New research shows ADHD & obesity are less common in larger U.S. cities — despite fewer activity resources. Why? Urban life may boost movement + mental health access. Education & food security help. #ObesityMatters #UrbanHealth ow.ly/uamE50VVlO7

Obesity is a chronic disease — not a personal failure. It’s driven by biology, not willpower. It’s time we treat obesity like any other chronic condition: with compassion and evidence. #ObesityMatters ow.ly/JoLx50VXWR6

La Dre Julie St-Pierre tire la sonnette d’alarme : l’obésité touche 3 millions de Québécois et coûte 5,3 G$ par an. Pourtant, toujours aucune réforme. Il est temps de reconnaître l’obésité comme une maladie chronique. #ParlonsObésité #SantéPourTous

After her gastric band failed, Sheree turned to GLP-1s—but drug shortages disrupted care. She found success with endoscopic options like ESG & GMA. The future of obesity care isn’t one-size-fits-all. People deserve real choices. 💚 #ObesityCare #GLP1 ow.ly/WvbA50W812n

As Dr. Sasha High explains, chasing a number on the scale often ignores biology, sets unrealistic expectations, and leads to self-blame when weight naturally fluctuates. Instead, let’s focus on meaningful health outcomes like energy, mobility, and quality of life.
