@NeilFlochMD @Oprah @AniaJastreboff @BevTchangMD YES, it’s been amazing to be a part of these conversations! For someone like @Oprah to use her platform to have these conversations, share the science and have experts, as well as real lived experiences shared, is what is helping to change the way ppl understand #obesity

A wonderful dietitian panel discussion @ASMBSCT1 #asmbsct25 @ASMBS ! And here’s a very common question we get after weight loss, regardless of the way you lost the weight. It’s recommended to follow up with your Dr, look at your protein intake and get some labs
