Shownotes Transcript

The heterogeneity of obesity dictates that one diet, one plan, one approach simply does not and cannot work for everyone. Obesity and overweight are complex and therefore cannot be adequately addressed without comprehensive and diverse approaches to care.

Tune in to this episode to hear a thought-provoking discussion about:

  • Obesity care – what it is and why it is important
  • How obesity care and body positivity are not mutually exclusive
  • Why when it comes to diets and to people, one size does not fit all – and never will
  • How body shape may play a bigger role in the determinants of health risk than body weight alone
  • The necessity of personalized nutrition/diet
  • The negative impact of weight bias and stigma

Today's guest is obesity and health policy expert Ted Kyle RPh, MBA. Ted is a healthcare professional experienced in collaborating with leading health and obesity experts for sound policy and innovation to address health needs and the obesity epidemic in North America. For the past 10 years, Ted has dedicated his career to understanding how to address health issues and needs created by obesity.
