The Myth of Normal (1/5): The brain science of obesity | Mads Tang-Christensen

TED Health · 12 min

Episode Description

Your belly and your brain speak to each other, says obesity researcher Mads Tang-Christensen. Offering scientific proof that obesity is a disease influenced by genetics and the environment, he introduces a molecule discovered in both the brain and gut that helps control appetite -- and which could be engineered to promote healthy weight loss for those living with obesity.
