#4 Are Weight Loss Drugs the Answer? | Prof Giles Yeo

from Emerald Health Podcast · host Emerald Health

Weight loss is one of the most misunderstood topics in medicine and one of the most important. This episode of the Emerald Health Podcast sets out to change that. We are joined by Professor Giles Yeo, geneticist, BBC science presenter, and one of the world's leading researchers in the biology of obesity, to cut through the noise around weight, diet, and the GLP-1 revolution. From the brain circuits that govern why we eat to the science behind the most talked-about drugs in medicine right now, Professor Yeo brings his trademark rigour, wit, and unflinching honesty.
