44. Your Best Weight with Obesity Physician, Dr. Sasha High
Description
Are you struggling to maintain a healthy weight as you get older? You're not alone. Despite the abundance of information on healthy living, obesity rates in Canada have doubled since the 1970s, leading to an increase in obesity-related chronic diseases. And if you add menopause to the mix, the challenge becomes even more complex. According to the National Institute of Health, women gain an average of a pound per year during the menopause transition, with 20% gaining 10 pounds or more during this period. To make matters worse, almost 40% of women in menopause are either overweight or obese, potentially leading to negative health outcomes. But how do we do this without falling prey to dangerous diet culture? It's time to take control of our weight and learn how to age powerfully. Join me as I speak with top Canadian obesity physician, Dr. Sasha High (@sashahighmd), as she explains what science says about being overweight, having obesity and how to achieve our best, healthiest weight for life. Don't miss this enlightening conversation!
