Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death in women, and for many women the OBGYN is the only doctor they see each year, so how can obesity medicine become a natural part of that visit? On this episode of BackTable Women’s Health, Dr. Nicole Faulkner is joined by Dr. Taylor Hahn, an OBGYN board certified in obesity medicine and founder of VIA Women’s Health Collective, to discuss how general OBGYNs can integrate obesity care into everyday practice. They cover how to raise the weight conversation with and without a patient’s cue, which baseline labs to order, how to counsel patients on GLP-1 medications around pregnancy, and how to build a multidisciplinary team.
