This research challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to obesity by comparing childhood- and adult-onset cases. Through physiological testing before and after weight loss, it examines differences in inflammation, metabolism, and fitness. Findings aim to support personalised treatments, improving patient outcomes and reducing the broader healthcare burden associated with obesity.

This research examines the overlap between IBS and eating disorder–like behaviours, where conflicting dietary advice creates clinical uncertainty. By interviewing patients and providers, it identifies two distinct groups based on motivation for food restriction. The goal is to develop tools that improve nutrition counselling and support better, safer patient care.
