His most recent book, Nature Wants Us to Be Fat, details his group's discovery of a switch that controls obesity and how it can be turned on and off. The story of the discovery process and how it can be reversed involved some detective work and combined many sources of information, including not only classical laboratory and clinical research, but of studies of animals in the wild, history, archeology, and even studies from prehistoric times. It is also presented in an easy to read but informative way. He is currently Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver.
