“Obesity is absolutely a disease that requires a range of interventions and medical management… People may say ‘just eat less, have will power’ but they just don’t understand that simply does not work for many people.

Successfully treating obesity shouldn’t just be measured in lost pounds, but in not escalating to other diseases. Obesity is a base condition that then leads to or worsens so many others diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, arthritis, and even cancer.”
