Diabesity and the Microbiome by Filomena Trindade is a presentation that took place at Silicon Valley Health Institute on September 15, 2016.

Diabetes and obesity are global health conditions which are increasing. Adult obesity prevalence increased from 13 to 32% between the 1960s and 2004. Changes in obesity prevalence among children and teens tripled, from nearly 5% to approximately 15% since the 1960s. Currently, 66% of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. The incidence of diabetes is increasing and afflicting new populations including children and developing societies. Diabetes is occurring at younger ages and at lower BMI levels. It appears that both our understanding of the disease and our treatment of the disease are inadequate. Current approaches are not working.
