> Hardly seems like something a doctor would assure someone was of no consequence to their overall health.

The article doesn't say the doctor did. Reread it again, it says:

I don’t generally view my body size as positive or negative — it simply is. I eat right (most of the time) and I exercise (an inordinate amount), but it does little, thanks to a struggle with polycystic ovarian syndrome and a failing thyroid gland. I’m strong, I’m flexible and my doctor assures me my health is good, but the fact remains: I’m larger than someone my height should be.

Sounds to me like she already knows, is getting on with her life, and is making good, healthy choices.
