In this first episode of Season 2 of the Gaining Health Podcast, host Karli Burridge reviews some of the exciting updates in obesity medicine from this summer, including the AMA Position Statement on BMI, and the re-introduction of the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA).  She also dives into the importance of body composition analysis for both the diagnosis and management of obesity, and gives us a little teaser for things to come in Season 2 of the podcast.
