This week's podcast guest is Dr. Jenny Talbert, DC, the founder of Whole Heart Chiropractic in Springfield, MO, who has spent over 16 years reimagining what chiropractic care can look like when you remove the weight stigma and actually trust your patients.
She practices trauma-informed, weight-neutral healthcare and educates other providers on Health at Every Size principles and building practices where every patient feels genuinely safe.
KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED:
- The hidden dangers of BMI-based medical denial and how it creates a dangerous cycle of delayed care for larger-bodied patients.
- The clinical reality of GLP-1 medications, including the risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss) and the importance of true informed consent.
- How internalized anti-fat bias is perpetuated in medical and nutritional education.
- Practical strategies for navigating "bad body days" and managing the sensory triggers of recovery.
- The profound impact that weight-neutral care has on patient retention, trust, and long-term healing outcomes.
