Obesity and the various diseases and conditions it leads to is the single greatest killer of humans throughout the world. While this statement is quite impactful, there are many factors that must be understood when making it. Another dilemma science is trying to uncover is described by the old chicken or egg origin. Is the lack of exercise and poor eating habits, establishing pathological symptoms and a dysfunctional endocrine system, and a side effect is the excessive fat accumulation? Or, is the fat accumulation, especially the fat in the visceral locations, which then causes the various symptoms, including fatigue and joint pain, which would further limit the capacity or willingness to exercise, thus causing further fat accumulation and sedentary lifestyle.
Join Dr. Kelly for this insightful webinar diving into this topic, and learn about designing programs that stop people from dying, start them on a lifestyle that enhances quality of life, and YES, the side effect of looking better.
