Obesity Isn’t Your Fault: Biology, Addiction & Solutions with Dr. David Kessler

Obesity is often seen as a matter of willpower, but science tells a
different story. My guest today, Dr. David Kessler—former FDA
commissioner, lawyer, physician, and the man who took on Big
Tobacco—explains why biology, not blame, drives our struggles with
weight. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we talk about why
weight struggles are so common today, what new drugs can and can’t
do, and how his new FDA petition targets one of the biggest
culprits: processed refined carbs. Catch the full conversation on
YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. [YOUTUBE
