AYOOO!! My name is Stephanie Buttermore and in a few words I am a fitness enthusiast but a scientist at heart!

Just obtained my Ph.D. in pathology and cell biology with a research focus on the molecular mechanisms that drive ovarian cancer progression. Hope you stick around! xoxo

Heyyoooo! Hope you enjoy this video! I wanted to make this video as entertaining and easy to understand as possible, but if you want the nitty gritty science behind all of this, I've listed the papers I discuss on the FTO gene in the the description box! I'm actually heading to Hong Kong TOMORROW!! SO the next video will include my travel n' such! If you are from Hong Kong or have been there, PLEASE leave me suggestions in the comments!! I'd REALLY appreciate it! Love you all so much! xoxo 😘

I've been trying to lose weight for several years now, and I have had no progress. I tend only eat a meal a day (trying to control my portions while I am at it) and I go the gym or incorporate some sort of work out all most everyday of the week. Yet, with all of this I am losing nothing and it's killing me inside. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I've tried other things too. Starving myself, watching calories, working out for 2 hours straight and just eating several meals a day with small portions. Some were done really carefully, while other I couldn't dedicate myself to them due to school and other duties (eating several meal with small portions). I am completely and utterly confused because all I want is to have smaller thighs and a generally flat stomach that doesn't bulge out when I sit, forcing me to cover my stomach. I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin.

I love your videos! I love how articulate you are and enjoy the scientific research. I’ve always wondered why I tend to keep weight on so easily. Diet and exercise make it possible to keep a “normal” weight, but getting lean is so hard for me.

I've always wondered about this. I wonder if genetic information companies like 23 and Me have an ability to see if an individual has the FTO gene in their DNA. Gonna check that out now. Thank you for your videos! I am learning lots about health and nutrition, thanks to you!

Hi!!!!
thank you for your videos!!!!!! I really would like a video on your PhD journey. One that gives advice, and also shares the challenges you have encountered, how you have planned your way there, anything that you would have done differently, or anything that you have done that was very useful. Is there any books you would recommend for master and PhD theses… how can we hunt for jobs while in school, how can we make great mentors and networking in order to open career avenues and/or career expansion (such as in the medical field). Furthermore, would you also be able to share tips on becoming an impressive scientist 👩🏽‍🔬 so that people don’t brush us away in job interview. Thank you so much for reading! I would really really really really extremely totally appreciate it if you take time for such videos. I am interested in cancer studies, I will be in a master of science in biomedical sciences program but I am aiming for a PhD. I am not sure if you are aware of Biomedical sciences, but anyways, I would love to learn from your experience! Thx 😊 😊 😊

P.S: I did watch the other science videos you made about that.

There is no gene about fat. Just you believe that you are fat because of gene. Exercise regularly.

There is only one thing, mathematically speaking that can possibly determine obesity levels: nutrition. Take a minute to think about that. All these studies are speculations.

I honestly like you better now after you've found your set weight. I don't believe everyone has a specific way they have to look like, I myself went through a thin phase to then regaining weight. But I just see you much more healthier now with a full face, a full curvy body and maybe you can find new ways of being fit that don't necessarily aline with the "bikini competition" kind of fit. <3
Much love <3 And props for taking care of your health!

I am a 17 yr old active teen, I play basketball, hockey and I workout almost everyday, but I still have more body fat than average teens. I don’t overeat. I eat 2-3 meals a day and drink water a lot throughout the day. I have been training since I was 10 and played hockey since I can remember, started playing pick up ball 3 yrs ago.

No. No they can't. They can increase the risk, yes, but they cannot cause it. The only thing to cause it is the amount of food you eat and how often.

I definitely have these 2 bastards in my genome. I'm cursed to be at 20% body fat no matter what — without eating sugar, without drinking alcohol and exercising regularly (and I mean serious exercising, like ring muscle ups, pushups, pullups, muscle ups on the bar, levers, etc). I have a strong apatite and probably a weaker energy expendature.

I definitely blame my genetics for the way I look I don’t have skinny ankles or skinny wrists even when I weigh 95 pounds they’re just a larger size than someone else who’s frame is much smaller. And the only time I’ve ever been 95 pounds is when I starved myself to death ending up in the hospital. When I ate correctly exercised I was a normal slim size but never very slim or skinny. I’m also naturally built very short and muscular I don’t have to do anything to have it! And if I eat like my skinny friends healthy but a good amount of calories I get chubby. And I work out too so no other way to explain how frustrating that really is.

The pleasant fast scientist. You are the amount you eat plane and simple. I believe that what we take in pass on to generations. Things that foods that contain artificial flavors, sugars, steroids, large amounts of salts and what ever else is put into food these days are at some point part of your make up and then passed on to generations. No one wants to say it but I know we see the results of children who are over weight by the time they turn 5 years old. In other words what you eat affect future generations.

When we see a thin person we often assume that they must have a fast metabolism. It's strange that when we see an obese person, we don't automatically think that they must have a slow metabolism. A lot of times body weight and size is based on biology and genes, rather than willpower.

Of you burn more calories than you eat you will lose weight and that's a fact.
If you are fat it's your fault, I'm not sorry.
