42% of adults in the US qualify as obese. But there are only a few thousand doctors board-certified in obesity, most of whom work exclusively in academic medical centers.
So, what can we do to address the obesity epidemic in our country? How do we give the 200 million Americans struggling with metabolic health access to the information and support they need?
Isabelle Kenyon is Founder and CEO of Calibrate, a metabolic health company on a mission to change the way the world treats weight.
In two years, Calibrate has raised more than $125 million and published clinically-reviewed results from its One-Year Metabolic Reset that exceeded the best outcomes from clinical trials across all metabolic markers.
On this episode of The Beat, Isabelle joins host Dr. Jessica Shepherd to explain how Calibrate partners medication and lifestyle interventions to promote long-term weight loss.
Isabelle discusses the biggest contributors to sustained success with Calibrate, describing how the program helps members improve their metabolic health.
Listen in for Isabelle’s insight on treating obesity like a chronic disease (not a failure of willpower) and learn how Calibrate tailors its program to your biology, your goals and your life for sustained weight loss—guaranteed.
