These videos look at obesity and discuss key physiological and psychological concepts around the brain’s control of appetite and body weight. Consider the biological and environmental pressures, and reflect on your own knowledge and assumptions. We deliver course materials as a mixture of videos, podcasts and short readings. An insightful resource for anyone interested in understanding different perspectives on how we tackle this global issue.
These videos are free open resources originally created for the short course, Understanding Obesity:

If the course is not currently running, you can still work through the resources in your own time using the videos in this playlist.
