About Us

At Obesity.net we empower patients and caregivers to take control of obesity by providing a platform to learn, educate, and connect with peers and healthcare professionals.

Obesity can have an enormous impact on the lives of patients and their loved ones. Whether you have just started experiencing the early signs and symptoms of obesity or have been living with obesity for years, Obesity.net strives to provide you with tools and resources to help manage your disease. We hope the information provided by patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals at Obesity.net will help improve your quality of life.

NOTE: Only you and your doctor can decide which treatments are right for you. Do not stop taking or change a treatment or prescription medicine, or the way you use them, without first consulting your doctor.

At Obesity.net, we strive to provide you with the most accurate and relevant information. We use only trustworthy sources, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and peer-reviewed journals among others. We follow the principles of the Health On the Net Foundation to provide transparent and reliable health information.

Obesity.net also features articles contributed by Physicians, Patient Advocates or other Healthcare Experts. We may also have “Guest Experts” who contribute articles on specific topics featured in the Obesity.net Newsfeed. The author of each of these articles is clearly marked along with a link to the author’s profile. Obesity.net does not edit these articles, as they represent the thoughts, opinions, and judgment of their authors.

We encourage individuals impacted by obesity to share their own experiences with the community. We welcome your questions, comments and suggestions! Please e-mail us at contact@obesity.net and we will respond as soon as possible.

Please note that our team hours are Monday-Friday 8:30AM - 5:30PM EST. While we may respond during the evenings and weekends, we cannot guarantee a response outside of our standard team hours.
