@worldobesity.bsky.socialObesity is a chronic, relapsing disease - not a lifestyle choice or a question of willpower. Recognising this is the first step toward better policy and better care.

@eagleeyephx.comIs calorie counting enough? Many experts now view obesity as a complex chronic disease shaped by biology, hormones, genetics, and environment—not just calories. As GLP-1 therapies reshape care, clinicians are rethinking the role of calorie counting. #Obesity
@lancetrh-europe.bsky.social#Incretin-based therapies have transformed #obesity treatment, but health systems have not kept pace
New @easoobesity.bsky.social position statement defines this paradox and proposes a model for integrating incretin-based therapies into comprehensive #ObesityCare
@worldobesity.bsky.socialRecognising obesity as a disease, not a personal failing, is what enables proper treatment, prevention and support.

@ajstein.bsky.socialHealthy #plantbased diets are linked to lower risks of obesity-related #cancer & #mortality. The findings require confirmation but the associations are biologically plausible and the cohort was large enough for sufficient statistical power: doi.org/10.3389/fnut... #Diets #Nutrition #Health #Obesity
@worldobesity.bsky.socialWeight bias and discrimination don't just harm wellbeing – they can increase obesity risk itself: raised stress hormones promote weight gain, and fear of shame or blame can push people to avoid health-promoting spaces altogether.

@worldobesity.bsky.social😴Poor sleep disrupts the hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism. It's one of the most overlooked drivers of obesity.

@jlevinscherz.bsky.social@worldobesity.bsky.social🧬 Genes account for an estimated 40–70% of a person's likelihood of developing obesity.
Biology plays a far bigger role than most people realise.
@worldobesity.bsky.socialThere's more to obesity than meets the eye. It's often assumed to come down to personal choice, but that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Obesity is complex. Our response must be too.
@ecpobesity.bsky.socialWhat causes obesity? The science tells a different story from the stereotypes.
🧬 Genetics matter.
👶 Risk can begin early in life.
🥗 Our bodies respond differently to food and our environment.
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing disease shaped by complex factors, not a personal choice.
