About this segment

In this segment, Dr. Heber outlines a treatment protocol that includes: 1) determination of body mass index (BMI); 2) assessment of comorbid conditions; 3) introduction to trigger foods and a simple meal replacement plan; and 4) patient follow up and reinforcement.

He describes key supporting roles played by nurses, as well as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and registered dieticians.

He also discusses the benefits of weight loss in patients with hypertension and Type 2 diabetes, and the effectiveness of physicians as agents of change.
