Twin studies show that genes don’t actually help in individual prediction of obesity. Some people struggle to lose weight, while others seem to have no trouble at all staying thin.

What we know so far is that factors like individual differences in lifestyle and gut health play a role in becoming overweight. In this conversation, Dr. Tim Spector explains these factors and more.
