In the United States, it is estimated that 93 million Americans are affected by the disease of obesity. There are many causes that directly and indirectly contribute to obesity, such as behavior, environment and genetics.
The OAC’s National Convention was established to bring the needed education about weight and health to individuals in an easy to understand, and applicable manner. This year’s Convention will present more than 50 diverse educational topics that cover all spectrums of issues relating to weight and health. Whether you are someone who has not started your journey toward improved health or someone who is already on your journey, you will have the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of topics, such as:
“Changing My Weight Destiny: Can I Chose a Diet that Matches My Biology?”
“Understanding Your Body’s Response to Exercise and Hunger: Creating a Personal Prescription”
“Sweet Dreams: The Relationship between Sleep Health and Your Weight”
“I Lost Weight, Now How Do I Keep it off?”
And Much more!
