This week’s blog is highlighting the paradigm change that is happening now due to the lessons learned from the intensity of this pandemic as it relates to obesity. I believe we are at a turning point where awareness of the need to address one’s underlying intrinsic health, and not just managing chronic disease, has confronted us. Unfortunately, we are learning that healthcare is not always available and/or successful, and reversing chronic disease is more important than ever. Fortunately, the human body has incredible power to heal, and the reason I have devoted my life to treating obesity is that it is so impactful at changing the underlying health status of an individual.
