Dr. Ania Jastreboff is an endocrinologist and associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine. In this video, recorded during Oprah’s “Making the Shift: A New Way to Think About Weight,” she’ll explain why obesity is defined as “a disease” (a neurometabolic disease, to be specific) and why that’s important for addressing its causes and treatments. She also discusses the facts and fiction about weight loss medications and why the option might be (or might not be) explored for some of her patients - and how you, and only you, can make the decision about what’s best for your health.
“Making the Shift,” which aired on May 9 to a live studio audience, unpacks the multifaceted, preconceived notions we have about weight, from the profound impact diet culture has had on our society to how we can reframe harmful narratives surrounding our weight and our bodies. The conversation - featuring Rebel Wilson, Busy Philipps, Amber Riley, and many others - brought together individuals, communities and medical experts to bridge the science of “weight” with a new outlook that brings the health and wellbeing of our bodies into focus.
