Weight is about more than calories and willpower.

Our understanding of obesity has changed significantly in recent years. Weight can be influenced by biology, metabolism, genetics, lifestyle, environment and other factors, which is why the same approach does not work for everyone.

In this educational video, Dr. Gill discusses the science of weight and explains the updated POWER 2.0 approach from the American Gastroenterological Association. The framework brings together lifestyle changes, medical treatment, newer weight-loss medications, and other treatment options as part of personalized obesity care.

Understanding the science behind weight is an important step towards treating obesity as a health condition rather than simply a matter of willpower.

It refers to a combination of health factors, such as excess abdominal fat, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. Together, these can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Gill sat down with the team to discuss how your risk may be influenced by factors like your diet, activity levels, genetics, and sleep.

Statins are widely used to control cholesterol, but many people with liver disease worry that these medicines could harm their liver.

Dr. Gill explains where this concern came from, what we know about statins today, and how they may be used in people with conditions such as fatty liver.

If your loved one has been prescribed a statin or have concerns about taking one, don't stop your medication on your own. Speak with your doctor about what's appropriate for you.
