and seen how difficult it can be to separate evidence from headlines, hype and misinformation.
Weight & Measure exists to make those conversations more understandable, more human and more useful to the people living them.
