Dear Dr. Rajeswaran, Thank you very much for the insightful content you have shared. As a general practitioner in Malaysia at Poliklinik Optimal Health, I have a special interest in preventive health, lifestyle medicine, and health coaching. Occasionally, I encounter challenges when initiating discussions about weight-related topics, especially when patients present with other chief complaints. In such cases, I seek their permission to address any weight-related issues if they are pertinent to their primary concern. I believe it is crucial to approach these conversations diplomatically and without judgment. To this end, I employ motivational interviewing techniques when addressing obesity. Thank you again for your valuable insights.
