Obesity is a serious chronic disease. According to the CDC, 1 in 5 children and 2 in 5 adults struggle with obesity, and 22 states in the US have an adult obesity prevalence at or above 35%.1 While these statistics are staggering, the health consequences of obesity are even more alarming. People with obesity see an impact on their metabolic health, including a rise in hypertension and cholesterol levels, and an increase in risk for diabetes, CVD, and MASLD.2 The biomechanical effects of obesity hip, knee, back, joint pain, and arthritis and the toll this condition takes on a person s psychological health are equally significant concerns. Pharmacological interventions are having a profound impact on the obesity epidemic in the US. But where do tried-and-true lifestyle modifications fit into this new paradigm? Join Neil Skolnik, MD, for an interprofessional webinar that dives deep into how members of the care team can work together to help their patients and clients win the fight against obesity. Dr. Skolnik discusses the rise of obesity as a chronic disease and how the new world of pharmacological interventions should not and does not edge out the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. He discusses how adopting healthy eating patterns, exercising more, and preserving lean body mass result in better health outcomes and help maintain a healthy weight when pharmacological interventions are stopped. Learn how to collaborate with health care team members to ensure patients with obesity are armed with the knowledge to lose weight and keep it off safely, all while improving their health overall.
