Summary
The investigators believe they key to effective prevention of obesity is early identification of individuals at high risk of excess weight gain and proactive implementation of a comprehensive approach including lifestyle-based coaching and preventive medical management targeting the pathophysiology of dysregulated energy metabolism. In this study the investigators will take a fundamentally different approach to the science of obesity prevention by targeting the underlying biological processes driving unhealthy weight gain in adolescents/young adults (AYAs), a group that has been underrepresented in medication trials.
