Abstract

This book serves as a comprehensive guide for clinicians on how to effectively discuss obesity with their patients. Written by Sandra Christensen, it addresses the increasing prevalence of obesity as a chronic disease and the significant health risks associated with it. The author's goal is to educate and motivate clinicians to initiate conversations about obesity, emphasizing the availability and importance of effective treatments. The book provides insights into the challenges faced by both patients and clinicians, including societal biases and the lack of insurance coverage for obesity treatment. It also includes evidence-based treatment strategies, real-world clinical scenarios, and communication techniques to facilitate productive discussions. The intended audience is healthcare professionals seeking to improve patient outcomes through informed and compassionate dialogue about obesity.
