Beskrivning
GLP-1 medications have transformed the treatment of obesity, offering unprecedented improvements in weight loss and overall health. Yet despite their remarkable effectiveness, most patients abandon treatment within months, regaining weight and losing many of the health benefits they worked so hard to achieve. Monetizing Obesity Medicine explores the critical question that healthcare leaders, physicians, investors, and entrepreneurs have largely overlooked: if the science works, why is the system failing? Drawing on frontline clinical experience and years spent designing large-scale obesity programs, White reveals the hidden structural barriers preventing millions of people from achieving lasting success with treatment.Part healthcare manifesto, part business strategy, and part practical blueprint, this book challenges conventional thinking about obesity care and the role of markets in medicine. Through compelling patient stories, sharp analysis of the obesity treatment landscape, and lessons drawn from some of the world’s most successful consumer businesses, readers are introduced to a new model for delivering sustainable, scalable obesity care. Whether you are a healthcare professional, policymaker, entrepreneur, investor, or patient advocate, this unique guide offers a provocative and actionable vision for solving one of the most important public health challenges of our time.

Mer information

Dr. Ashley White is a Canadian physician with dual certifications: family and emergency medicine through the College of Family Physicians of Canada and a U.S. board certification in obesity medicine through the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She holds an MD from McMaster University, a Master of Public Health in global health from Simon Fraser University, and an Honours Bachelor of Arts and Science with a Minor in economics from McMaster. Her career began outside clinical medicine, first as a senior policy analyst at the Public Health Agency of Canada, then in health program implementation with the Aga Khan Foundation in Afghanistan, and later in inner-city health research. She has practiced family and emergency medicine in rural and urban Ontario since 2017. Since 2021, her clinical focus has been on obesity and metabolic health, which includes the patient population whose patterns inform every scene in this book.For the last several years, she has also worked inside the digital health companies that this book examines—as Medical Lead in Canada for HeliosX and, before that, Director of Women’s Health and Obesity at PocketPills. In November 2023, she founded The Shift Clinic, a Canadian primary care practice for people with obesity and complex metabolic disease. Her practice is a living laboratory for innovation in ethical obesity care. The Shift is also where the Canopy was developed before becoming the framework that organizes this book. She lives in Hamilton, Ontario, with her family.
