Dr. Rees Checketts DO || Metabolic Medicine

Obesity is not primarily a willpower problem. It's a biology problem.

I'm Dr. Rees Checketts — a board-certified internist practicing obesity medicine in Utah. On this channel I break down the actual physiology and behavior of weight regulation: why your body defends fat stores, how appetite and metabolism really work, where GLP-1 medications fit, and why building muscle matters more than most people think.

No shame. No moralizing. No "just eat less and move more" without practical evidence-based tips on how to sustain that. Here you will find the biologic mechanisms explained clearly by a physician who treats this every day. If you've ever been told your weight is a character flaw, this channel is the correction.

New videos on the science and treatment of weight, appetite, metabolism, medication, and muscle.
