What is Weight Neutral Gynaecology?

Weight neutral gynaecological care is an approach to gynaecology which focuses on optimizing the individual’s health and wellbeing. Weight is not a metric used to determine success, other metrics are used such as ovulatory status, insulin resistance, blood pressure and general well-being. This does not mean ignoring the implications of high or low body weight, because these are very real and do exist – what it means is treating body weight as a minimally modifiable risk factor.

Dr Kristi is also happy to help patients within a weight-centric framework if this is their desired approach, as she has a lot of experience in this area as well as a network of collaborating Health professionals within the Canberra community.
