Obesity Is Not an Temporary Condition
Why do some still treat it that way?
In this episode, I welcome Dr. Angela Fitch back to explain why obesity should be seen as a chronic disease that requires long-term management, not just a temporary challenge. She discusses the risks of using medications like Wegovy and Zepbound intermittently without proper guidance.
Dr. Fitch, a physician and the immediate past president of the Obesity Medicine Association, brings years of expertise to the conversation. She also served on the Clinical Management Committee of The Obesity Society and is currently the Chief Medical Officer and founder of Knownwell, where she’s helping reshape obesity care.
We dive into why treating obesity as a short-term issue—where patients are expected to go it alone after receiving initial treatment—can be harmful. Plus, we explore what comprehensive, long-term obesity care looks like and why it’s key to sustainable health.
