I am board certified in obesity medicine. I got into studying obesity because of the high number of patients I have with the disease. We’re all taught in medical school that obesity is not healthy. But actually focusing on the study of obesity and actually setting aside a significant amount of time understanding the research that has been done with obesity is very enlightening and kind of underwhelming at this point. Nonetheless, trying to convey the complex concepts of obesity management in a 15-30 minute medical appointment is near impossible.
