Weight Management #3: Biomarkers that change when we lose weight

Thanks to new biotech, we can now track blood biomarkers using finger prick technology. So what happens to our biomarkers when we embark on a weight management program? And does tracking them make weight loss easier? Host Amelia Phillips discusses this with molecular biology scientist Dr Elizabeth Fletcher, unpacking the key biomarkers that are impacted by weight loss, and how understanding these gives us a much more complete picture of our health than scales or BMI.
