REBOOT #324: Obesity Medicine FAQ with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford

Obesity treatment has been around since the 1950s but we’ve been underutilizing it for far too long! Not only that, we’ve been thinking about obesity the wrong way for decades. Join us with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford (@AskDrFatima) of Massachusetts General Hospital as we reframe our approach to this disease and learn tips on prescribing  older,  but still very effective, medications used to treat obesity.
