About
Why do some people seem to shed weight easily while others don’t get the same results, no matter how hard they try? According to the theory of obesity phenotypes, the way each of us gains weight is different — and the best way to lose it may be different, too.
On this episode of On Nutrition, bariatrician, gastroenterologist and internist Dr. Andres Acosta shares his research on obesity phenotypes, how genetics can play a role in developing obesity, and how a person’s phenotype gives providers a pathway to tailor treatment.
