In this week’s Medical Minute, Dr. Joseph Hobbs, chairman of the Department of Family Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, discusses a fascinating mouse model study of morbid obesity and diabetes that showed how a daily dose of whole body vibration, like time on a treadmill, reduces body fat and insulin resistance, and also improved muscle and bone strength.

The Medical Minute airs at 8:18 a.m., 1:20 p.m. and 5:18 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday on the 17 GPB radio stations across Georgia. For more Medical Minute episodes, visit the GPB Augusta SoundCloud page.
