Can You Blame Genes for Obesity? — with Dr. Tim Spector | The Proof Podcast EP 224

Twin studies show that genes don’t actually help in individual prediction of obesity. Some people struggle to lose weight, while others seem to have no trouble at all staying thin. Also, thin people tend to have thin relatives, and obese people tend to have obese ones. What gives? How much of being overweight (and being obese) is genetics? What we know so far is that factors like individual differences in lifestyle and gut health play a role in becoming overweight. In this conversation, Dr. Tim Spector explains these factors and more. ________ Dr. Tim Spector is a medically qualified professor of epidemiology and director of the TwinsUK registry at King's College London. His current work focuses on the microbiome and nutrition and he's co-founder of the company Zoe, which is a commercialised home kit for personalised nutrition.
