ConscienHealth works with experts and organizations to advance sound approaches to health and obesity, the biggest threat to the health of America in this century. We advocate for evidence-based prevention and treatment. We help organizations develop strategies to advance new options from research to adoption in clinical practice and health policy. We develop strategies that are based on sound sci

ence, public policy, and a deep understanding of consumer needs. We help experts and advocates to educate the public and provide a voice for people affected by obesity.

New research suggests the economics of GLP-1s may not conform to a popular, bleak, and possibly false narrative that depicts obesity medicines as a money pit. To the contrary, with persistent use, they may save money.

What if the story of food and health is about more than food? What do we lose when opportunities to enjoy meals together are rare?

A new essay in the The New York Times tells us every grocery and restaurant is a battlefield in a war we're losing. Unwittingly, when we buy any of a wide array of foods that comprise most of what everyone eats, we are unknowingly surrendering to a ruthless enemy.

How well will it work if we divide obesity care into a system of haves and have nots? The administration has opened a path for more access to obesity care in Medicaid, but state politicians seem disinterested.

It's funny, really, to think how people who are cynical about regulated pharmaceuticals are blithely injecting themselves with stuff that dubious characters on the internet claim is retatrutide. Gullibility meets cynicism indeed.

Medical care should be about helping patients meet their own goals for health. Not making them audition for our moral approval.

"You oughta wanna" is not helpful advice.

Weight stigma is a problem all over the world, but new research tells us that the cultural context in different countries can play an important role.

What if some of the biology that makes a person vulnerable to obesity is already visible at birth?

A remarkable new study in mSystems offers evidence that this is more than a hypothetical question.

Don't let the news of the OASIS-5 study of lower-dose Wegovy tablets by Novo Nordisk escape your attention. It marks a shift in focus toward long-term obesity care. Eli Lilly and Company knows this, too.

Sooner or later, we have faith that smart food policy thinkers will wake up and realize that we must learn to walk and chew gum and try to understand that obesity is about more than just food. Case in point: The myth of food deserts.
