In fact, I have previously focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/personalized-diets-and-naturopathic-medicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personalized diets and how certain nutrients<\/a> can impact mental, emotional, and physical health. I also have discussed <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/a-personalized-diet-and-naturopathic-medicine-approach-to-nourishing-the-body-with-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how genetic variations in individuals<\/a> can impact metabolism of certain foods and that taking this into account can assist with <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/is-it-really-possible-to-tweak-levels-to-just-right-using-synthetic-or-bioidentical-hormones\/\">optimizing hormonal balance<\/a> and overall wellness.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/respiratory-clean-air-immune-system-essential-oils-health-at-every-size\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I continue to be very concerned<\/a> about how diet culture messages are taking over health care, nutrition, the fitness industry, and society. There is a current trend in medicine to promote\u00a0 \u201chealthy eating\u201d (a.k.a eliminating whole categories of food groups) and weight loss as a main treatment for chronic diseases. Although diet and exercise do have a strong impact on health outcomes, they are not the sole, or most important factor to address in many cases. Furthermore, weight is <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/diet-culture-healthcare-fitness-nutrition-health-at-every-size-anti-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">not an accurate measure of wellness.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yet, the message that is being portrayed is that if someone has an illness, it is their fault for not eating right, exercising enough, or losing more weight. This is simply not true. Disease is multi-factorial and has a variety of factors and complexities to it.<\/p>\n<p>Even more disconcerting is the underlying message of shaming people with larger bodies and the promotion of the idea that a healthy body composition can make one more worthy and more acceptable to society. In fact, there is an outright alignment with diet culture messages in medicine right now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaleatingdisorders.org\/blog\/recognizing-and-resisting-diet-culture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to NEDA (National Eating Disorder Association)<\/a>, some diet culture messages include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conflating the association between body size and health and pathologizing larger body types<\/li>\n<li>The importance of following food rules about what, when, how, and how much to eat<\/li>\n<li>That body size determines if someone is more or less good, moral, or worthy<\/li>\n<li>Advocating for \u201cthin privilege,\u201d which perpetuates thinness as a factor for attaining jobs, comfort, benefits, and accommodations<\/li>\n<li>Viewing movement primarily as punishment or as a means to prevent weight gain, rather than beneficial for its effects on mental and physical health<\/li>\n<li>Believing fat people are less valuable, healthy, and risky<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This has very dangerous consequences, especially during such <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/prejudice-stigma-groupthink-medicine-health-outcomes-naturopathic-doctor-albany-ny\/\">a traumatic and tumultuous time.<\/a>\u00a0 At any time, especially now with stress at an all-time high and a <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/mind-body-medicine-naturopathic-doctors-as-support-agents-for-mental-health\/\">psychiatric crisis evident<\/a>, do we really need highly respected experts to be food and body shaming?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/diet-culture-healthcare-fitness-nutrition-health-at-every-size-anti-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In my latest post,<\/a> I review the problems with medicine aligning with diet culture and the negative impact it has on everyone, even thin people. I also plead for a call to action. I state:<\/p>\n<p><em>My hope is that healthcare will continue to advocate for \u201chealthy\u201d lifestyle practices that focus more on nurturing ourselves with foods, movement, and social practices that vitalize our minds and bodies, ignite passion, and increase relational connections within our communities. I envision a world where we strive to talk to our patients, not just about their aches and pains, but also what is hurting their souls and disrupting their lives. We need to help each other in deeper ways than providing the best tasting recipes that follow the latest dietary fad. It is time to move into a deeper discussion. I may not have the answers, but we all need to be asking the questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/diet-culture-healthcare-fitness-nutrition-health-at-every-size-anti-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read my full article<\/a> to learn more about the dangers of diet culture and begin your path to making peace with food, your body, and dismantling the harmful messages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-inner\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content single-post-content\">\n<p><strong>Learn How Naturopathic Medicine Can Support Your Health.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2020\/10\/eo-workshop-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2020\/10\/eo-workshop-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2020\/10\/eo-workshop-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2020\/10\/eo-workshop-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2020\/10\/eo-workshop-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2020\/10\/eo-workshop-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2020\/10\/eo-workshop.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-inner\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content single-post-content\">\n<div class=\"post-inner\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content single-post-content\">\n<div class=\"post-inner\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content single-post-content\">\n<div class=\"post-inner\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content single-post-content\">\n<div class=\"post-inner\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content single-post-content\">\n<div class=\"post-inner\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content single-post-content\">\n<div class=\"post-inner\">\n<p>Specializing in Mental and Emotional Health, Women\u2019s Health, and Digestive Health<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/about-dr-sarah-lobisco-naturopathic-doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to discover more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.marketingscents.com\/cp\/27753\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Access my new two-part video series<\/a> on essential oils for brain, mood, and hormonal balance!<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content single-post-content\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><em>This material is for information purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prescribe for any illness.

She is a graduate of the accredited, four year post-graduate program in Naturopathic Medicine at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. This program includes clinical rotations and a demanding scientific curriculum in integrating conventional and natural medicine. Dr. LoBisco holds her license from the state of Vermont. Dr. LoBisco has completed her postdoctoral training as a certified functional medicine practitioner. She is also certified in Applied Kinesiology and holds a BA in psychology from SUNY Geneseo.
