Overweight and obesity are at the center of a complex interaction between our genetic predisposition to carry weight and the environment we find ourselves in. It is important to understand that it is NOT an issue of laziness or lack of self-control, it is in fact a medical condition that requires proper treatment. If it was simply a matter of knowing which foods to eat, most of us would not have a weight problem. Unfortunately, the environment can be overwhelmingly stacked against us in terms of the food choices we realistically have available to us, the time we have to prepare healthy meals and the stress of a modern busy lifestyle. Medications such as semaglutide, tirzepatide and phentermine can level the playing field and empower you to make healthy choices for your life by reducing appetite and food cravings.
