Seeing more specialists incorporating obesity medicine into their practices is truly exciting. We're noticing an uptick in professionals getting board-certified in obesity medicine. At our upcoming conference in October, we'll discuss integrating obesity care into regular practice. The growing interest is undeniable, especially with new treatment options emerging. This shift is encouraging many to gain deeper familiarity with obesity medicine. How has your field been adapting to new medical insights? Zachary Fellows is a rheumatologist.

NACE Webcast Alert: Practical Strategies for Obesity Management in Primary Care! In this webcast, recorded from NACE’s 2024 Emerging Challenges and Clinical Updates in Primary Care, in collaboration with the American Academy of Physician Associates and The Obesity Society, Drs. Angela Golden, DNP, FAANP, FOMA and Robert Kushner, MD and Karlijn Burridge, PA-C, MMS, FOMA discuss the pathophysiology of obesity and its effects on cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic disease. They highlight explicit and implicit biases associated with obesity and describe strategies to minimize bias toward individuals affected by obesity to optimize clinical encounters. Finally, they provide an overview of a multicomponent approach to obesity that includes lifestyle intervention, behavioral therapy, and pharmacologic treatment.

At the Obesity Medicine Association conference in Denver on April 26th 2024, myself and Angela Fitch MD, FACP, FOMA, Dipl. ABOM we'll delve into the intricate relationship between body composition changes, anti-obesity medications, and clinician-led care. Our objectives include understanding key factors affecting weight management and overall health, emphasizing the importance of strength training and protein intake for muscle preservation, and designing personalized treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs. Through this presentation, attendees will gain insight into interpreting body composition data effectively, exploring diverse assessment methods to inform treatment decisions, and ultimately optimizing obesity care strategies for enhanced patient outcomes. #bodycomposition #obesity #strengthtraining #patientcare #healthoutcomes #protein #aom

Dr. Christina C. Wee is the Senior Deputy Editor of the Annals of Internal Medicine. In an editorial published today, she argues that 1. We as a society have "medicalized" obesity in a way that reduces focus on interventions outside the health care system (for many patients, the definition narrows further to receiving a prescription for an injectable weight loss medication). 2. We have restricted our interest in addressing patients with obesity to those individuals meeting a specific body-mass index threshold rather than patients at higher levels of risk. 3. We need risk stratification tools to stage obesity risk as well as more precise phenotyping of obesity in therapeutic clinical trials, dynamic decision analyses and cost-effectiveness models. "It’s time we treat obesity as the serious health threat that it is. We were able to galvanize private, public, and health care stakeholders to address the COVID-19 pandemic in short order. Is it not time we address this other pandemic?" *I have worked for direct-to-consumer and business-to-business telemedicine companies that evaluate patients for injectable weight loss medications.

🎓 Excited to share that I've successfully completed the "Pharmacological Management of Overweight and Obesity" course, by Australasian College of Pharmacy! The program equipped me with essential knowledge and skills, enabling me to: 1. Recognize the burden of disease and risk factors associated with being overweight and obese 2. Discuss pharmacological weight management options 3. Identify the crucial role of pharmacists in managing overweight and obesity I'm looking forward to applying this expertise to provide even more comprehensive support in managing these critical health concerns. #ContinuousLearning #WeightManagement #ObesityAwareness #PharmacistRole
