In this course, we will focus on the critical role of Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) and Physical Activity in the management of obesity. This course covers evidence-based strategies to optimize both nutrition and physical activity in order to support weight management, improve metabolic health, and enhance overall well-being.

Understanding how MNT and physical activity can support obesity management is crucial in treating this chronic disease. Throughout the course, we will examine case studies and explore the latest research to help you develop personalized treatment plans. By the end of the course, you will be able to apply these strategies in clinical and public health settings to support the long-term health of individuals living with obesity.
