This year ushered in new weight-loss drugs along with important genetic discoveries to guide future treatment

Many people will remember 2023 as the year we ushered in a new age of weight-loss treatment, with GLP-1 agonists pivoting from diabetes to obesity treatment. This shift brought several issues to the forefront, such as inequality in access to healthcare, and society's complicated view of and relationship with "fatness."
