Updates regarding Clinical Nutrition Center in Denver, CO.

Obesity medicine specialist Ethan Lazarus, MD.

Person-first, Dr Lazarus shares his perspective on preventive approach to tackling obesity

The numbers, so commonly cited, remain staggering. Obesity affects more than one in three American adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is also often associated with 236 comorbidities, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and 13 different cancers. Yet physicians and other health professionals are too often hesitant to have open discussions about obesity with patients.

What Really Matters?

During April, I attended the Obesity Medicine Association’s (OMA) Fall conference in San Francisco. This conference educates doctors on the treatment of obesity.
