Anti-Obesity Innovation

Obesity is the leading cause of preventable death in America. That's why some of the best minds in the country are taking it on. Monday on the Sound of Ideas, we'll find out how they're doing. Advances in bariatric surgery have improved thousands of lives and nutrition science has opened new pathways to better health. But so far, drug therapy has failed to produce rewards that outweigh the risks. Join us for a discussion on what else might be on the horizon for treatment of public health enemy number one. Monday morning at 9:00 on The sound of ideas. Chris Coburn, executive director, Cleveland Clinic Innovation Center
