Giles Yeo at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

Whenever the latest dieting fad comes along, those promoting new
theories are well fed on the proceeds, while many people trying
to shed pounds are left wondering why nothing seems to work. Meet
Giles Yeo, geneticist and presenter on BBC’s Trust Me, I’m a
Doctor, who has spent 20 years researching the brain’s
relationship to food intake. In his book Gene Eating, he
describes his work and why he’s determined to break this cycle.
Hear all about it in this live recording from the Edinburgh
International Book Festival 2019 chaired by Ruth Wishart.
