57. The Science of Weight Gain/Loss

A new year and for many a new commitment to shift those extra pounds. But how much of weight gain is down to bad habits, and how much is down to more unalterable factors, like your age? Luke explores the science of weight gain, and specifically how age affects your fat cells, and also looks at why gut microbiomes could be at the root of many of our cravings.
