We are excited to announce that Phenomix Sciences founder and CEO, Dr. Andres Acosta was featured in this month's issue of Scientific American! In the article Mind Over Meal, Dr. Acosta discusses the complex signaling involved in the gut-brain axis and how treatments must be selected based on each patient's unique abnormalities to guide effective weight loss outcomes.  The article also features a fresh perspective for how bariatric surgery is actually responsible for producing weight loss. (Hint: it involves the same complex signaling pathways that we are analyzing with the Phenomix test!)  Congratulations Dr. Acosta for the in depth feature in Scientific American!
