obesity phenotype and guide treatment decisions. Personalizing
treatments can reduce variability in patient response,
improve outcomes, and reduce overall healthcare costs.
MDB: How does phenotyping affect patient adherence
to medication?
MB: The current trial-and-error approach to obesity
treatment costs patients a lot of money, time, and sometimes
unbearable side effects. This approach leaves patients
frustrated and not willing to adhere to treatment. If we use
precision medicine when approaching obesity treatment
(through phenotyping), we have a significantly higher
chance at getting patients on the right treatment the first
time, resulting in greater outcomes and adherence.
MDB: Why is obesity a disease that would benefit from
precision medicine?
MB: Any time there is variability in response to treatment,
that variation suggests that precision medicine is an approMDB:
How is precision medicine poised to change the
future of obesity patient care?
MB: There is well-documented variability in response to
obesity treatments, including diets, medications, devices, and
surgical techniques. The conventional approach to treatment
ignores this evidence - diet plans, drug therapies, devices,
etc. are all marketed as if they are equally applicable to all
patients. Without a systematic method of determining the
right intervention for the right patient, patients and their
physicians are subjected to a trial-and-error approach to their
treatment until the right diet or drug or surgery is found.
Obesity precision medicine solves this. It is an innovative approach
that uses information about an individual's genomics,
and environmental and lifestyle information to identify their
