This two-part podcast series addresses the science and social science of obesity with a goal of changing how we see, prevent and treat obesity by helping people with obesity see their weight and weight management differently, and helping physicians and other healthcare professionals gain a more robust understanding of obesity and talk with their patients about obesity differently.

Tune in to this episode to learn about:

The brain’s role in appetite control and regulating food intake
The different drivers of why people eat including homeostatic eating, hedonic eating and executive function
Hormones involved in signaling the brain about hunger and satiety
How there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution for losing weight
Why physicians and other healthcare professionals need to talk to patients about obesity differently
The reality that people with obesity do not have to manage this on their own and there is hope and personalized strategies to manage weight that go beyond diet and exercise
Even just a 5-15% weight loss can improve some weight related conditions
