Diabesity (2 CEC)
Obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes have reached epidemic proportions. Yet as common as these conditions are, few people understand how closely they’re related to one another. It is now clear that not only do these conditions share the same underlying causes– and thus require the same treatment – they are 100% preventable and, in some cases, entirely reversible. Because of these similarities, Dr. Francine Kaufman coined the term diabesity (diabetes + obesity) to describe them. It’s almost impossible to overstate how serious and far-reaching a problem diabesity is. It affects more than one billion people worldwide. We’re going to uncover the real causes of diabesity, and we’re going to find out exactly how it can be prevented and even reversed in the majority of cases.
Looking inwards: How aspects of the self can be used to understand and influence health behaviour (2 CEC)
How we view ourselves is a recognized influence on behaviour, including behaviours that impact our health. In this research presentation, I will discuss my own and other research that addresses how self-perceptions can be examined to understand people’s motivation for and management of health behaviours. I will also share findings from intervention studies designed to alter aspects of the self to impact how people process health information or to promote health behavioural engagement.
