In this enlightening episode of Diabetes Day by Day, hosts Dr. Neil Skolnik and Dr. Sara Wettergreen engage in a profound discussion on the topic of obesity, a pressing health issue that has seen a dramatic increase over the past 50 years. They are joined by Dr. Margarita McDonald, an obesity medical specialist, along with her patient, Tamika Holland, who shares her personal journey with obesity.

This episode sheds light on the critical issue of obesity, offering both professional insights and personal experiences to foster a deeper understanding of the disease. By exploring the medical, psychological, and environmental aspects of obesity, Neil, Sara, Margarita, and Tamika provide a comprehensive overview that aims to inform, inspire, and encourage positive change in the way we view and care for obesity.
