Are you an emotional or over eater? Leading medic and former head of the US FDA Dr David A. Kessler joins Liz to take a deeper look at how our food environment encourages to eat more than we really need to.

David and Liz discuss why we need to be concerned about ectopic and visceral fat, and David gives his take on why obesity is steeply rising.

They also reveal practical solutions to stop overeating, whether weight loss injections can be helpful for long-term weight management, and how we can change attitudes to ultra-processed foods.
