This video was inspired by a client who, after many unsuccessful attempts to lose weight and keep it off, decided to try a combination weight loss drug called Naltrexone/Bupropion. This weight loss drug targets the Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), a catabolic signaling network in our hypothalamus thereby suppressing appetite and increasing energy expenditure. However, I have talked about POMC in my videos before, in particular my "High-Protein vs. High-Fiber: Fullness Factor or Facade?" video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z5OGM3BZuo
