  • Episode 9 - Genetics
    2022/09/29
    Across 8 episodes of our debut podcast series Unlearn to Learn, we’ve established that obesity is nothing if not a complex disease. Studies have shown that obesity is multifactorial and everything from socio-economic factors to poor mental health can contribute to the increase in cases over the years. With its pinpoint precision and set of diagnostic tools, modern technology has allowed researchers to explore how genetics play a role in the cause of obesity, advancing our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of weight gain and regulation tenfold. In this episode, the final episode of Unlearn to Learn, we’ll be taking a closer look at the relationship between obesity and genetics with Professor Sadaf Farooqi. Sadaf joins Alexander to discuss how genetics and biology can interact with other factors, such as environment, in increasing a patient’s risk of obesity. They also explore the science behind the leptin hormone and its relationship to weight regulation. Spread the word: Follow, like, share, review We want to build a Unlearn to Learn community.

  • Episode 8 - Pharmacotherapy
    2022/09/15
    Behavioural modification and lifestyle adjustments are the first step in treating obesity. Whilst these are important in treating obesity, it is difficult to achieve or sustain the process of weight loss, especially long-term through these alone. Pharmacotherapy has quickly surfaced as an alternative therapeutic approach to intensive lifestyle intervention; essentially bridging the gap between behaviour changes and more intense treatment such as surgery. In this episode of Unlearn to Learn, we’ll be delving into the world of Pharmacotherapy with Dr Caroline Apovian. Caroline joins Alexander to discuss what FDA approved medicine is currently being used to treat obesity, as well as some of the benefits and risks associated with drug treatment. As always on the podcast, they’ll debunk some common myths surrounding obesity medication before analysing the science behind it and examining the relationship and potential causality between multiple different drugs and the disease itself.

  • Episode 7 - Nutrition
    2022/09/01
    In today’s society, we’ve cultivated an ethos of instant gratification. Life is fast-paced. The role that nutrition plays in both preventing and treating obesity is crucial. Nutrition is a critical part of both health and development. Better diet and nutrition have shown to improve health, immune systems, lead to less lethargy, and more consistent energy levels and life longevity. Whilst the causes of obesity are varied and involve a complex interplay between dietary factors and various internal genetics and external exposures, the role of nutrition is key not only for obesity but for our overall health. In this episode of Unlearn to Learn, we’ll be talking about nutrition and the dietetic assessment. Through this, we’ll touch upon a bespoke form of treatment labelled ‘personalised nutrition’ and go on to look at the different types of diet out there, as well as the dietitian’s role as part of a multidisciplinary health team. In this episode, Honorary Consultant Dietitian Mary O’Kane from Leeds Teaching Hospitals joins Alexander to discuss how various psychosocial issues and factors can affect weight, as well as eating behaviours and disorders.
