Description: Treating obesity with bariatric surgery should be thought of as a starting point, not an end point. A key to success after bariatric surgery is the long-term postoperative management. This webinar will review the common types of bariatric surgery and highlight import considerations when managing the macronutrient and micronutient needs of patients after surgery. In addition, this session will explore the role of anti-obesity medications to prevent or address weight regain after surgery.

• Identify common bariatric surgical options for eligible patients
• Describe important aspects of postoperative nutrition management 
• Utilize appropriate AOMs for post operative bariatric surgical patients

Description: 

Stress and psychological resilience have lost balance due to many daily internal and external factors. Evidence suggests that mental health can impact disordered eating, physical activity, and weight status. Developmental trajectories for obesity from childhood to adulthood continue to rise rapidly. Therefore it is crucial to develop tools to regain control of the mind. It is imperative to recognize that there is a fine line between a stress reaction and mood disorders. When stress becomes difficult to manage on an acute level, it can progress to a chronic state, leading to medical conditions. In this webinar, we will learn how to detangle the Mind- Map and build resilience through various mind-body principles as well as self-care interventions to help manage stress and enhance the quality of life.

Objectives:

1. Identify the connection between stress and physical or emotional problems

2. Utilize the power of positive thinking and use mindfulness to fulfill life's purpose.

3. Recognize the importance of healthy eating, restorative sleep, and physical activity.

4. Apply various techniques to elicit the relaxation response, the body's natural stress buffer.

Description:

Fundamentals of Obesity Treatment - Virtual is a 1.5-day interactive virtual course offering introductory education about the evidence-based approaches for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating obesity in a clinical setting. The content is appropriate for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, clinicians-in-training, and other healthcare providers who treat patients with the disease of obesity. On the first day, attend virtual lectures to learn about the basic concepts that define obesity as a disease, the pathophysiology of obesity, and how to evaluate patients for obesity and related diseases using ethical, non-stigmatizing communication. Then review strategies for treating obesity using four treatment pillars: nutrition, physical activity, behavior, and pharmacotherapy. On the second day, work in virtual breakout groups on patient cases to develop comprehensive treatment plans using interventions in all four treatment pillars. Gain tools to begin developing effective treatment plans for patients affected by obesity in your practice.

The Fundamentals of Obesity Treatment - Virtual course is intended to help clinicians build their foundational knowledge to determine whether they want to pursue more advanced education in obesity medicine. For those who do not want to pursue further education, this course will provide them with the tools to confidently refer their patients with obesity to a specially trained medical professional.

Topics include:

• Introduction to Fundamentals
• Understanding the Chronic Disease of Obesity
• Physical Activity Basics
• Nutrition Therapy
• Behavioral Modification
• Elements of Pharmacotherapy
• Surgical Options
• Case Presentations

Description: 

Sarcopenic obesity presents numerous risks to health and quality of life. Those with low lean muscle mass and function and increased adiposity are at risk for significant adverse health consequences, disability, frailty, and increased mortality. While it is more prevalent in older adults, adults of all ages are affected, with an overall prevalence of 15.9% of the U.S. population. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to preserving and improving the health of those affected. In this webinar, you will learn how to identify and manage patients with sarcopenic obesity, as well as those at risk. 

 Objectives:

1. Describe the pathophysiology and adverse health consequences of sarcopenic obesity

2. Identify individuals who have or are at risk for sarcopenic obesity

3. Utilize treatment strategies that increase lean muscle mass and function, reduce health risks, and improve health and quality of life
