Obesity is a complex medical condition that affects how your body stores and uses energy. It isn’t simply about eating too much or moving too little — it’s a disease that disrupts how your metabolism works. This often happens because of an excess of visceral fat, which is fat that surrounds your internal organs. Visceral fat triggers inflammation throughout the body, which can lead to other serious health problems.
Having obesity increases your risk for several health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and joint pain. It also increases the risk for 13 types of cancer — in fact, research shows that having obesity increases your risk of developing certain cancers by 40%.
The good news: obesity is treatable. At TriHealth, we care for the whole person. That means helping you understand your metabolism, supporting your mental health, and guiding you through healthy eating, movement, and long-term behavior changes.
