Abdominal Wall Dysfunction is Everything (Medical Series)

Jennifer L. Gaudiani, MD, CEDS-S, FAED

Jennifer L. Gaudiani, MD, CEDS-S, FAED gives us tangible take-homes to enhance our practices and to heal the medical complications of eating disorders. 

Supervision for doctors is key - Doctors are not taught about their emotional contributions to the patient outcome,.and her approach using Narrative Medicine is evident.

She shares her research about weight-inclusive medical care – spoiler – a weight-inclusive perspective is the ONLY thing to do because, in the final analysis, the best way to be well is to nourish throughout the day abundantly, adequately, rest, and move according to joy and interest.

Finally, Healthism makes a LOT of assumptions so listen in to hear her approach!
