Obesity and CVD Management Resources
about this resource
I completed my American Board of Obesity Medicine certification in 2020, and that educational investment is one of the best I’ve made. I learned so much about obesity as a chronic inflammatory disease, and importantly, how we can effectively treat it. I hope to see us routinely address obesity the same way we do hypertension and hyperlipidemia in our assessments + plans.
I’ve compiled some of the more helpful resources I’ve found, from pathophysiology to primary literature to patient friendly guides, below. If you have something to add to this list, please send it my way!
plant-based eating
Here are some of the resources I use to help me eat a plant-based diet at home, plus some general takes on obesity management I like. I find exploring the recipes and perspectives from these talented nutritionists, scientists, and chefs to be a helpful starting place as I work on eating more vegetables and less processed food.
