Michelle speaks with the first Gastroenterologist in Singapore to be recognised as a National Fellow by World Obesity Federation, to find out about advances in weight control.

As science transforms our understanding of obesity, experts now recognise it as a chronic disease shaped by biology, hormones and the brain - not just lifestyle choices.

Hosted by Michelle Martin in conversation with Dr Ravishankar Asok-kumar, Senior Consultant, Gastroenterologist and Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopist at Singapore General Hospital, this episode explores why weight regain is so common, where GLP-1 medications and new minimally invasive treatments fit, and why personalised obesity care could change not just our weight, but our long-term health, confidence and quality of life.

Money and Me: 3 Singapore REITs at a Turning Point

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, we unpack SK Hynix's record-breaking US$26.5 billion U.S. listing and why investors are pouring money into the critical infrastructure powering artificial intelligence.

We explore Meta's move into AI coding, OpenAI's launch of its long-awaited AI "super app," and the growing legal battle over whether AI companies should compensate news publishers for the content that trains their models.

We also check in on a steadier Wall Street as geopolitical tensions ease and examine what calmer markets mean for investors.

Finally, we look at why the next stage of the AI revolution may be won not just by software developers- but by the companies building the chips, memory and infrastructure behind it.
