About this course

Nature wants us to be fat. That's the surprising truth, and Dr. Richard Johnson joins us to share the mounting evidence on the biological switch that makes us prone to weight gain. Throughout his many years of studying obesity and related health conditions, he observed that relatively little is said about two significant pieces of this very complex puzzle: lack of hydration and excessive salt intake. Both are now known to contribute to obesity.

Dr. Johnson is an internationally acclaimed scientist and physician researching obesity and metabolic health. If your patient's are dehydrated or if they have a high vasopressin level it increases their risk of obesity. And not only is it associated with being overweight, but it also predicts whether or not you can/will gain weight.

He will share with us what you can do to help your patient's turn off the survival switch that contributes to weight gain, heart disease, high blood pressure, and more. One of these simple tricks is to drink a glass of water before each meal. He states that will help keep the serum salt diluted which is better than eating the salt undiluted, activating the switch, and then trying to reverse it.
