Description: Obesity is associated with significant comorbid conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, as well as reduced quality of life and poorer mental health. While primary care providers often manage obesity-related comorbidities, obesity itself is not often directly addressed and remains undertreated. This educational program supports the consistent delivery of evidence-based obesity counseling and treatment in primary care settings. It focuses on improving the understanding and skills of primary care clinicians in working with their patients to manage their weight through evidence-based actions based in cultural humility.

Hi, I am a mother, wife, speaker, author, preceptor, coach, and, above all, a passionate clinician who loves reversing obesity and weight-related medical comorbidities. I have been in clinical practice for over twenty years. I enjoy gardening, hiking, and watching movies.

I prefer to treat people rather than simply illnesses. My mantra is to treat the cause instead of putting a bandage on the disease. I actively advocate for people struggling with weight. Moreover, as a teaching physician, I enjoy mentoring young doctors (students and residents), physician assistants, and nurse practitioner students.

I am an author and public speaker. Visit DrManekar.com for more information. Remember to include me in your upcoming speaking engagement itinerary.
I authored my book, Weight Wise, in January of this year and a Journal, Fuel and Fitness Tracker, to complement it. Check it out on Amazon books
