Dr Sandy Van. Dr Van is a medical specialist in obesity medicine. She is a staff physician at MEDCAM and runs a virtual Weight Management Program in downtown Toronto.  She is not your standard bariatric physician; she has a unique focus on treating not only the physical and pharmaceutical aspects of obesity but also the psychological and behavioral dimensions. We interviewed Sandy two years ago, exploring how she used her understanding of food addiction and eating disorders with her weight loss patients. Today, we want to focus on the medications, particularly the GLP1s, that are so popular. How has the widespread use of these meds changed her practice, if at all?   Dr. Sandy Van is a licensed medical doctor in Family Medicine and diplomat of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She is the founder and medical director of Haven Weight Management, a virtual medical clinic focused on obesity care. Additionally, she co-founded 3 Sails, a social learning program for mental resiliency in weight management, and is a staff physician at MEDCAN, an Executive Health Clinic. She dedicates her practice to helping individuals achieve sustainable weight loss through psychotherapy tools and medical management.  Dr. Van offers a unique voice for the medical community regarding behavioral obesity treatment. Her professional initiatives have included speaking engagements regarding applying psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for weight loss and providing consultation to healthcare practitioners. She is also a frequently invited media guest on national television and radio. Her mission is to evolve the field of behavioral weight management and effect lasting change in the many individuals who struggle with weight. Dr. Van received her Doctorate of Medicine, followed by the completion of a residency in Family Medicine at the University of Toronto.   The content of our show is educational only.

Dr. Dinesh Edem discusses the Medical Weight Management program at UAMS, the differences between weight management and weight loss, what can make weight management difficult for patients, and more.

"Amazing pediatricians are back where I was years ago, with their C-suite asking for business plans for the medical side of their adolescent bariatric surgery programs. The reality is corporate health care has infiltrated pediatric health systems, and the C-suite looks at the medical component as a necessary evil to drive adolescent bariatric surgeries. In fact, they are OK with medical treatment failing because it means more adolescent bariatric surgeries. The medical arm is what helps document six months of failed treatment which is a requirement for consideration for bariatric surgery." Karla Lester is a pediatrician.

Dr. Lehnhard discusses weight loss and medical conditions in the realms of ChristianaCare's Weight Management Program.

Today I had the honor of speaking to Dr. Kathy M. Campbell, PharmD. She is an independent pharmacist from Owasso, OK, who’s been practicing for almost 28 years, and has owned her own pharmacy for the last 19. Four years ago she began a pharmacy based weight loss program, DrKathyweightloss (http://drkathyweightloss.com/). This has been a culmination of both intensive ‘study’ and a deeply personal subject for Kathy for 40 years. Dr. Campbell has presented a TEDx talk about obesity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUzn8L_2CNA) and starving the cell. Last year she created a pharmacy based cooking demo curriculum, FARxMACY. She has now partnered with NCPA to create and deliver an 8hr CE, “Creating Health-Pharmacist-led Lifestyle and Weight Management Program.” Look out for this in 2020! Besides being a dedicated health care provider to her patients, Dr. Kathy Campbell is also a wife and mom of 2 teen girls. Her goal is to be her patients’ partner in health, not just disease. Please tune in to an amazingly informative episode as we talk about the current healthcare model and brainstorm some meaningful changes we can all implement for a brighter tomorrow.

According to the latest polling data available, 45% of American’s resolved to lose more weight and get in shape in the New Year.  For those of you in that 45% or considering weight loss we want to share information with you today about the Mercy Weight Management Open House on Monday, January 13 from 3:30 PM to 6:00PM.  This morning on the program we will learn more about the open house and the program Mercy offers.

Karen Goodlett MD is an internal medicine doctor, Assistant Physician Program Director of Quality Resource Management and Co-lead of 21-Day Plant Power Challenge sponsored by Kaiser's Wellness Committee. In this interview she tells a story of how one person, and then a small group of people, made a big difference setting a trend and bringing plant-based nutrition into the mainstream of the culture in Kaiser. This is how it unfolded: In June 2013 Dr. Michael Greger (who was on our show last week!) was invited to speak to physicians at Kaiser Permanente regarding “Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death” (https://nutritionfacts.org). In August 2013 Kaiser organized their 1st 21-Day Plant Power Challenge! Dr. Goodlett was a participant in the challenge and converts to following a Low Fat Whole Food Plant-based Nutrition Lifestyle by the end of the Challenge. September 2014 Kaiser had their 2nd 21-Day Plant Power Challenge (PPC). This time Dr. Goodlett was a Co-Leader of the Challenge. In January 2015 Dr. Goodlett, along with other PPC leaders, created a webinar which was presented to Kaiser's National Healthy Lifestyle Group on how to sponsor a 21-Day Plant Power Challenge, which led to other Kaiser Regions around the nation sponsoring 21-Day Plant Power Challenges patterned after their model. In 2015 and 2016 Kaiser was a major sponsor of the Food as Medicine Conference held at the Emory Conference Center (now re-branded as the Remedy Food Project https://www.remedyfood.org) . In September 2016 one of Kaiser's Nurses and Dr. Goodlett sponsored a smaller departmental 21-Day Challenge at the Kaiser Headquarters which led to the development of their weekly Plant Power Lunch Support Group at the Kaiser Headquarters. In November 2016 The Kaiser PPC Leaders assisted The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine in sponsoring the event - Kickstart Your Health Atlanta ( https://www.pcrm.org/news/news-releases/atlanta-physicians-prescribe-food-medicine-nov-1-health-challenge). In January 2018 a Kaiser Nutritionist created a Whole Food Plant-based Nutrition Class for Kaiser's Healthy Living Class offerings to our patients and the public. In September 2018 Kaiser had their 3rd Plant Power Challenge for which Dr. Goodlett was a Co-Lead yet again. In May 2019 Kaiser's Weight Management Program began offering a Plant-based Nutrition Class.

She also directs the Weight Management Program though PCOM’s Center for Behavioral Therapy. Our discussion touched on the difficulty of treating obesity; the role of both behavioral health practitioners and physicians in its treatment; and addressed the weight stigma that can persist in society—and among healthcare providers.
