Doug Maready, MD
Physician, Educator, and Advocate for Evidence-Based Obesity Care
My Mission
Make obesity understandable through clear, evidence-based education
Fight for policies that expand insurance coverage for obesity treatment and prevent obesity at a societal level
Connect with healthcare providers, patients, media, organizations, and policymakers to work together on obesity issues
My Vision
I envision a world where obesity is treated as the chronic disease it is; where healthcare systems, food environments, and public policies prevent obesity rather than contribute to it; and where individuals and communities are empowered with the knowledge, tools, and access needed to prevent disease and pursue long-term metabolic health with honesty and courage.
My Positions
Evidence-Based Obesity Care
Treating obesity as a chronic disease using lifestyle counseling, FDA-approved medications, and bariatric surgery when appropriate
Avoiding fad treatments and trends not supported by scientific evidence, including compounded peptides and unsupported supplements
Discouraging restrictive diets that unnecessarily eliminate healthy, enjoyable foods
My Positions
Clear, Honest Education That Counters Misinformation
Explaining the causes of the obesity epidemic and how obesity is treatable
Providing practical tools to understand complex medical concepts
Sharing real-world stories that show how obesity treatment changes lives
Actively dispelling misinformation through clear, accessible communication
My Positions
Healthier Systems Through Policy and Collaboration
Supporting public policies that promote healthy eating and sustainable living habits
Highlighting the health harms of ultra-processed foods and misleading marketing practices
Collaborating with healthcare providers, media, policymakers, and learners to drive change
