Obesity is too often stigmatised as the result of poor lifestyle choices or as being entirely self-inflicted. In reality, it is a complex, multifactorial chronic condition which carries a significant genetic component. 🧬 This short explainer video summarises it excellently! 👏 #Obesity #MetabolicDisease
