Are the anti-obesity medicines (AOMs) the solution to the world’s obesity epidemic? No!
Can these medicines help a lot of people avoid many obesity-related health problems? Yes!
There are so many different medications out there to help prevent obesity that it seems like jungle, complete with tigers and crocodiles (side effects from drugs). Dr. Kelly will help you understand the different classes of AOMs and what they are designed to do in the physiology of obesity and appetite control. Also, learn how physical training should be coordinated with the short- and long-term effects of AOMs.
