REBOOT #324: Obesity Medicine FAQ with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford
Aug 21, 2023, 07:00 AM
We’re taking a short summer break, but we’ll be back in September with brand-new episodes. Can’t wait? Join our Kashlak family at patreon.com/curbsiders for access to twice-monthly bonus episodes… there are already 9 of them available to feed your brain hole! Yummy!
Obesity treatment has been around since the 1950s but we’ve been underutilizing it for far too long! Not only that, we’ve been thinking about obesity the wrong way for decades. Join us with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford (@AskDrFatima) of Massachusetts General Hospital as we reframe our approach to this disease and learn tips on prescribing older, but still very effective, medications used to treat obesity.
