Obesity is a chronic disease complicated by the body’s drive to regain any lost weight. Short-term weight loss may be accomplished through dietary interventions, but hormones, nutrients, and peptides strive for homeostasis by counteracting weight loss. Early intervention with pharmacotherapy can counteract these mechanisms, allowing the patient to maintain their weight loss. This educational activity will review mechanisms of weight loss and resistance as well as approaches to weight loss. Additionally, this activity will evaluate clinical studies and evidence of pharmacologic treatment options for obesity. https://hubs.ly/Q02CVZnS0
