I share studies on how heritable your body weight is, and share a pretty wild list of traits you’d never expect to be just as or more heritable than your weight.
The bonus content and discussion forums I talk about are over on my Patreon page.
Here’s a link to the video page, or you can watch it below:

Miche, Ph.D. 
Hi Miche,
Thanks for all you do always! I am writing for two concerns:
Can you address weight control fluctuations during menopause?
Do you have any Holiday dinner recommendations for Thanksgiving for people with high blood pressure and hypothyroidism?
I would really appreciate this help. My husband has the high blood pressure. I am resisting the idea of using a search engine because I would like to hear it from you.
In regards to your article, my mother gained weight during her menopause and so did it, but then she lost it later on in life and left it off. I kind of see a similar pattern working in my life.
Thanks in advance, Helen
