About the Webinar

About the Case Discussion Topic:
Rethinking Obesity: A Hormonal Brain Disorder?" explores the idea that obesity is not merely a result of lifestyle choices but a complex condition influenced by hormonal and neurological factors. This perspective highlights the role of hormones like insulin, leptin, and ghrelin in regulating hunger, metabolism, and fat storage. Case discussions may focus on patients who struggle with weight despite diet and exercise, prompting an evaluation of underlying hormonal imbalances or brain signaling issues. Understanding obesity as a hormonal brain disorder can reduce stigma and support more personalized, science-based treatment strategies. It encourages a shift from blame to a more compassionate and holistic approach to care.
