"When my patients asked me about losing weight, I would say, 'Eat less and exercise more.' I know that it is more complicated than that. There are psychological and socioeconomic factors. There is bariatric surgery and there are medications. But 'eat less and exercise more' is common sense, and every intervention should include 'eat less and exercise more.'

David Galinsky is a geriatrician.

He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "It is time for the Supreme Court to help stem gun deaths."
