TRANSCRIPTION:

Karlijn Burridge, PA-C: Hey everyone. My name is Karlijn Burridge, and I'm a PA and I specialize in obesity medicine. I'm the President of PAs in Obesity Medicine and I'm the Owner of Gaining Health. And I'd like to invite you to attend this session that I presented with Dr Michael Bloch, titled: "Opportunities to Improve Metabolic Syndrome with your Patient."

In this session, we'll review metabolic syndrome, discuss different ways to address lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy with your patients, and take a deeper dive into using motivational interviewing, and the 5 A's model of behavior change to communicate effectively with your patients, and to strengthen your patient's own motivation, and commitment to changing these important health behaviors. So I hope you enjoy our session.
