How do weight loss drugs work and are they safe? At last year's British Science Festival in Liverpool, @gilesyeo.bsky.social gave a fascinating talk (and demonstration!) about their mechanisms and therapeutic role for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHDk...

Part of an email I received from my GP practice, which serves more than 10,000 people. Based on current criteria, only 8 (!!!) people qualify for these GLP1s from the NHS 👀. With >90% accessing these drugs privately, this is driving health inequalities.

There are good & bad people in the world. Most people, of all colours, creed, religion & immigrant status, are good. There are, sadly, bad people, who are also of all colours, creed, religion & immigrant status. Both are independent variables. Equating one with the other only encourages hate.

Singer CMAT was hit with awful body-shaming after her performance at a music festival this past weekend. Just in case we need a reminder that weight stigma is still rife in society #endweightstigma #obesityisnotachoice www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In the village rag, someone complained about disabled parking taken up by some of the local weight-loss support group, and made an unkind quip about obesity. This ‘letter to the editor’ was just published! Who knew there are actually people listening to me! #obesityisnotachoice #endweightstigma
