For decades, we’ve been told that weight loss is simply about eating less and exercising more. But what if that explanation is incomplete?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Dr. Evan Nadler, one of the nation’s leading pediatric bariatric surgeons, childhood obesity researcher, and pioneer in obesity treatment.

With more than twenty years of experience treating children with obesity and researching the biology of fat cells, Dr. Nadler explains why obesity is a complex disease—not a personal failure. We explore genetics, childhood obesity, inherited risk, the gut-brain connection, new weight-loss medications, and why understanding the science behind obesity changes everything.

Whether you’re concerned about your own health, your child’s future, or simply want to better understand one of the world’s fastest-growing health challenges, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.
