Why let ourselves get fooled by all the sensationalism out there when it comes to health and wellness when we can take simple steps towards our well-being’s betterment?

There’s been a lot of bias when it comes to obesity and obesity management, so much that it has already pushed people to shame themselves. Patients come in every now and then, saying they should be able to do things alone, just by themselves. 

But this isn’t supposed to happen, that’s why we’re here with another episode of the Nutrition and Obesity in the News segment. Make sure to tune in as Dr. Adrienne discusses anxiety screening, use of weight loss drugs, using food to soothe, and prioritizing sleep.

In this episode, Dr. Adrienne shares her take on recent news released in the past month about anxiety screening, use of weight loss drugs, using food to soothe, and prioritizing sleep as she gives actionable bites you can use to take action towards better health and well-being.

 

What you will learn from this episode:

  • Understand why our teenagers need to get more sleep, in line with the reason on why they should prioritize it;
  • Recognize the role that we play when it comes to our hunger for highly palatable food and why we shouldn’t use food to soothe difficult emotions; and
  • Why you should be prepared for an anxiety screening during your annual visit and learn whether or not you’re a candidate for drugs on anti-obesity

 

“As always, this is not about an expert telling you, you know, prompting fear. This is not about the nocebo effect and what we can't do. This podcast is all about empowering you and what we can do.”– Dr. Adrienne Youdim
