We have to talk about obesity , not to shame anybody, but to save somebody. Obesity is not just about body size; it’s a medical condition that can lead to high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and even certain cancers. I know, because I lived it. Two strokes. One heart attack. Type 2 diabetes. And coronary artery disease. I wasn’t lazy. I wasn’t eating because I didn’t care. I was eating because I was tired, stressed, and using food to cope , and it almost cost me my life.

You might not like this comparison, but hear me out. Many people think obesity is just about willpower and that it’s fully controllable. But biology and our environment play a huge role, just like they do with asthma. When you try to eat less, your body often fights back by making you hungrier. Add in easy access to highly tasty food, and it gets even harder. This does not mean behavior does not matter. It does. It just usually is not enough on its own for most people. Think about asthma.

Is obesity a disease? This is one of the most controversial questions. A lot of angry people mistakenly say “OBESITY IS NOT A DISEASE BECAUSE IT IS SELF-INFLICTED” which is 1) oversimplified 2) not correct, for various reasons. A brand new paper was published where they established a group of international experts, and here is a bit I would like to zoom in on. Although defining obesity as a ‘disease’ is actually very complicated for many reasons (including the definition, but also how this impac

Obesity is not your fault. It's amazing how powerful a few words can be. When I tell my patients that their struggles with obesity aren't their fault, you can see the relief wash over them. It’s like a weight has been lifted. Those moments are unforgettable. Here’s what my patients have shared with me: ✨ That first conversation changed everything. 💬 Feeling understood made all the difference. ❤️ Knowing they had a partner gave them hope. What words have made a difference in your life? #ObesityS

Jenny Katherine on Instagram: "Doctors have obesity, too. We are just people. Many of us have struggled with weight gain and loss over and over. I’ve spent the last 8 years losing 100 pounds then gaining it back then losing it… you get the picture. I currently am trying to reduce my body weight with compounded tirzepatide (and exercise of course) which is working very well for me. I’m close to my “goal weight” in terms of pounds lost, and then I will need to build up more muscle mass. (It’s inev
