We need to get health insurance companies to recognize obesity as a disease. People cannot afford the cost of these meds.

The drug companies charge 10X more for these meds in the US than they do in other countries. Insurance companies can’t afford the exorbitant prices.

Dr. Ania seems to be an amazing doctor ❤

I love it that you identify fat as energy.

My primary doctor retired. The PA took over. First time meeting me h3 did a referral for bariatic surgery. Never even asked me what I may have tried in the past.

Amazing programme

I was a skinny and active kid, teen and early 20s. I had problems with ovarian cysts since I was 21 and then I started gaining weight no matter what I ate and how physically active that I was. I had all physically demanding jobs and always struggled with weight gain. My last job before retiring was very active of walking 14km a day plus pushing patients in beds, etc. Then after having a complete hysterectomy where my last ovary, uterus, fallopian tube's and cervix were removed and I gained close to 50 lbs while still eating the same foods and being very physically active. Since being off work and medications, I gained another 69 lbs. I am so frustrated because my body is racked with pain and stiffness.

And then people will tell you that it's because you don't drink enough water or your plate sizes are too big.

I felt like the doctor was proving that she was a compassionate doctor rather than giving us tools to help us control our weight. I really didn't get much out of this video other than that.

Fast foods, factory produced over procesed food, huge portions in resaurants, sedentary life styles, not educating children about nutrition. The list goes on. Look at the difference in people in the last century before all of the above. Obesity rates have surged in that time. We have shifted in the way we get our food and how we spend our time. Easy quick fixes and less activity. How many children come home from school and imediately have access to snacks then sit infront of a game or tv till bed?

Yes! I was told by a doctor “Just shut your mouth and you will lose weight”.

But true

My Dr. said move more. Fast more.

“Our patients are shamed if they lose weight with medication; our patients are shamed if they don’t lose weight. There’s no winning.” Ummm, is the obvious fallacy in this statement evident to only me? 🤔

Does Oprah own stock in these pharmaceutical companies?

Most Doctors don’t Listen. They also just treat symptoms. Doctors need more nutrition training. It’s not thee food Pyramid.

What would be the point of getting nutrition training if that training is all wrong in the first place though?

This feels like an Oprah love fest. That doctor is a mess.
