The Communication Tool Every Healthcare Provider Needs But Was Never Taught

Get the 5 scripts healthcare providers use to deliver excellent care without causing shame - so your patients feel safe, stay engaged, and refer others to your practice



You became a healthcare provider to help people feel better. But when patients in larger bodies walk into your office, you might find yourself:



👉 Defaulting to "lose weight" advice when you're not sure what else to say
👉 Feeling uncomfortable discussing treatment without mentioning body size
👉 Watching patients shut down after making comments about their weight
👉 Wondering if you're accidentally causing harm when you're trying to help.


You're not alone. Most healthcare providers were never taught how to communicate with fat patients without creating shame.
These 5 scripts give you the exact words to use in the most common shame-inducing situations:

  • âś… Script #1: What to say when patients ask "Is my weight causing this pain?"
    âś… Script #2: How to give the same treatment advice you'd give anyone (without mentioning weight)
    âś… Script #3: How to respond when patients put down their own bodies
    âś… Script #4: What to say when patients expect weight loss advice from you
    âś… Script #5: How to discuss treatment modifications without blaming body size

What you'll get...

What people are saying
"I used Script #1 with a patient last week and she actually relaxed for the first time during treatment. Made me realize how much my old responses were putting people on edge."


"Honestly, these just gave me permission to treat everyone the same way - based on what I'm actually seeing clinically, not what I think I should say about their body."
