About this listen
In this episode of Docs Who Lift, the Nadolsky brothers dive deep into the newly released American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (ACE) Algorithm for Obesity Care led by Dr. Karl himself. They explore:
Why ACE moved away from a BMI-only approach to a person-centered, complication-centric model
The new staging framework (ABCD) that helps individualize treatment intensity
How to interpret “clinical” vs “preclinical” obesity under the new model
Updated targets for clinically meaningful weight loss (5%, 10%, 15% tiers)
The emphasis on resistance training, sleep, and behavioral health alongside nutrition
Practical guidance for selecting anti-obesity medications and identifying the right therapy for each patient
Whether you’re a clinician, health professional, or patient trying to understand modern obesity care, this episode breaks it all down in a practical, real-world way without the jargon.
