In “Globesity: Your Guide to Health and Wellness,” I explore a crucial global health crisis: obesity. This sets the stage for a deep, multifaceted analysis of obesity, not just as a personal health issue but as a complex phenomenon interwoven with societal, economic, and environmental factors. As a healthcare professional with decades of practical experience in health sciences, health management, and leadership, I attempt to put the pieces of the puzzle together so that the readers of this book can make personal decisions about their health journey.

Over the past twenty years, I have observed a significant increase in metabolic diseases for the worse. This book builds on my professional knowledge, personal experiences, and social observations. In addition, as a certified health and wellness coach, I seek to incorporate psychological factors that parallel metabolic disorders.

This book investigates the sensitive and often stigmatized topic of obesity, addressing its taboo nature in contemporary society. The book highlights the importance of fostering open, empathetic, and informed discussions about obesity, moving away from individual blame to a broader understanding of the many factors contributing to its prevalence. These include genetics, metabolic disorders, psychological conditions, socioeconomic status, and environmental factors like the availability of healthy food options, poor diet habits, and opportunities for physical activity.

This comprehensive guide covers various topics, from the basics of metabolic processes and the impact of diet on metabolic health to the wide-ranging risks and complications associated with obesity. In addition, this book critically examines societal and environmental factors driving the global obesity epidemic and proposes multifaceted strategies for combating it.

The escalation of global obesity is alarming, with predictions indicating a significant increase in obesity rates by 2030 and 2050. This trend underscores the urgency for effective intervention strategies to address this escalating public health crisis. In addressing obesity, the book emphasizes the need for coordinated action across different sectors of society, including public health strategies, healthcare system adaptations, private sector responsibility, and workplace contributions. The goal is to reverse the trend and mitigate the far-reaching impacts of this global epidemic.

As we embark on this journey through the pages of “Globesity,” it is my goal to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of obesity, equip them with practical knowledge for managing and preventing it, and foster a societal shift towards more compassionate and practical approaches to this global health issue​​.
