Metabolic health extends beyond body weight. When the body’s ability to regulate energy, fat, and glucose is disrupted, the consequences can extend across multiple organ systems including the liver, heart, kidneys, and muscles. Hosted by Longwoods and Boehringer Ingelheim Canada, this panel will bring together clinical, lived-experience, community, and health literacy perspectives to examine a more integrated understanding of metabolic health and improve outcomes.
Panelists will explore why body size and BMI alone provide an incomplete picture of health, how weight bias can affect care, and how earlier identification and more integrated approaches can support prevention, functional health and long-term outcomes.
