Most people think obesity comes down to willpower. A doctor who treats it every day says the science tells a very different story.

In this interview, I sit down with Dr. Nicholas Paulk — a physician specializing in weight management through GLP-1 medications, bariatric surgery, and lifestyle intervention — to break down the three problems with obesity: how it actually develops, how to treat it effectively, and the misperceptions that keep people from getting the help they need.
