The End to Fat Shaming Begins Here | Dr. Ali Zentner | TEDxLangford

The world demands a new generation of kindness and compassion more than ever before. Dr. Ali Zetner has spent the last two decades in medicine building a practice dedicated to enforcing
evidence-based treatment options for people living with obesity while challenging the stigma

I was a patient of Dr. Zentner in 2016. Because of her caring, compassionate and informed treatment I was able to shed 30 lbs and get my blood pressure and blood sugars down to a normal level. I have kept this weight off and my vitals in a normal range. She has a very unique personality. BC and the world is fortunate to have her practice medicine.

Thank you, Dr. Zentner you changed my life!

You've let your empathy for people cloud your judgement. You KNOW that the biggest reason people become obese is from overeating and a lack of exercise. Poor lifestyle choices is by far the biggest reason people become obese and YOU KNOW IT.

This TED talk is nothing short of amazing. I wish more medical professionals taught and felt this way, but they are few and far between. I know firsthand that the numbers mentioned in regard to body shape bias in the medical community are true, and how greatly that bias (often outright discrimination) has negatively affected my life/health. I cant imagine how different my life would've been had I received proper medical treatment! I sincerely hope that a big change is coming in regard to the treatment of patients with obesity, and am grateful to Dr. Zentner for adding their voice and expertise to it .

It’s very sad that she’s so empathetic in talks yet I was her patient and she treated me horribly - people have very mixed experiences with her, I’ve heard horrible stories. But it’s good she fights for obesity.

Some people have a disease that makes them unable to lose weight. In the vas majority of cases it is just laziness

Looking at her, looks to me like she herself is
starting to go down that slippery slope!!
