About Addressing Myths and Misconceptions in Obesity hosted by Dr. Holly Lofton

It's often been said that ‘Obesity is a choice, not disease,’ ‘Low fat diets are the best way to reduce body fat’ or that ‘Weight loss of at least 10% is needed for any benefit.’ The truth is these are false. In this series, Dr. Holly Lofton unpacks the truth and provides practical advice about 14 myths and misconceptions, so that people with obesity can better manage this chronic disease with support from their healthcare team. Won’t you join Dr. Lofton? It’s time to set the record straight and replace myths and misconceptions with truth – and turn challenges into opportunities.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
