Description
My name is Dr. Meredith Goodwin. I am a Board-Certified Family Physician who has been in practice for over 30 years. Like nearly everyone else in my medical school class, when I first became a physician, my goal was to help people. At that time, obesity and diabetes were relatively rare, and we had only a few drugs to help.

Donâ€™t take this wrong, but I HATE obesity. I grew up in the 1960s when nearly everyone, including my parents, was trim. As I hit my teen years, I started gaining some weight. The weight gradually increased through high school, college, and medical school. But Iâ€™m a doctor, right? There must be a drug that would help. Well, nothing really worked long-term. Medicine treated weight loss as a reflection of a personâ€™s inability to have self-control. Remember that? It took a long time for obesity to be regarded as a disease process.Â Eat less, exercise more, right? Not only did that not work for me in the long term, but it also did not work for my patients.
My goal for this course is to help learners understand how we got where we are today - overweight, obese, and diabetic.Â We will then look at the current theories of obesity and figure out what actually causes it.Â What works for weight loss, what doesn't, and why.Â Then we'll apply what we have learned to get us turned around and on the right path to regaining control of our health.Â Ready to join me?

Hi, I’m Meredith Goodwin MD, a seasoned Board Certified Family Physician with over three decades of dedicated practice. Family Physicians are the healthcare professionals who provide comprehensive care, guiding individuals through every stage of life, from birth to the twilight years. Our focus extends beyond treating ailments to the proactive prevention of health issues.My journey in medicine began with the earnest aspiration shared by most of my medical school peers: to make a positive impact on people's lives. I completed my medical education at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, then went on to residency training at UCLA in their Family Medicine Residency Program.Throughout my medical career, I've had the privilege of serving as full-time faculty at three different medical schools and supervising family medicine residents at two others. My commitment to ongoing education has been unwavering. One principle that I always stressed to both students and residents was from one of my own medical school professors. He wisely emphasized that much of the knowledge imparted during our medical school years could become obsolete within just five years. It's a challenge for many physicians to break free from the knowledge they internalized during their formative years as medical professionals, even as the field of medical information expands exponentially.
