Obesity is a chronic disease and is widely misunderstood, making access to effective treatment a challenge for many. We're here to change that!
Our Goal
At Impact Obesity, our goal is to reshape perceptions, break down barriers, and empower individuals living with obesity to achieve healthier lives.
Together, we can make a real impact to improve the lives of people living with obesity!
What do we mean when we talk about the term “Obesity”?
Obesity is a medical term used to describe extra body fat that affects a person’s health. Just like other health conditions, obesity is not a personal judgement or a reflection of someone’s character. For more information, read on here: What is Obesity - The Obesity Collective.
