Description
 
Health professional counseling plays a key role in addressing the obesity epidemic. This easy-to-use and flexible tool is designed to help health professionals bring up and discuss the sensitive subject of excess weight with their adult patients.

Developed with a leading expert in the field, this award-winning flipbook systematizes the obesity counseling techniques developed by Dr. Robert Kushner of Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s Wellness Center.

We have compiled 10 topics in a step-by-step but flexible process to aid counseling with simple visual and textual information facing the patient and "educator tips" on the side facing the physician/counselor.

The tool was designed to be used throughout the counseling process, so you can use 1 section during a visit or go through the whole book, depending on the needs of your patient and the time you have to spend with them.

How one customer, Registered Dietitian, uses this tool: She leaves the flipbook sitting out, with the Weight Gain is Caused by Energy Imbalance page displayed. Interested patients have asked questions and made comments. The RD picks and chooses which parts of the book to use, depending on the patient needs. She says, “It works well and the professional information is very useful.”
