Course Description

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking TED talk that challenges conventional wisdom about obesity, examining the possibility that weight gain may not be solely attributed to overeating. Delve into the insights of Peter Attia, MD, President and co-Founder of the Nutrition Science Initiative, as he questions our current understanding of obesity science and advocates for a shift in perspective. Learn why Dr. Attia believes clinicians and society should reconsider their approach to weight-related issues and stop placing blame on individuals struggling with obesity. This 16-minute presentation encourages viewers to think critically about the root causes of the "obesity crisis" and consider alternative explanations for this complex health issue.
