Obesity Isn’t Your Fault: Biology, Addiction & Solutions with Dr. David Kessler
Obesity is often seen as a matter of willpower, but science tells a different story. My guest today, Dr. David Kessler—former FDA commissioner, lawyer, physician, and the man who took on Big Tobacco—explains why biology, not blame, drives our struggles with weight.
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we talk about why weight struggles are so common today, what new drugs can and can’t do, and how his new FDA petition targets one of the biggest culprits: processed refined carbs. Catch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

You’ll learn:
• How food companies use ingredients like processed refined carbs to make products irresistible
• Why GLP-1 drugs help many lose weight—but can’t fix the food environment driving the crisis
• How belly fat fuels heart disease, diabetes, and cancer—and why ultraprocessed foods are a big part of the problem
• Simple ways to break free from foods engineered to make you overeat
• What Dr. Kessler’s FDA petition could mean for limiting processed carbs in our food supply and improving our collective health
Plus, here’s a bonus: We’ve adapted Dr. Kelsser’s petition into a free PDF guide—The Hard Truth About Processed Carbs—so you can see exactly how these ingredients affect your health…and why his FDA petition REALLY matters.
Tune in, download the guide, and find out how you can be part of the solution.
