Listen Later

Obesity is a complex, chronic disease of excessive or abnormally accumulated body fat that significantly increasing the risk of various medical conditions. As the most prevalent chronic disease in the United States—affecting 40% of the population—and impacting 1 in 8 people globally, finding reliable, clinically accurate, and patient-friendly information online can be challenging. To address this gap, AACE developed the “AACE Journey for Patients With Obesity,” a comprehensive resource designed to empower people with obesity to navigate their condition, treatment options, and wellness goals. In this episode, leading endocrinologists Elizabeth Bauer, MD, FACP; Cheryl Rosenfeld, DO, FACE, FACP, FSVM, ECNU; and Kenneth Izuora, MD, MBA, FACE, discuss the journey’s development using the latest guidelines, including the integration of adiposity-based chronic disease (ABCD) terminology, which addresses the stigma associated with obesity. They also highlight the collaboration with the Obesity Action Coalition to ensure the resource is patient-centered and explain how both patients and health care professionals can utilize it to enhance care and improve outcomes. Support for this podcast was provided in part by Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim.
