Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam Join Dr. Jamie Gilliam and special guest, Sean Mulroney for an open and enlightening conversation on this Heal Your Body episode: The Truth About Obesity. Sean has been fighting obesity his entire adult life and shares his personal journey to shed light on the everyday struggles faced by individuals contending with this disease. Many people do not understand that obesity is a multifaceted disease, reaching far beyond its visible aspects, encompassing a complex interplay of genetic, medical, psychological, environmental, lifestyle, and socio-economic factors. Dr. Jamie and Sean explore the necessity of a comprehensive approach to tackle obesity—one that surpasses traditional diet and exercise routines, encompassing a spectrum of interventions, from medical to behavioral and nutritional support, even including bariatric surgery in certain cases. However, the discussion doesn't stoop there. Dr. Jamie and Sean candidly discuss the harsh reality of stigma surrounding obesity, dissecting how societal perceptions often cast unjust blame on individuals grappling with this complex disease. This stigma not only restricts access to vital healthcare but also perpetuates discrimination and significantly impacts mental well-being. Tune in as Dr. Jamie and Sean advocate for a paradigm shift, emphasizing the imperative need for understanding and empathy to create inclusive and supportive spaces for those navigating the challenges of obesity. Sean Mulroney is a loving father and husband living life in an extremely large body. He is the author of "Becoming Large: Addressing the Elephant in the Room" and he is an advocate for people struggling with obesity. https://amzn.to/3vbFd4J ~ More About Heal Your Body with Dr. Jamie Gilliam ~ Dr. Jamie Gilliam is the founder of JG Wellness Clinic, where they specialize in addressing various health concerns, with a focus on thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalances within the endocrine system, autoimmune diseases, and assisting patients striving to achieve weight loss goals.
