Description
Part of the Lifestyle Medicine Core Competencies program, this topic module contains two units:
- Obesity as a Lifestyle Medicine Condition | Ingrid Edshteyn, DO, MPH, DipABLM
- Lifestyle Medicine and Obesity Medicine | Ingrid Edshteyn, DO, MPH, DipABLM
The first unit provides a review of the epidemiology, determinants and assessments, and evaluation for weight management in a lifestyle medicine practice. The second unit reviews the three main components of weight management within clinical practice: nutrition, physical activity, and behavior change.
