Consider this shocking statistic: As recently as 1995, only 15.8% of adults in the U.S. had the disease obesity, which is currently defined as a BMI of 30 or higher.

Today, that number has skyrocketed to a jaw dropping 43%! And when you include those with a BMI over 25, the definition of overweight, over ⅔ of US adults have either obesity or overweight.

If you carry excess weight, please know that it is not your fault. The science is very clear that this is NOT a disease of willpower. It’s not a personality flaw. This is a DISEASE and for many people it is a chronic progressive disease.

Fortunately, we have new, science based tools, including medications, to help us fight this trend. Join Dr. Lisa as she gives an overview of why you might consider medication for weight loss. The information in today's podcast is for information only and should not be considered medical advice.
