1. Your DNA could be stopping you from losing weight, new study suggests
A recent study by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Ben Gurion University revealed that genetic factors may play a role in why some individuals do not lose weight despite following a healthy diet. The study focused on 761 participants in Israel with abdominal obesity who were assigned various healthy diets for 18 to 24 months. Results showed that 36% of participants achieved significant weight loss, while 28% did not lose weight or even gained weight. Interestingly, those resistant to weight loss, particularly older individuals and women, still experienced health improvements similar to those who lost weight. The lead study author emphasized that weight loss is not the only indicator of improved health, and individuals can still benefit metabolically even without shedding pounds.
2. Invasive pests could stage dramatic comeback this summer, experts warn
Experts are warning of a potential surge in spotted lanternfly populations this year following a significant decline in the past. The increase in egg mass counts at a vineyard in Pennsylvania suggests a rise in activity. Although it’s uncertain if this will lead to a true surge, people are urged to be vigilant as the season progresses. The lanternflies, while not harmful to humans or animals, pose a serious risk to plants and crops, potentially affecting agricultural production. The invasive insect, known for feeding on over 70 plant species, can cause harmful mold growth on plants. It is recommended to remove young tree of heaven seedlings to prevent lanternflies from invading properties and to report any sightings to local pest control offices for identification and assistance.

4. Weight-loss surgery trumps popular Ozempic treatment in shocking new comparison
A recent study presented at the ASMBS 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting compared the effectiveness of weight-loss surgery to GLP-1 receptor agonist injections like semaglutide and tirzepatide. The study analyzed real-world data from over 51,000 patients at NYU Langone Health and NYC Health + Hospitals, all with a BMI of at least 35. Patients who underwent bariatric surgery lost an average of 58 pounds two years later, while those on GLP-1 medications lost 12 pounds over six months. Surgical outcomes showed a 24% total weight loss compared to 4.7% for injectable medications, contrary to clinical trial results. The study suggests that many patients discontinue GLP-1 treatment within a year, highlighting the need for better adherence or consideration of bariatric surgery for desired results. Future research will focus on improving outcomes for GLP-1 patients and identifying optimal candidates for surgery versus medication.
