  • Summary

  • Let’s kick off Unlearn to Learn! Our podcast is all about challenging what we think we know about obesity. To launch the series, our host Alexander French from World Obesity Federation is joined by Dr Arya Sharma, Professor Emeritus of Medicine & Past-Chair in Obesity Research and Management at the University of Alberta, and the Past-Clinical Co-Chair of the Alberta Health Services Obesity Program. There are countless myths about living with and managing obesity. For example, a common myth is that obesity is primarily caused by inactivity, a lack of physical exercise and/or unhealthy dietary habits. Almost all preventative and therapeutic programs for obesity focus on curbing an unhealthy diet and physical inactivity and thereby neglect other possible contributors to the disease. In this episode, Dr Sharma explores common misconceptions with Alexander, from genetics to management programmes, and even how terminology and perceptions around obesity can impact patients.
