Summary

Learn how to prescribe affordable, effective medications for obesity medicine! We discuss metformin, naltrexone, bupropion, phentermine, topiramate, GLP1 agonists, and how to counsel patients about the available weight loss modalities. Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford (@AskDrFatima) of Massachusetts General Hospital helps reframe our approach as she walks through these Obesity Medicine FAQs. Obesity treatment has been around since the 1950s but we’ve been underutilizing it for far too long!
