In this episode, we sit down with Caissa Troutman, an obesity medicine and family physician, to delve into the pervasive stigma and shame associated with obesity and perimenopause. Caissa shares her personal experiences and patient stories, highlighting the external and internal stigmas faced by individuals with obesity. We explore common misconceptions about obesity, the importance of education in breaking these myths, and effective strategies for building self-trust and confidence in patients. Additionally, she discusses the dismissal of perimenopausal symptoms in the medical community, the benefits of menopausal hormone therapy, and the need for better support for women in midlife.

Caissa Troutman is an obesity medicine and family physician.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “Breaking the stigma with science.”
