✅ The weight problem is multifactorial - it has genetic, biological, psychological, lifestyle, and environmental components. 14:07
👉 "If I had $1 for every time someone told me to eat less and move more..." - it's not people's fault that they’re dealing with obesity. 19:57
🎯 Dr. Renu's medical history form is 15 pages long - it's essential to listen and know what to focus on. 23:16
✔️ Sometimes it's more about improving health and feeling better than losing weight. 27:47
💊 A little bit about drugs - there are many meds people can use to lose weight if they qualify. 31:37
💸 It's ideal to go to a physician who specializes in your illness, or a primary care physician that you trust: the Hollywood approach is the scariest part. 35:09
🤑 A greedy industry victimizes people: for some people using meds can make lifestyle changes easier. 40:45
❤️ Dealing with obesity and being overweight is a holistic process that can be a source of growth. 43:35
