The Science of Appetite and Weight - Beyond Willpower

Professor Giles YeoGeneticist & Nutrition Scientist

Obesity is often portrayed as a simple equation of calories in versus calories out, but the reality is far more complex. In this masterclass, inspired by the groundbreaking research of Professor Giles Yeo, we explore the biological, genetic, and environmental factors that shape our relationship with food and body weight. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of why obesity is not merely a matter of choice, but a multifaceted condition influenced by brain chemistry, hormones, and modern food environments.
