Hello listeners! You're going to LOVE today's episode about obesity. Dr. Bonnet & I had such a rich discussion without infusing shame or guilt, but instead offering up great info, science around obesity, what works and what doesn't, and much more. 

Today's guest is Jonathan Bonnet, MD - physician certified in family, sports, obesity, & lifestyle medicine. He also maintains his certification in exercise physiology (his first love). WOW! What a wealth of knowledge he is! And inspiring too. He currently practices at the Palo Alto VA where he works with an inter-disciplinary team of experts that help veterans achieve their best health. He is active in the lifestyle medicine community and serves as a leader for other providers on a similar mission. His non-dogmatic approach to meeting people where they are is so refreshing. No doubt you will learn a lot from him!

Here's the Lifestyle Medicine Assessment TOOL.
