Is obesity a disease or a choice? Why is weight loss so difficult to maintain? What roles do hormones play within the gut-brain axis in the pathophysiology of obesity? What are the comorbidities associated with obesity? And why does the obesity epidemic continue to grow despite a wealth of information? Join series host Dr Robert Kushner, Medical Director of the Center for Lifestyle Medicine at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, as he interviews fellow experts in the field of obesity on how they tackle everyday challenges when treating patients with obesity and shares advice on how clinicians can optimize patient outcomes in this ever-evolving disease area.
