Starting with the basics: Common obesity cases in practice with Drs. Rishi Handa & Taniya Nagpal

<p><strong>This special live episode of Scale Up Your Practice was recorded at the 2026 Canadian Obesity Summit in Montreal this past March.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Roshan Abraham is joined by guest host Dr. Taniya Nagpal and special guest Dr. Rishi Handa for a case-based conversation about what obesity care can look like when healthcare professionals move beyond standardized answers and build care around the person in front of them.</p><p>Through three common clinical cases, the episode explores how culture, patient goals, medication side effects, language used in referrals, weight bias, and clinical humility can shape the care experience. The conversation also asks a deeper question: what happens when standard practice stops being helpful and starts becoming a barrier?</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode</strong></p><p>- Why evidence-based obesity assessment must look beyond standard BMI cut-offs, especially when caring for diverse populations</p><p>- How weight bias and anticipatory stigma can shape clinical encounters before the appointment even begins</p><p>- What healthcare professionals can include in referrals to make obesity care more specific, respectful, and collaborative</p><p>- Why patient goals, function, culture, heritage, and lived experience need to be part of the care plan</p><p>- How interprofessional care can support people starting obesity pharmacotherapy, including side effect management and nutrition support</p><p>- Why culturally safe care means asking better questions instead of relying on one-size-fits-all advice</p><p><strong>Additional resources</strong></p><p>Canadian Adult Obesity Clinical Practice Guidelines: <a href="https://utm.guru/up0gz" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://utm.guru/up0gz</a> </p><p>Free course: Obesity Assessment Essentials: <a href="https://utm.guru/up0gA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://utm.guru/up0gA</a>  </p><p>Free course: Words Matter: The Consequences of Weight Bias &amp; Stigmatizing Language: <a href="https://utm.guru/up0gB" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://utm.guru/up0gB</a>  </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Weight bias and stigma research from Dr. Nagpal</strong></p><p>- Widespread misconceptions about pregnancy for women living with obesity <a href="https://utm.guru/up0gG" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://utm.guru/up0gG</a> </p><p>- Women’s Suggestions for How to Reduce Weight Stigma in Prenatal Clinical Settings: <a href="https://utm.guru/up0gH" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://utm.guru/up0gH</a> </p><p><br><strong>Calibre: Practical Clinical Strategies for Obesity Management</strong></p><p>If this episode leaves you thinking about how to strengthen your own approach to obesity care, Obesity Canada’s Calibre course is designed to help.</p><p>Calibre is an accredited course for healthcare professionals who want practical, evidence-based tools they can apply in real clinical settings.
