"Just do it!" is a great tagline for sneakers, but not so great for many mental and physical health issues. Sometimes, #SelfCare can lead a person straight to #SelfShame. #Obesity is real and overcoming it requires real help.

In the UK this week, #semaglutide finally launched for #obesity. Zoe Williams wonders in the Guardian if this will put an end to ignorant #blathering about people with obesity. Bitter experience tells us there’s little chance of that.

23) The #obesity wars and the education of a researcher: A personal account by K. Flegel. Quick c/p:
"We also found that overweight
was associated with slightly but significantly fewer deaths than normal weight. A quick glance at the literature suggested that our findings about overweight were not particularly unusual. We were unprepared for the firestorm that followed."

When an idea captures the imagination, it can become something like an ink stain. Tough to alter. Matthew Dalby says we should take a more critical look at the presumed role of #micobiota in #obesity.

People eagerly pluck a single factor out of the many that contribute to #obesity and proclaim "THIS IS IT!"
In Science Magazine, John Speakman, Kevin Hall, Thorkild Sørensen, and David Allison say #Speculation is good, but #knowing is better.

There's a recent US #obesity map showing #Alaska and #Alabama neck and neck for no necks, so this tracks.

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Bill Dietz, Christina Chow, and David Greenblatt describe the surprising way that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and PhRMA are failing to protect people living with #obesity.

"Novo Nordisk is the biggest contributor of corporation tax in Denmark, a boon for the country’s public finances.
And the company is expected to only grow, because there are plenty of potential patients. More than 100 million American adults have obesity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." #Denmark #obesity

Friday, we learned from Mikhail Kosiborod et al that #semaglutide helps patients with #HFpEF and #obesity. Today in Nature Medicine we learn why. It's all about providing real, effective obesity treatment.

My latest episode of "Two Minutes of Reality" hits close to home.

In this year of 2023, over 40% of American citizens suffer #obesity.

Trendy diets have never been the answer.

There's only one way to lose fat and improve one's health, and that's through #knowledge and #discipline.

"Essential Information After High School Graduation" is available for purchase, or for free on #Overdrive, and #Hoopla.

Be well.🧠
