"I’m determined to begin and continue this conversation because losing my brother to obesity a year ago – I feel it should not have happened," the 50-year-old told Fox News Digital. "I wish I had a better understanding of the disease back then. I wish I knew what I’m experiencing now. And I think as we begin to open up the dialogue, we can have the conversation and encourage people to understand their body, so they can create change."
