Dr. Tim Allerton from Pennington Biomedical Research Center recaps Obesity Week in Atlanta and dives into the science behind America’s weight crisis. From evolutionary mismatches to ultra-processed diets and sedentary lifestyles, he explains why obesity is so complex—and why Pennington is leading the charge in research. We explore the promise and pitfalls of GLP-1 drugs, the importance of sustainable lifestyle changes, and how even wearables and walking buddies can make a difference. Plus, Dr. Allerton shares insights from his cutting-edge research on heart failure and exercise intolerance. It’s science, strategy, and hope—all in one conversation.
