This short video introduces where the research direction for obesity treatments is headed. While previous medications focused on reducing appetite, recent developments are in drugs that increase basal metabolic rate to boost calorie consumption itself. Research aiming to mimic metabolic responses that occur during exercise with medication is also in the clinical stage. The common goal is to reduce muscle loss and primarily lose fat to prevent the yo-yo effect. However, the introduced drugs are still in the development and clinical stages and differ from currently prescribed treatments. O.N Clinic | Last reviewed 2026-09-26
