Description:

This webinar provides a brief overview of how we can incorporate technology into nutrition and medical weight loss. The purpose of this presentation is to develop an accepted blueprint of how nutrition and pharmacotherapy can sync with advanced tools like continuous glucose monitor (CGM) based on individual needs for effective weight management.

Description: 

Patients and Primary Care Clinicians face numerous difficulties in providing effective, affordable weight loss and maintenance  programs.  The clinician needs to be knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, and motivated, while meeting each patient's unique expectations with an affordable program in an appropriate  setting! The objective of this webinar is to illustrate such a weight loss program using OMA resources. I will describe how information from Obesity Algorithms, OMA office tools and lectures from OMA conferences  can be used to activate our patients. This will be a distillation of the information of the 4 pillars of weight management in a user friendly format for the patient. To summarize and elaborate, I will share data of a weight loss program which I implemented in an employer sponsored clinic.

Description: 

This webinar will describe the relationship between obesity and prostate cancer incidence as well as progression. It will also explain the role of hormone treatment in increasing obesity and cardio-metabolic risk along with reducing quality of life in prostate cancer patients. Lastly, Dr. Algotar will present three case studies demonstrating practical application of obesity treatment in prostate cancer patients.

Description:

The presentation is designed to educate the attendees on the main components of Financial Planning. We will highlight the things that every financial plan should focus on and discuss details surrounding what to consider within each category. The presentation will also serve as a "fact-check" for those who have already established a financial plan and would like to confirm their plan is more than adequate. Lastly, we will touch on market details to provide an update so that they have a good understanding of the current market environment.

Description: 

Obesity prevalence is at worldwide epidemic levels, and behind cigarette smoking, obesity is the second leading cause of preventable deaths. Interventions directed toward improving nutrition, increasing physical activity, and changing eating behaviors can be effective treatments for obesity, but long -term benefits are often countered by neuro-hormonally activated homeostatic mechanisms that eventually lead to weight regain. Anti-obesity pharmacologic agents are often effective in combating the internal drives that increase appetite and contribute to obesity as well as those associated with weight regain. Despite the prevalence and deadly consequences of obesity, there are currently only four FDA approved anti-obesity medications for long -term use and four older sympathomimetic agents approved only three month’s treatment duration. Pharmacologic options for obesity treatment are further limited by other factors that include medication expense and lack of insurance coverage, concurrent medical conditions, drug interactions, adverse drug effects, and individual lack of therapeutic response in some individuals.  

Fortunately, there are options that are not FDA approved (off-label) that are generally safe and efficacious for obesity treatment backed by clinical experience and medical literature. This educational series will focus on safe and efficacious obesity treatment in challenging patients when FDA approved therapeutic agents are not an option. 

With disease management, the weight-gain potential of medications is often not considered when choosing pharmacotherapy options. Many commonly used medications associated with weight gain have alternatives with weight neutral or weight losing effects.  Shifting medication choices from weight positive to weight neutral or negative choices can be an effective means of facilitating weight loss.

Description: 

With limited options and cost limitations for prescribing anti-obesity medications, experienced obesity medicine specialists recognize the importance of off-label use of medication for obesity treatment. This session will briefly review medications that are known to aid in weight loss but lack FDA approval for use in obesity treatment. The session will also include discussion of long-term use of medications that are only approved by the FDA for short-term use. The program will include an interactive discussion of a number of patient scenarios where alternative medications can be considered for obesity treatment.

Description: 

Primary care clinicians encounter patients with obesity on a daily basis. Given the complexity of obesity, and the complications that need to be managed, many are unsure about where to begin. Using real-world case studies this presentation will provide a practical, step-by-step approach for the evaluation and management of patients with obesity in a variety of primary care settings. Strategies for developing treatment plans will be step-wise, individualized, and patient-centered based on time, setting, clinician skill level, as well as clinic resources. Participants will be able to identify appropriate patients, assess readiness, initiate a conversation, and implement a treatment plan. Time-efficient evaluation tools will be provided and the components of comprehensive treatment will be incorporated into the cases.

Description: 

Attendees will participate in a series of case presentations on managing individuals with obesity and spinal cord injury (SCI).  Cases will explore specific comorbid conditions related to SCI and their impact on ability to engage in physical activity.  Participants will learn to develop specific activity regimens tailored to address mobility limitations of different levels of SCI, and customize treatment plans.  Attendees will learn to adopt strategies designed to benefit both functional mobility and weight management.

Description: 

This session will review weight bias, its definition and sources in the lives of pediatric patients with obesity as well as their parents. The media’s view and assumptions of obesity drives weight bias in our society and forms the basis for a great deal of stigma our patients face. In pediatric obesity medicine, weight bias is particularly important to recognize as it affects not only the patients themselves but also their families. Participants will review potential causes for their own weight bias, and discuss the harms of weight bias for pediatric patients We will discuss solutions to combating weight bias and how to help families overcome this barrier to accessing healthcare.
