What we aim to solve
When it comes to weight loss and health, the world is full of misinformation. Where can people find physicians they can trust? The Tri-state Obesity Society is a professional membership society that promotes the practice of evidence-based obesity medicine. We created a community for clinicians to disseminate scientific information, dispel myths, and learn from experts and peers.
