on the sofa today to talk about something so important.
Obesity is a disease, not a choice. Weight stigma and discrimination are harmful & need to end. People living with obesity should have access to support & services 👩🏽⚕️

Dr Zoe’s life lesson number 1. Be able to laugh at yourself and give others permission to laugh at you...🤣
There’s a good old saying that “Laughter is the best medicine” so here’s a dose of goodness from me to you. Enjoy 😉
Please note no doctors were seriously harmed! 🤣
Like many I’m becoming more plastic aware. By no means am I perfect but I’m finding it more and more shocking to see the unnecessary overuse of plastic in our supermarkets. It would really help us all if supermarkets took action to “Please reduce plastic now!”

Just a reminder that
@DrSarahJarvis
is a doctor and a media medic.
Caprice is a celebrity! Be careful who you listen to out there. Sense would say that the Dr is more likely to be correct! 🤔
“Let us make no mistake about this, we are not going to solve this.”
Dr Sarah Jarvis disputes Caprice's claim that the best thing to do to contain coronavirus would be a two-week lockdown, saying: "It has categorically not worked."

This is a fantastic idea to help those on a tight budget have access to fresh, seasonal fruit and veg. And also reduces waste too. I dread to think what happens to slightly bruised F&V in supermarkets? Let’s spread the word about this awesome initiative. Well done
@LidlUK
A fruitful idea for cutting food waste: we're trialling new 5kg boxes of fruit and veg that is slightly damaged, but still perfectly good to eat, for just £1.50.
It's being piloted in 122 of our stores, so if you come across any, let us know what you think.

Mindfulness can be hugely helpful for many, but can take practice. “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again”. If like me you still struggle with quiet mindfulness, exercise can be a form of mindfulness too. Especially if it also require concentration 🤺🧗🏽♀️💃🏾🤼♂️

Type 2 Diabetes Remission. Yes it’s possible. And should be the aim, especially for those with recent diagnosis. Soon starting our own T2 Lifestyle intervention at my practice. Patients can opt for VLCD, Low Carb or TRF, with group consultations and clinician support 👍🏽👩🏽⚕️🙌🏽👫❤️
Is it possible to reverse Type 2 diabetes? Fortunately for some, yes is the answer, and weight loss is the main factor, however for some it's not that straightforward as

Lots of talk about vaccinations this week. Rather than be another Dr who is stating the reasons why children should be vaccinated I thought I’d share this... Me having my MMR a couple of weeks ago (If you were born between 1980–1990 you may not have been vaccinated against mumps)
