Obesity isn’t new—but the way we understand it is changing fast.
In this powerful and practical episode of Sense Making Conversations, health futurist Zayna Khayat joins Andrea Sampson to explore how modern medicine is disrupting one of the biggest public health crises of our time. With new therapies like GLP-1 agonists reshaping the obesity landscape, we may be on the edge of a dramatic shift in how we define—and deliver—health.
But this conversation goes far beyond weight loss. Together, Zayna and Andrea unpack how human biology, engineered food systems, sedentary lifestyles, and decades of cultural messaging collided to create the obesity crisis—and what a post-obesity world could mean for everything from healthcare and mental health to stigma, equity, and the global food economy.
If you care about the future of health, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. ___________________________________
