It's AND BOTH, not OR, with Dr. Nina Crowley

Join this conversation between "Gaining Health" host, Karli Burridge, PA, and "In the Know with Nina" host, Nina Crowley, Ph.D., as they discuss the importance of comprehensive obesity care.  How should clinicians and patients focus on treatment options as "AND" statements to avoid the black-and-white "OR" statements?  How can we fill the gaps between lifestyle changes and bariatric surgery options?  Their combined experience and knowledge in medical obesity treatment can help transform your either-or mentality!
