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. Increased counseling and integrated care delivery models for weight management will improve the success of weight management programs and ultimately reduce the burden of disease seen in overweight patients.
