Ever wonder why the same weight loss plan can work wonders for one person but barely move the needle for another?

Or why some people respond really well to medications like Wegovy, while others struggle with side effects or see minimal results? That’s exactly what precision obesity medicine aims to answer—and today, we’re diving into it with one of the world’s leading experts.

We’re joined by Dr. Andres Acosta, a true pioneer in obesity medicine and the creator of the obesity phenotypes concept. He’s board-certified in internal medicine, gastroenterology, hepatology, obesity medicine, and nutrition. At the Mayo Clinic, he co-directs the Nutrition and Obesity Research Program and leads the Precision Medicine for Obesity program, focusing on matching the right treatment to the right patient with fewer side effects.

Dr. Acosta’s research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, with more than 145 peer-reviewed papers in top journals. His work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, CNN, and NPR, and he’s earned “40 Under 40” recognition and co-founded Genomic Sciences—just a glimpse of his many accomplishments.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by trial-and-error weight loss or wondered if there’s a more scientific way to find what actually works for you, you’re going to want to hear what Dr. Acosta shares in this episode.
