Description
Obesity is not just a personal challenge — it’s a global crisis. With the NHS spending an estimated, eye-watering, £6.1 billion annually on obesity-related health problems, and more money allocated to treating obesity and diabetes than to the police, fire services, and judiciary combined, the need for a solution-focused approach has never been more pressing.
In this CPD, we will unravel the complex biological, psychological, and neurological components of weight management, especially focusing on the science behind obesity. This knowledge equips you to better understand your clients’ struggles and empowers you to guide them towards sustainable weight management.
What you will learn
Through engaging discussions and cutting-edge insights, we’ll cover the following key areas:
The Neuroscience of Obesity: Discover the brain mechanisms that influence eating behaviors and weight regulation.
Biological Factors: Explore the role of adipose tissue and its impact on metabolic processes.
Evolutionary Perspectives on Eating Behavior: Are our eating habits hardwired by primitive instincts?
The Stress-Eating Cycle: How stress triggers unhealthy eating patterns, and how to break the cycle.
