This is Ted Health, I'm your host, Dr. Shoshana Unger-Liter.

Our next episode is all about a pandemic, not COVID-19, the global obesity pandemic that's

been plaguing the world for 30 years.

Listen in as he shares his perspective that obesity is a complex disease, and why we should

treat it like one if we want to find a cure, lunch and furl.

18 and 35 live with their parents?

What defines joy when you live in one of the top ranked countries for happiness?

Here from the people that make up every interesting data point, listen to Am I Normal, wherever

you get your podcasts.

To be more precise, I study obesity.
