Obesity medicine is a rapidly evolving field—and physicians like Dr. Alina Chevtsov are helping shape its future. As the newest fellow in the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center’s Obesity Medicine Fellowship, Dr. Chevtsov is gaining specialized training in evidence-based, compassionate care. In this month’s Wellness Warrior feature, she discusses why she chose this path, her interest in the holistic treatment of obesity, and what she hopes to bring to the field.
