Steroid-induced Obesity

teroids are life-saving medicines used to treat conditions such as asthma, arthritis, lupus, allergies, and many autoimmune diseases. However, many people notice unexpected weight gain after starting these medicines and often wonder whether it is simply due to overeating or a lack of exercise. Today, we'll explore how steroids can affect the body's hormones and metabolism, why they can change body fat distribution, and what patients can do to manage their weight safely without stopping essential medicines on their own. We'll also discuss practical strategies for healthy eating, physical activity, and when to speak with your doctor about treatment options. Join us at 7.00 pm for this insightful session.
