I hear patients say stuff like, "yeah well, in my family it's normal. we're all a bit larger. it's genetic." - maybe genes play a minor role but mostly it's the habits and environment, and things like portion sizes, snacking habits, types of foods in the house, (lack of) exercise habits, etc.
smh.
I shit you not, I had someone who studied obesity medicine try to tell me obesity is linked in with metabolism issues and nothing else. I responded with the simple "what happened to thyroid issues being the main problem?"
