“Weight & Measure with Mike and Zach is a panel series that brings clinicians, researchers, and experts into direct conversation with lived experience, creating space for honest dialogue about obesity, GLP-1 medications, weight loss, and long-term health.
If you’ve ever felt like decisions about obesity care are made without the people living it, or wondered what it would look like for patients to truly be part of shaping care, this conversation is for you.
This episode was recorded during the Canadian Obesity Summit (COS), hosted by Obesity Canada, where patient-centered leadership is already embedded into how the organization operates.
Across different systems, patient involvement can look very different. In some spaces, patients are invited in. In others, they are part of how decisions are made from the start. In this conversation, we explore what changes when lived experience moves beyond token inclusion and becomes part of leadership, policy, and system design—and what it would take to build systems truly centered around patients.
