In this episode of Docs Who Lift, the Nadolsky brothers dive deep into the newly released American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (ACE) Algorithm for Obesity Care led by Dr. Karl himself. They explore:

Why ACE moved away from a BMI-only approach to a person-centered, complication-centric model

The new staging framework (ABCD) that helps individualize treatment intensity

How to interpret “clinical” vs “preclinical” obesity under the new model

Updated targets for clinically meaningful weight loss (5%, 10%, 15% tiers)

The emphasis on resistance training, sleep, and behavioral health alongside nutrition

Practical guidance for selecting anti-obesity medications and identifying the right therapy for each patient

Whether you’re a clinician, health professional, or patient trying to understand modern obesity care, this episode breaks it all down in a practical, real-world way without the jargon.
