Join Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright on Fat Science for an eye-opening discussion on the Science of Appetite. Dr. Cooper dives into the mechanisms of metabolism medications, revealing how they signal satiety to the brain and impact hunger cues for people with metabolic dysfunction.
Andrea and Mark share their experiences with these medications, highlighting the psychological and physical changes in how they perceive hunger and satisfaction. Together, our hosts explore the misunderstood perceptions of heightened appetite and why this can be a symptom of metabolic dysfunction rather than a cause of obesity, offering practical advice on consistent fueling and maintaining balanced nutrition.
