Join us for a lively discussion about the complexity of weight loss, why achieving and maintaining your target weight can be so challenging, and the numerous approaches one can take to successfully lose weight. We will explore the basic science of weight gain/loss. Weight loss medication options including new groundbreaking advances, will be covered, along with information on each option’s risks and benefits. You will learn ways to outsmart your physiology without medication, including dietary considerations and a focus on your microbiome. The under-appreciated but pivotal role of the mind in achieving and maintaining long-term weight loss will also be discussed.
