In this week's episode, we examine a little-known benefit of being in weight loss trials: the placebo effect. We look at data showing that most people lose weight in weight loss trials, even those who take no active medication, and explore how being on a placebo can improve markers of health. This helps underscore the importance of staying in clinical trials all the way to the end.
