There are many misconceptions when it comes to obesity and weight management. In this session, Dr. Lyon will address some of this misleading information and provide a more comprehensive explanation of some of the physiological factors underlying this chronic disease, as well as evidence-based recommendations for treatment. Points of discussion will include: physiological drives of hunger, metabolic responses to weight loss, and reward systems in the brain that impact eating behaviours. Dietary and medical treatment interventions will also be discussed.

The session will be facilitated by our internist, Dr. Alison Walzak.

Chronic stress plays a part in everyone's lives, now seemingly more than ever. But how does it actually affect your health? We'll focus on some of the evidence behind the impacts of stress, and debunk some common myths.
