⭐️ The Wegovy approval for the treatment of MASH with moderate-to-advanced scarring was granted to Novo Nordisk. 🤩

Wegovy shows promise in treating MASH.
🟢 63% of participants had MASH resolution with no worsening of liver scarring (vs. 34% on placebo).
🟢 37% saw fibrosis improvement with no worsening of MASH (vs. 22% on placebo).
The trial continues to 240 weeks to see if these early gains lead to fewer deaths, transplants, and liver-related complications.

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) 2025 Consensus Statement: Algorithm for the Evaluation and Treatment of Adults with Obesity/Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease (ABCD) has officially been released. This updated clinical algorithm reinforces that Obesity is a complex, chronic condition requiring sustained, individualized care.

The 2025 guidance shifts the focus from weight-centric metrics to a complication-centric approach, emphasizing the optimization of overall health rather than solely targeting weight reduction or body mass index (BMI). Treatment decisions—including the choice and intensity of interventions—should be tailored to the individual's disease stage and severity.

Importantly, the statement integrates a biopsychosocial chronic care model, advocating for equitable care and actively addressing weight bias and stigma throughout the clinical process. This model recognizes the multifactorial nature of obesity and promotes long-term engagement and support.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be reviewing key components of this algorithm with you. To begin, let’s focus on medical management. I particularly appreciate the updated summary table, which clearly outlines percentile weight loss targets and corresponding therapeutic options. This framework allows clinicians to match anti-obesity medications to the patient’s specific needs. If the desired weight loss exceeds what pharmacotherapy can reasonably achieve, metabolic and bariatric surgery should be considered as part of the treatment continuum.

✨ We’re quick to say “please” and “thank you” to others… but how often do we show the same kindness to ourselves?

Taking a moment each day to notice your strengths, your progress, and the good in your life can:
💙 Reduce stress
💙 Boost self-esteem
💙 Improve mental health
💙 Build resilience

This week, pause to appreciate your body, your mind, and the steps you’ve taken. A little self-gratitude goes a long way—and can create a ripple of positivity in every part of your life. 🌿💫
