Yeah . So at the simplest level , obesity is excess fat on the body . And how do we define what is excess ?
I have a phd in Neurobiology from the University of Washington and I've been doing research for about 11 years and publishing uh my thoughts online as well . Fundamentally , excess fat , mass obesity , overweight those conditions as far as we know . Well , I mean , this is just thermodynamic fact , it's caused by more energy entering the body than energy exiting the body .
Yeah . So I think it is causal , I think excess body fat does cause these health problems . Um However , I don't wanna state that with 100% confidence and I also uh don't wanna uh imply 100% certainty that that's the only mechanism .
But , um from a a health point of view , so we're , we're talking about , we're talking about the kind of incident or prevalence of being overweight or obese . What is it about excess fat or adiposity that is problematic for a for a human's health ? Like why are we actually interested in exploring this and , and helping people better manage their body weight or body fat ?
