This interview covers topics like genetics and weight loss, weight loss medications, cognitive behavioural therapy, weight stigma and other approaches to treating obesity including the pros and cons of bariatric surgery. In this interview, Lindsay Dixon sits down with Michael Boivin BSc.Phm CDE to discuss the science behind obesity, why it's increasingly difficult to lose weight as we age and the new shift to focus on a concept called "Best Weight" focusing on value based goals rather than just a number on a scale. If you're struggling with weight management or obesity, or you are a healthcare professional who wants to better help your community, this interview will give you the answers you've been looking for.
