A lecture by Matt Higgins
How about enrolling on the latest diet plan? How about hiring a personal trainer? Or can you get thin just through a weekly injection? Weight-loss for many has been transformed by development of new medicines which can deliver dramatic benefits for people fighting obesity.
How do they work? Why do they work better for some people than others? Do they have dangers to health and society? We considers the weight-loss medication revolution and where it might be heading.
