The Obesity Medicine Association's full clinical algorithm for treating obesity as a chronic disease. The takeaway: obesity is biology, not willpower - and it is treatable.
A landmark research paper on why keeping weight off is so much harder than losing it: after weight loss the body burns fewer calories and ramps up hunger to pull the weight back on. It is biology, not a lack of willpower.
People on GLP-1s do eat less - but that's not really why the weight comes off. The real driver is the biology underneath the math. Here's what's actually happening.
A quick green-flag / yellow-flag / red-flag checklist (plus questions to ask) for choosing a provider who treats GLP-1s as long-term, whole-person medicine - not a refill mill.
An expert workshop report on why preventing regain is the hardest part of weight loss: after losing weight, both appetite and metabolism adapt to pull you back. Here's what the science says.
A landmark study showing that after weight loss, your appetite hormones shift to drive regain - and those changes are still there a year later. It's biology, not willpower.
Six years after the competition, contestants had regained much of the weight - and their metabolisms were still burning hundreds of calories a day less than expected. A landmark look at lasting metabolic adaptation.
The Obesity Medicine Association's clinical statement: defining obesity as a chronic disease, diagnosing it beyond BMI, reducing weight bias, and running an obesity-medicine practice.
A review proposing that everyday environmental chemicals - in air, food, packaging, and household products - disrupt hormones and metabolism in ways that promote weight gain, alongside diet and lifestyle.
A foundational review showing you don't need to reach an "ideal" weight to get healthier - a modest 5-10% loss meaningfully improves blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
