With the recent release of The Lancet’s consensus article, the conversation around obesity treatment and care is evolving. To explore the implications of this shift, I’m joined by Dr. Robert Kushner, a respected expert in the field who has dedicated his career to advancing obesity medicine.

Dr. Kushner is a professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and the author of over 250 publications and several books on nutrition and obesity. He also co-founded the American Board of Obesity Medicine, contributing to the foundation of obesity care. His latest book, Patient-Centered Weight Management, offers healthcare professionals practical insights. With his extensive experience, Dr. Kushner continues to shape the direction of obesity treatment.

In this discussion, we examine the differences between clinical and preclinical obesity and address the important question: should preclinical obesity be treated? Dr. Kushner also explains why a new approach to obesity assessment is essential for the future of healthcare.

Be sure to stick around until the end for my takeaways and thoughts on how this impacts healthcare. Want to dive deeper into this discussion? Tune into the full episode and let’s unpack it all together!
