Thank you for the opportunity to advance read the new book Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine by David Kessler, MD. This book was well researched and provided a wealth of information about obesity, brain science, and recent advances in weight loss medications. I especially appreciated the information about our history with processed foods, techniques for re-wiring the brain for weight loss, and the information about GLP-1 medications. As someone who has tried almost everything to lose weight and finally jumped off the yo-yo diet train, I find the GLP-1 meds to be yet one more fad in a long line of diet industry fads. Because of this I have stayed far away from information regarding these medications. I appreciated that the author recognized both the benefits and drawbacks of the medications and the current over-use of the meds due to celebrity endorsements. This is a good book for anyone looking for a well-researched book on obesity and weight loss.
