Abstract:
Obesity is an epidemic in America, proportionally way higher than the rest of the world. Three out of four Americans are overweight including obese. The focus of the talk is to discuss this preventable chronic disease by addressing the physical, psychological and spiritual pain that patients suffer. The talk focuses on holistic approaches to obesity including proper hydration, mindful eating, stress management, meditation and balanced life. With sample patient case studies, the goal is to inspire people to take action to achieve their healthy body and live an empowered proactive life.
Having worked over 15 years in obesity medicine my goal is to lay out a basic game plan to treat this disease with an integrative lifestyle root cause approach, not hist a quick fix of our symptoms. With personal and professional stories, I hope to inspire people to take five action steps to heal their health and achieve well-being. There is a place for prescription medicine, but the foundation of healthy living is a balanced lifestyle with a simple routine that the patients can implement consistently into their daily lives for long-term results.
