LIVE Q&A: Your gut health, dementia and weight loss questions answered by Prof Tim Spector, Prof Sarah Berry & Dr Federica Amati

What was said

"It's a real disgrace that the government, who is saying they're trying to roll this out to people, are spending taxpayers' money on this really expensive drug without giving people clear mechanisms to change their food behavior."

Professor Sarah Berry criticized government plans to roll out expensive GLP-1 weight loss drugs without providing nutritional education or support tools. She warned that without dietary changes, patients will simply regain weight after stopping medication, wasting public funds.
