Speaker: Donald Yance. This two-part lecture begins with a careful consideration of the dietary recommendations useful in promoting health and preventing obesity. Lifestyle habits and exercise are included in this section. Once this foundation is established, the topic is broadened to include a description of endocrine and neurological imbalances that lead to weight gain, and how to normalize them. Next Donnie covers the useful diagnostic tests for assessing weight control. Continued in Part 2.
