A huge thank you to everyone who joined #OUcongress and #DUcongress24, both in person and online! Your participation made it a huge success. We can't wait to see you again next year for DUO25! #obesity #diabetes #CME #MedEd

Finishing up at #OUCongress with Dr. Jeffrey Habert giving us a realistic overview of the 9 minutes most physicians get for an appointment. How do we support the patient and do the best by them in such a short time.

Really thrilled to see the lived experience represented at the #OUCongress today. Sandra Elia is a rock star for sharing her experiences and addressing the role weight stigma plays in the healthcare experience.

Listening to Dr. Shahebina Walji talk about the experiences of supporting women with age-specific options for weight management is so helpful. Important to know how age and biological sex factor in. #OUCongress

Super interesting to learn how men look at weight vs women. An added layer is cultural differences. So much to consider when supporting health interventions in an intersectional way. #OUCongress Akshay Jain MD, FRCPC, FACE

The always informative Akshay Jain MD, FRCPC, FACE is sharing his insights on the Management of Obesity in Canadian Males of Immigrant Backgrounds. There are not one size fits all solutions. #OUCongress

Our final talk of this session is from Dr. Stephen Glazer. Lots to know and understand about considerations pre and post bariatric surgery. #OUCongress

And we’re back with Megha Poddar to give us an overview on pharmacotherapy in #obesity. #OUCongress

Looking forward to learning from Alissa Steinberg RD CDE MHSc at #OUCongress today. Always interesting to hear about nutrition options.

Next up? Tackling Cardiometabolic Risks in Obesity, featuring Dr. Sandy Van, MD. #OUCongress

Next up, Megha Poddar discusses #obesity and comorbidities. Did you know people in bigger bodies are less likely to get cancer screening? That’s an issue. #OUCongress

One major theme so far at #OUCongress? It’s not about eat less and exercise more. We need to embrace a range of therapies and personalize them to the human being in front of us.

Dr. Priya Manjoo is talking about the pathophysiology of #obesity. Obesity is not a personal failing, it involved the components of energy regulation and how this is influenced by environmental, genetic and biologic factors. #OUCongress

Compassion is critical in #obesity care. But it’s also hard. sean wharton is discussing changing models around how healthcare is provided to make it more effective. #OUCongress

Medications are a big part of how we’re changing the way we manage #obesity in the clinic. This is a game changer for many people - and provides more options. sean wharton #OUCongress

The first plenary today is sean wharton - one of the most empathetic physicians and researchers working in obesity medicine today. He will be discussing. The Future of Obesity Management in Canada and Globally – The Digital Age. #OUCongress

A relief to see this slide at #OUCongress. As a fat advocate in a small fat body, we need to talk about this more. And this slide sets the tone that I’m not going to face shame by existing here today. 💪

📢 #OUcongress kicks off today! Join us for a day of practical pearls & discussions on #obesity with our esteemed speakers & Krista Lamb moderating our social channels! #CME #MedEd
