The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

Tried everything to lose weight and nothing’s working? It’s not your fault. According to geneticist Giles Yeo, your body is hardwired to hold onto fat—especially as you age. Yeo breaks down why your metabolism slows, how your genes shape your hunger, and why exercise isn’t the fat-loss fix you think it is. If you’ve been eating better, moving more, and still not seeing results… this is the science-backed reality check you’ve been waiting for.
