Early life and education

Stanford was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and she attended the Atlanta Public Schools where she was valedictorian of Benjamin E. Mays High School [5] [6] and finalist in the International Science and Engineering Fair. [7] [8] She received a Martin Luther King Scholarship to complete undergraduate studies at Emory University, and also completed a Master of Public Health degree at the same university. [9] [10] She is a Diamond Life Member of Delta Sigma Theta. [11]

Stanford completed her medical training at the Medical College of Georgia, where she was the first black class president. [12] She completed her medical residency at the University of South Carolina and her fellowship in obesity medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. [13] She completed her Master of Public Administration at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government as a Zuckerman Fellow in the Center for Public Leadership [14] and her Executive Master of Business Administration at Quantic School of Business and Technology. [15]

Career

She has served as the chair of the Minority Affairs Section (MAS) for the American Medical Association, [16] [17] chair of the American College of Physicians Obesity Advisory Committee, [17] executive committee member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Obesity, [18] The Obesity Society Advocacy, Public Affairs, and Regulatory Board of Directors member, [19] the American Board of Obesity Medicine Outreach and Awareness Committee, [20] and the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Heart Association Board of Directors. [21]

She is the director of diversity and inclusion for the Nutrition Obesity Research Center at Harvard (NORCH). [22] Through the NIH, she serves as the director of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center (NORC) working group on workforce diversity. [23]

Stanford's research focuses on the utilization of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy after bariatric surgery, [24] [25] [26] outcomes and utility of adolescent bariatric surgery, [27] [28] [29] pharmacotherapy for the treatment for obesity, [30] [31] [32] physician and education and training in obesity care. [33] [34] [35] [36] She has also published work in COVID-19 disparities with Esther Duflo and Marcella Alsan. [37] [38] [39]

Stanford has conducted interviews with the New York Times, [40] USA Today, [41] Time, [42] U.S. News & World Report, [43] Glamour, [44] and NPR. [45] [46] On January 1, 2023, Stanford appeared on 60 Minutes with Lesley Stahl, stating obesity is a chronic disease and that there is physician bias against those with excess weight [47] In an interview with Deborah Roberts on addressing weight stigma, Dr. Stanford advocates to eliminate bias towards those with higher weights. [48] Oprah Winfrey interviewed Dr. Stanford as an obesity expert for her "The Life You Want Class: The State of the Weight" on Oprah Daily. [49] In this interview, she teaches about the science of obesity as a chronic disease. [50] In an interview with Sanjay Gupta for his CNN Chasing life podcast, she coined the term "street corner medicine" to refer to the assumption that people judge people based on their size-- they assume that heavier people are unhealthy and leaner people are healthy without investigating whether this is factual by evaluating metabolic health parameters such as blood pressure, cholesterol, liver function tests, blood sugar, etc. [51]

She was deputy editor for Contemporary Clinical Trials . [52]

In 2018, Stanford said she was racially profiled when administering medical assistance to a fellow passenger on a Delta Airlines flight. Flight attendants did not believe that she was a physician despite her presenting her medical license to them. [53] [54] [55] [56] [57]

The United States Department of Health and Human Services and United States Department of Agriculture named Dr. Stanford to the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Advisory Committee as one of 20 nationally recognized nutrition and public health experts. [58]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Weight loss</span> Reduction of the total body mass

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, by a mean loss of fluid, body fat, or lean mass. Weight loss can either occur unintentionally because of malnourishment or an underlying disease, or from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state. "Unexplained" weight loss that is not caused by reduction in calorific intake or increase in exercise is called cachexia and may be a symptom of a serious medical condition.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fad diet</span> Popular diet with claims not supported by science

A fad diet is a diet that is popular, generally only for a short time, similar to fads in fashion, without being a standard scientific dietary recommendation, and often making unreasonable claims for fast weight loss or health improvements; as such it is often considered a type of pseudoscientific diet. Fad diets are usually not supported by clinical research and their health recommendations are not peer-reviewed, thus they often make unsubstantiated statements about health and disease.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gastric bypass surgery</span> Type of bariatric surgery

Gastric bypass surgery refers to a technique in which the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower "remnant" pouch and then the small intestine is rearranged to connect to both. Surgeons have developed several different ways to reconnect the intestine, thus leading to several different gastric bypass procedures (GBP). Any GBP leads to a marked reduction in the functional volume of the stomach, accompanied by an altered physiological and physical response to food.

Bariatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the causes, prevention, and treatment of obesity.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Very-low-calorie diet</span> Diet with very or extremely low daily food energy consumption

A very-low-calorie diet (VLCD), also known as semistarvation diet and crash diet, is a type of diet with very or extremely low daily food energy consumption. VLCDs are defined as a diet of 800 kilocalories (3,300 kJ) per day or less. Modern medically supervised VLCDs use total meal replacements, with regulated formulations in Europe and Canada which contain the recommended daily requirements for vitamins, minerals, trace elements, fatty acids, protein and electrolyte balance. Carbohydrates may be entirely absent, or substituted for a portion of the protein; this choice has important metabolic effects. Medically supervised VLCDs have specific therapeutic applications for rapid weight loss, such as in morbid obesity or before a bariatric surgery, using formulated, nutritionally complete liquid meals containing 800 kilocalories or less per day for a maximum of 12 weeks.

Bariatric surgery is a medical term for surgical procedures used to manage obesity and obesity-related conditions. Long term weight loss with bariatric surgery may be achieved through alteration of gut hormones, physical reduction of stomach size, reduction of nutrient absorption, or a combination of these. Standard of care procedures include Roux en-Y bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, from which weight loss is largely achieved by altering gut hormone levels responsible for hunger and satiety, leading to a new hormonal weight set point.

Management of obesity can include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery. Although many studies have sought effective interventions, there is currently no evidence-based, well-defined, and efficient intervention to prevent obesity.

Obesity medicine is a field of medicine dedicated to the comprehensive treatment of patients with obesity. Obesity medicine takes into account the multi-factorial etiology of obesity in which behavior, development, environment, epigenetic, genetic, nutrition, physiology, and psychosocial contributors all play a role. As time progresses, we become more knowledgeable about the complexity of obesity, and we have ascertained that there is a certain skill set and knowledge base that is required to treat this patient population. Clinicians in the field should understand how a myriad of factors contribute to obesity including: gut microbiota diversity, regulation of food intake and energy balance through enteroendocrine and neuroregulation, and adipokine physiology. Obesity medicine physicians should be skilled in identifying factors which have contributed to obesity and know how to employ methods to treat obesity. No two people with obesity are alike, and it is important to approach each patient as an individual to determine which factors contributed to their obesity in order to effectively treat each patient. Physicians specializing in obesity medicine may choose to obtain board certification by the American Board of Obesity Medicine.
