Ohio State Can Help You Improve Your Life
Are you tired of diets that don't seem to work? Do you lack the motivation to exercise as much as you should? Whether you’ve been battling weight gain for years or you simply need to shed a few pounds, Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has the program that can be tailored to meet your needs.
For more than 20 years, Ohio State’s Comprehensive Weight Management Program has produced results that rank above the National Institutes of Health expected weight loss average. Our success is established by offering a complete health and wellness approach to weight management.
One of the key differences between our program and other diet or exercise plans is our focus on changing lifestyle behaviors, rather than just the number on the scale. Weight loss and a healthier lifestyle will not only help you feel better, but can help prevent chronic health conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes. Our experts will provide education on all aspects of a healthier lifestyle – including nutrition, behavior change and exercise.

Why is obesity a risk factor for severe COVID-19 symptoms?
A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions—including obesity—may be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
Partner with your pet to succeed with diet and exercise
Experts at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center say that partnering with your pet when implementing healthy habits can be a great way to find motivation and make you both happier and healthier.
Can you be overweight but healthy?
While being overweight is a precursor to obesity and, like obesity, can increase the risk of diabetes, heart attack and stroke, it’s also possible to be overweight and still healthy, especially if you’re free from chronic diseases like hypertension or diabetes.
