π©ββοΈ Why Dr. Renu, an endocrinologist, chose to be an obesity medicine physician. 03:25
β Obesity is not an intrinsic characteristic: we don't say somebody is cancer, yet, we say somebody is obese - it's not a personality flaw! 10:51
β
The weight problem is multifactorial - it has genetic, biological, psychological, lifestyle, and environmental components. 14:07
π "If I had $1 for every time someone told me to eat less and move more..." - it's not people's fault that theyβre dealing with obesity. 19:57
π― Dr. Renu's medical history form is 15 pages long - it's essential to listen and know what to focus on. 23:16
βοΈ Sometimes it's more about improving health and feeling better than losing weight. 27:47
π A little bit about drugs - there are many meds people can use to lose weight if they qualify. 31:37
πΈ It's ideal to go to a physician who specializes in your illness, or a primary care physician that you trust: the Hollywood approach is the scariest part. 35:09
π€ A greedy industry victimizes people: for some people using meds can make lifestyle changes easier. 40:45
β€οΈ Dealing with obesity and being overweight is a holistic process that can be a source of growth. 43:35
