Description

Obesity rates in the United States have escalated dramatically: from 22.9% in 1988-1994, to 41.9% in 2017-2020 (1).



With higher rates observed among females across all socioeconomic levels and age groups (2).


 
Dr. Sarah Williams joins me to explore the complex interplay between genetics, gut microbiome, hormones, and lifestyle that influences weight gain.



We dive into if/how these factors impact weight and what proactive steps can be taken to achieve sustainable weight management.

 


In this discussion, Dr. Williams and Dr. Pardee provide insights into the latest research on genetics, menopause, and aging and how each contributes to weight fluctuations.



We tackle multiple questions that are commonly misunderstood, like:

  • Does our metabolism slow as we age?

  • Is caffeine good for us? Bad for us? What's the deal?

  • How do menopause and hormone replacement therapy affect weight gain?



 
Here’s an overview of what you can expect in this discussion:
  • The role of genetics in weight management

  • Gut microbiome and weight regulation

  • Endocrine-disrupting chemicals

  • Menopause and weight gain

  • Metabolism and aging

  • Realistic weight loss goals
