Genetics vs Lifestyle: What Causes Weight Gain

At a time when obesity rates are rising rapidly across India and the world, fueling diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses, understanding why weight gain happens has never been more important. In today’s episode, hosted by Dr Vaishali Deshmukh, the renowned endocrinologist, we explore one of the most important questions in modern weight science: Is weight gain driven more by our genes or by our lifestyle? Joining us is Dr. Sanjay Agrawal, one of India’s leading experts in diabetes, obesity, and metabolic diseases, who will unpack the science behind why some people gain weight more easily than others even when they eat and exercise similarly.

This session will help you understand the hidden causes of obesity and what you can realistically do to work with your biology for better, long-term weight control. Whether you are struggling with weight, caring for someone who is, or simply want science-backed clarity, this conversation promises valuable insights you can apply to everyday life.

Tune in at 7.00pm for a powerful, patient-focused discussion that goes beyond myths and puts real science into a simple, practical perspective.
