Inflammation & Obesity: 
A Troublesome Relationship


"Obesity goes way beyond its outward appearance. 

Most affected people develop a cluster of metabolic, hormonal, 

and cellular disruptions - so much so that having obesity 

increases the risk of dozens of other chronic diseases, 

and ultimately premature death." - Dr. Scott Kahan


Scott Kahan, MD, MPH

The Total Recovery Lecture Series on chronic pain continues on Thursday, March 6 with guest speaker Dr. Scott Kahan, an internationally recognized expert on nutrition and obesity. 

 

Overweight and obesity affects over one third of 

U.S. adults and continues to grow as a world 

wide epidemic. Inflammation, which can 

have devastating effects on the body when chronic, can be related to the development of obesity and is also a common consequence of obesity.  Dr. Scott Kahan will offer insights into these scenarios and offer strategies to address and control obesity and weight difficulties.
