  • Summary

  • The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the health of patients living with obesity. Two national lockdowns in 18 months saw obesity rates increase. Was it due to the impact on people’s mental health? In this episode, Alexander is joined by Professor Donna Ryan, Professor Emeritus at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to answer this question and more. Professor Ryan explores the challenges of ‘long COVID’ in relation to obesity, explains why vaccines are crucial in providing protection, and provides counsel to some common misconceptions around COVID and obesity. In our 5th episode of Unlearn to Learn, and as we start to emerge from 2 years of the pandemic, it’s time to unlearn everything you thought you know about COVID-19 and its impact on patients living with obesity.
