Advocacy
How We Do It
Spreading Accurate Scientific Information
We disseminate accurate information on current scientific knowledge of obesity and body weight regulation to address long-standing misconceptions that fuel weight-bias and stigma of obesity.
Working to Change the Narrative
In collaboration with academic partners, scientific societies, medical journals and lay media, we will work to change the societal narrative of obesity, which unfairly and inaccurately depicts individuals with obesity as lacking will power or self-discipline.
Weight Discrimination Prevention
We encourage and support initiatives aimed at preventing weight discrimination in the workplace, education, and healthcare settings.
Improving Worldwide Access to Treatments
We partner with patients advocacy groups to improve worldwide access to evidence-based treatments of obesity and diabetes, including metabolic and bariatric surgery, as well as novel pharmacological, device-based and lifestyle interventions.
