Episode 50: Navigating the Complexity of Redefining Obesity Care

In this episode of In the Know with Nina, Dr. Nina Crowley sits down with Dr. Marc-Andre Cornier, President, The Obesity Society, to unpack the evolving landscape of obesity diagnosis and treatment.

They discuss the Lancet Commission Report, the challenges of moving beyond BMI, and what the redefinition of obesity could mean for clinical care, insurance coverage, and early intervention.

The conversation also explores the role of body composition, the risks of compounded obesity medications, and why a comprehensive, long-term approach is essential in obesity management.

Dr. Cornier is a Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases at the Medical University of South Carolina. He recently transitioned from the University of Colorado where he was on faculty since 2001. He served as the Medical Director of Anschutz Health and Wellness Center clinic in Colorado where he oversaw a large multidisciplinary weight loss practice offering a range of weight loss programs. Dr. Cornier is currently working on growing the weight loss services at MUSC. He actively sees patients, primarily managing individuals with cardiometabolic disorders such as diabetes, lipids disorders and obesity.

He has been funded by the NIH, ADA and VA continuously for over 18 years to study the complex regulation of food intake and body weight and metabolism using a range of tools including brain imaging. Dr. Cornier also highly values his time spent as an educator and mentor.
