Weight Loss And ...

The medical world is experiencing a revolutionary shift in how obesity is treated. For years, doctors treated symptoms like diabetes and heart disease first, while weight management took a back seat. But what if we've been approaching it backwards all along? What if addressing obesity first could transform how we treat these other conditions?

Join Holly and Jim as they sit down with Dr. Marc Cornier, incoming president of The Obesity Society, to explore the groundbreaking "obesity first" approach to healthcare. Through their discussion, you'll discover why this shift isn't just changing treatment protocols – it's transforming lives and challenging long-held beliefs about weight management.

Discussed on the episode:

  • Why treating obesity first could be the key to managing multiple health conditions
  • How new medications are revolutionizing our understanding of obesity as a biological condition
  • Why the "lack of willpower" narrative about weight loss is finally being debunked
  • What patients can do to advocate for obesity-first treatment with their healthcare providers
  • A candid look at the current barriers to accessing obesity treatment
  • The exciting possibilities for obesity prevention in the future
