Episode 16: Do genetics play a role in weight loss?

*TRIGGER WARNING*: This episode discusses topics related to weight loss, obesity and dieting.

In this week's episode, we dive in to the genetics of weight. Obviously, weight loss and gain are heavily impacted by our lifestyle, but there are some genetic markers that make certain individuals predisposed to conditions such as obesity and weight gain. I discuss some of the genes related to weight loss and what these genetic markers could help doctors treat patients suffering from obesity in the future.
