Obesity and metabolic disorders such as diabetes, pre-diabetes, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome are some of the most serious health conditions affecting individuals in the United States. Obesity is a complex, chronic, relapsing, multifactorial, neurobehavioral disease with adverse metabolic, physical, and psychosocial health consequences. It is not a character flaw or just about will power.

The Lifestyle and Metabolic Medicine care team creates a positive environment focused on education and encouragement, eliminating the blame and shame that can be associated with being overweight or obese.
