Description

That's paved the way for the success of companies like 23andMe who sell the promise of helping us figure out who are and where we come from.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Losing It, a new series from Bloomberg’s Prognosis, looks at how we got weight loss so wrong — and whether there’s a better way forward.
