Get Paid $75 to Shape the Future of Obesity Care! Endocrine Society

The way obesity care is defined and delivered is actually changing — and The Endocrine Society wants to hear from real patients like YOU. 💬 In today’s episode, Christopher and Laraine Durham sit down with two leading endocrinologists, Dr. Dimpi Desai (Stanford) and Dr. Marie McDonnell (Brigham and Women’s), to talk about how global obesity guidelines are being updated for the modern era of GLP-1s and patient-centered care.

🔥 Your experience with weight management — whether with GLP-1s, surgery, diet, or lifestyle — can help shape the future of treatment. And yes — there’s a $75 honorarium for participation.

We cover:
• How The Endocrine Society develops global clinical guidelines
• Why 2016 obesity standards no longer reflect today’s science
• What patients want doctors to actually understand about real-world care
• How YOU can participate in the guideline listening sessions
• Why safe, licensed medical guidance matters
