In today’s society obesity has become a nationwide epidemic that is affecting children and adults daily. Dietitians have an essential role in the health field to treat patients with nutrition problems such as obesity, but every patient is different and how the dietician decides the course of treatment is as well. For example, there are many ways the dietician can treat the patient like goal setting, self-monitoring, meal preparation, and other strategic plans that lead to the best health of the patient. When making a plan to treat the patient many detailed factors come into play. For example, patients age, occupation, family history, and most importantly social environment.

First, I would recommend decreasing the amount of sodium and saturated fat in his diet. The client should be conscious of what is in his food and educate himself on portion sizes. The U.S Department of Health and Human Services (2005) explains how important it is to reduce the amount of added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium to prevent weight gain or health problems such as hypertension, heart failure, high cholesterol or diabetes (HHS, 2005, para. 3-12).

J.M. is not managing her disease processes as evidenced by her increased blood glucose levels, HbA1C level and triglyceride level. Her glucose was only taken at home 33 times in 40 days, and 85% were above her target of 70-140 mg/dL. Her HbA1C level is 9.3% and her triglycerides are up considerably at 264 mg/dL. Her blood pressure when taken is 145/89 even though lisinopril is indicated on her medication list. These factors as well as her obesity, lack of physical activity and stress level each increase her risk of having a stroke (Clare, 2017).

Studying exercise physiology through college taught me the value of preventative care and exposed me to the relatively new field of integrative medicine. Though not particularly rigorous, the application of integrative medicine optimizes healthcare and shines in its simplicity. For example, a provider practicing integrative medicine would have a patient use their typical blood pressure medication as usual, but also recommend that they perform thirty minutes of moderate activity in the morning to keep their blood pressure ten points lower throughout the day. While its practice requires more patience and a deeper relationship with patients, something difficult to achieve when there is often pressure to see as many people as possible in a day.

Obesity in terms of measurement is a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 30. Health care professionals and most individuals understand obesity has many implications on one’s health. It is estimated that 78 million, nearly 36% of Americans, are obese (Yanovski & Yanovski, 2015). In a stark contrast, given the number of obese people in the US, approximately only 2.74 million patients were reported to use any type of obesity medications (Shinn & Gadde, 2013). Many barriers exist as to why there is such a small percentage of participants using any form of antiobesity medication: safety concerns, costs, limited efficacy, participants reluctance to view obesity as a diagnosis that would require medical intervention (Shin & Gadde, 2013).
