Finn’s Hunger Finally Ends | Spokane News

An 11-year-old boy, Finn Rudmann, once battled uncontrollable hunger caused by a rare brain condition that damaged his hypothalamus—leaving him starving even after eating.

But now, a groundbreaking FDA-approved drug, setmelanotide, has transformed his life. Since starting treatment at Seattle Children’s Hospital, Finn finally feels satiated, can focus on being a kid again, and dreams of stand-up comedy. While insurance hurdles remain, this breakthrough offers hope and a return to normalcy for those living with hypothalamic obesity.
