Guest: Dr George Lee, Consultant Urologist, Dr Nurain Mohd Noor, Head of Endocrinology, Hospital Putrajaya

What does it mean to be obese? We’re now slowly recognising that it’s not just a result of your lifestyle choices, but is a complex disease. Earlier this year, a group of international experts published new guidelines to change how doctors view obesity and emphasised the need to approach it as a chronic disease. We’ll find out what that means with Dr George Lee, and Dr Nurain Mohd Noor, consultant endocrinologist from Hospital Putrajaya.
