Fat Loss Conference

Going beyond eat less, exercise more

“While truly evidence-based practitioners know that Fat Loss comes back to energy balance, working with human beings makes fat loss, and fat loss maintenance, a highly complex area.”

We now know how important it is to view nutritional approaches to fat loss as more than just an equation by also looking at specific physiological, psychological, environmental and behavioural influences. The Fat Loss Focus Conference does just that, bringing you true experts in the fields of fat loss, motivational interviewing, emotional eating and nutrition. 

If you are looking to lose some body fat yourself, or are a nutritionist, dietitian, doctor, personal trainer or anyone working with clients and athletes that have fat loss goals, this is the conference for you!

After wrestling at UNC Chapel Hill as the Tar Heel heavyweight and earning a degree in exercise science, he headed to medical school.

During medical school, Dr. Nadolsky attended multiple obesity medicine conferences and realized that he wanted to use the same nutrition and exercise information he learned for athletics but now for the general population and health.
