Latham Attends obesityweek 2014 in Boston

November 6, 2014

This week, Boston has welcomed surgeons, dietitians, psychologists and many other leaders in the obesity field at obesityweek 2014. Hyperphagia (abnormally increased appetite) is a condition that afflicts millions of people worldwide. I spent the day yesterday meeting with dietitians from around the world getting feedback and suggestions for helping our children and adults experience a more satisfying and fulfilling diet. Today’s agenda is the psychology of eating and how we can better support those who equate food with emotional security.

It has been a privilege to learn from these professionals who dedicate their lives to helping those who live with hyperphagia.
