I was compensated by Med-IQ through an educational grant from Novo Nordisk, Inc. to write about the realities of obesity as a chronic disease. All opinions are my own. If you’re like me and have found yourself working to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, you’ve probably also wondered do weight loss clinics work.

Now that we are living in the time of Coronavirus, a situation that is forcing quarantines and social distancing, all of us have had to get better about food storage and stockpiling.
