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.

I am a healthcare professional with extensive experience in obesity and lifestyle medicine, passionate about improving patient outcomes through evidence-based care. As a group leader, I aim to promote the consistent delivery of obesity counseling by primary care providers, focusing on culturally humble approaches to weight management. With a background in educating healthcare professionals and working directly with patients to reverse chronic diseases, I believe in empowering clinicians to address obesity and its comorbidities through actionable, patient-centered strategies. I am excited to lead this initiative and support lasting change in patient care.
