ModernMedicine/Physician's Focus
Tackling Obesity Head On

Two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese, but treatments for obesity itself are sparsely used and most of the estimated $150 billion in annual obesity-related spending results from treating the disorders that obesity causes, including diabetes and hypertension. ModernMedicine presents articles that make a case for taking on obesity directly and motivating patients to lose weight through increased activity and effective dieting.

Covered in this Physician’s Focus:

  • How to apply a lifestyle approach to counsel overweight patients
  • Putting weight loss into clinical practice
  • Lorcaserin: A novel, selective 5-HT2C-receptor agonist for the treatment of obesity
  • BLOG: Doc, It's All in My Genes!
  • PATIENT HANDOUT: Exercise and weight loss
