Obesity: Overview of Epidemic in North America || Special Guest Dr. Leigh Vanderloo from ParticipACTION

Despite growing recognition of the problem, the obesity epidemic increases in the United States (42% adults obese), Canada (28% adults obese) and many other parts of the world, recording high numbers. Obesity affects every segment of a person from race, social, economic level, and gender.

In today’s episode, I discuss obesity in adults with Ph.D. Dr. Leigh Vanderloo from ParticipACTION.
We cover topics such as:

• Importance of the BMI scale and how it is used to determine obesity levels
• Over-reliance on the “I want it now” mentality and how that contributes to being overweight and unhealthy
• Society’s views of obesity, body image and what is considered healthy
• Why obesity is a disease and how this can benefit people to live a healthier life
