Physically, they should make them responsible for finding a fun physically active activity that they do on a regular basis. It's fun, and it will burn off the calories. Mentally they should encourage them to work on their own emotional issues, which can often affect the body in surprisingly scary ways. They should also write letters to insurance companies to get more of them to cover it. Emotional well-being they can help by complimenting their patients, smiling and being as nice as possible, while also encouraging them to do something they enjoy once a day.
