“....Encourage people to think of obesity as a chronic disease, like high blood pressure or diabetes.”

The hope is that new treatments will encourage people to think of obesity as a chronic disease, like high blood pressure or diabetes.

Obesity needs to be treated as a chronic disease like diabetes or high blood pressure- not as a character flaw or stigma.

"I’ve spent almost three decades hearing I am a ticking time bomb and that I’d be dead by 30 and I am deeply, profoundly tired of it."

If only big Pharma would embrace this truth!

Mounting research shows that there is no magic bullet to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, allergies, digestive disorders, headaches, fatigue, or any of the myriad problems we suffer from in the 21st century.⁣
⁣
But increasing evidence also shows us something else. It shows that food is the most powerful “drug” we have not just to prevent, but also treat, cure, and reverse most chronic illnesses. Food contains information that speaks to our genes, not just calories for energy. ⁣
⁣
What you eat programs your body with messages of health or illness. We are learning from research in the field of nutrigenomics, that food “talks” to our DNA switching on or off genes that lead to health or disease.⁣
⁣
What will you eat today?⁣

The six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine focus on improving nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management/mindfulness, social connectedness and cessation of to***co and moderation of alcohol. Sounds simple, right?

Water is the best type of hydration for our bodies, and although we can get tired of it at times, we don’t want the calories

So you're not a "10" in every which way. But you're probably pretty spectacular in some way, and definitely good enough in most areas of life. If ever there were a time to stop beating yourself up for being human, it is now.
