It's well-known that the US has a problem with high rates of obesity and related health issues. Less well-understood are some of the basic mechanisms at the core of gaining and losing weight - how metabolism works, and the ways our bodies store and expend energy.
We're talking with Dr. C. Lawrence Kien, professor of pediatrics and medicine at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. His research focuses on the links between diet, metabolism, obesity, and disease.
Also on the program, Norwich University is hosting the inaugural Resilient Vermont Conference. We’ll talk about the conference with two of the people behind it, organizer Rebecca Stone and Professor Tara Kulkarni.
More information on the conference is here.
Broadcast live on Tuesday, May 17, 2016, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
