Description: The struggle is universal. In America, body weight is a pain point shrouded in self-recrimination and shame and bias from the medical community. Diets don’t work, yet excess weight starves us of years and quality of life. Book author and former FDA Commissioner Dr. David A. Kessler examines the new class of GLP-1 weight loss drugs that unplug the brain’s addictive wiring, change the brain-food relationship, and manage the addiction to ultraformulated foods.

Objectives: • Describe the self-recrimination and bias of excess body weight. • Understand the mechanism of GLP-1 weight loss drugs upon the brain-food relationship, and food craving and addiction. • Explain how to manage the addiction to ultraformulated foods.
