    Dr Giles Yeo: Obesity, Food Noise and the Truth About GLP-1s
    May 5 2026
    In this episode of Just As Well, Claire Sanderson and Gemma Atkinson are joined by Dr Giles Yeo — obesity expert, geneticist and bestselling author — for a powerful conversation on the science of weight. Together, they explore why obesity is a chronic disease rather than a simple lifestyle choice, and how our brains, genetics and environment shape the way we eat. Dr Yeo explains the concept of “food noise”, why some people feel hungrier than others, and why losing weight can feel like your body is working against you. They also take a deep dive into GLP-1 drugs, including how they work, who they’re designed for, and why they shouldn’t be treated as cosmetic quick fixes. From the risks of misuse to the potential future of these medications, this episode offers a clear, evidence-based perspective on one of the most talked-about topics in health today. A thoughtful and compassionate look at obesity, weight stigma and what it really takes to improve our health. Want more from Women’s Health?
