Episode notes

The Economist says that by the year 2035, four billion people will be overweight or obese. The cost of that obesity in terms of lost productivity is estimated as $4 trillion. A lot of people associate obesity with willpower but there's more to it than just not being able to control eating habits.

The NIA boys discuss the “miracle” obesity drug, Chris Rock’s new Netflix Special, Balaji's book, living a healthy lifestyle, and much more.
