It’s not you that’s broken—it’s the weight loss model
An ethical approach starts here
Dr. Ashley White is an ethical obesity medicine doctor who guides patients, practitioners, and organizations to end diets and start real healing.
Everyone’s trying to simplify weight loss. What we really need is to honour complexity.
“Eat clean and exercise more” doesn’t help anyone.
Around here, we believe weight loss the right way helps each person understand their appetite, trust their body, and become the expert in their own experience.

I’m Dr. Ashley White
Metabolic Strategist | Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine
MD CCFP-EM MPH DipABOM
Weight loss the right way doesn’t tell you what rigid rules to follow.
It doesn’t hand you a medication or a diet and say, “Good luck.” And it definitely doesn’t treat you as a problem to solve or rely on generic “eat less, move more” advice.
Weight loss the right way helps each individual understand their unique metabolic intelligence—and what motivates them beyond a number on the scale.
My mission is to move healthcare from transactions to real transformations at every level. You in?
Appetite is a superpower, not a problem to be controlled
Here’s what ethical obesity medicine looks like:
Teach Appetite Literacy
Understanding appetite is one of the biggest gaps in metabolic medicine. When patients recognize the difference between physical hunger and other eating triggers, they can learn to work with the body's signals. It’s regulating, not restraining.
Personalize the Approach
Rigid protocols and diets don’t consider each person’s individuality. Instead of telling people what to do, we help them understand what their body responds to so they can design their own health strategies that work with their biology, not against it.
Prove Weight Is Not a Moral Issue
The standard system treats obesity as a moral issue rather than the complex medical condition it is. Patients haven’t failed. The traditional system of treating weight has failed them. I want to end the cycle where people blame themselves for their body’s adaptive responses.
“My experience working with Dr. Ashley White has been very different from working with other MDs.”
“Dr. White really understands the gap NDs are primed to fill in our healthcare system. She has helped me feel a lot more confident supporting patients on weight loss medications…She’s spearheaded a collaborative care model for patients trying to lose weight, and she’s created something that’s helped us see fantastic results at our clinic.”
