What If Obesity Was The Consequence Of Diabetes?

Surgeon Peter Attia demonstrates that the obesity crisis might be hiding a bigger problem.

As a young surgeon, Peter Attia felt contempt for a patient with diabetes. She was overweight, he thought, and thus responsible for the fact that she needed a foot amputation.

Getting cause and effect right makes all the difference in the world. It saves lives.
