Why These Drugs Aren't Magic Bullets—And How to Maximise Their Clinical ImpactThe sharp rise in GLP-1 agonist prescriptions – up over 42% in Australia since 2019 – is reshaping how we approach weight loss and metabolic health. But are we ready to support patients beyond the script?In this evidence-informed episode, dietitian and exercise scientist Robbie Clark joins us to unpack the clinical realities of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Far from being quick fixes, these medications work best when combined with targeted nutrition, resistance training, and gut support.Robbie explores how GLP-1 agonists enhance insulin secretion, suppress appetite, and deliver cardiovascular benefits, while sharing practical strategies to enhance patient outcomes and minimise side effects. From optimising protein intake (1.2–1.6 g/kg) to prevent muscle loss, to managing nausea and reflux, you'll gain the tools to confidently guide your patients through every stage of their GLP-1 journey.We also dive into the surprising science of bitter foods – like dandelion, grapefruit, and dark chocolate – that naturally stimulate GLP-1 receptors, offering a food-first support strategy that complements medication.Perhaps most crucial is the discussion on weight regain post-discontinuation, with studies showing 60–100% of lost weight can return within a year without lifestyle foundations. Robbie provides realistic, sustainable strategies to help patients move from medication reliance to long-term metabolic resilience.Whether you're currently supporting patients on GLP-1 medications or preparing for their growing use in practice, this episode delivers the clinical insights you need to turn short-term interventions into lasting lifestyle changeConnect with Robbie: healthbank.ioGet in touch!

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-17-2025: Dr. Dawn analyzes a leaked federal health program budget document, noting a significant $80 billion cut in discretionary funding, workforce reductions of 20,000 employees, elimination of disease prevention programs, and potential reorganization chaos that could impact healthcare access. She reports on research showing a troubling 5% increase in infant mortality rates in states that have implemented abortion bans, with particularly high increases among Black infants, demonstrating that these bans may have unintended negative consequences on families. Responding to an email about Dupuytren's contracture, Dr. Dawn describes a radiation therapy approach used in Europe that can treat early-stage disease with lower radiation doses, potentially stopping progression without surgery. She discusses new research suggesting that bacterial vaginosis should be treated as a sexually transmitted infection by treating both partners, which reduced recurrence rates from 63% to 35% compared to treating only the woman. Dr. Dawn addresses an email from a breast cancer survivor experiencing menopausal symptoms recommending 5-HTP, trazodone for sleep disruption, iron supplementation for her low ferritin, and dietary adjustments while noting concerns about the black box warning for NOT FEXO - CHECK THE EMAIL FOR THE NAME OF THE DRUG. A studio guest joins the conversation about healthcare priorities, discussing how the American medical system focuses more on disease treatment than prevention, with both agreeing that public spaces should be redesigned to encourage physical activity like in European cities. Responding to an email about a 61-year-old man experiencing dizziness and balance issues when standing or walking, Dr. Dawn suspects B12 deficiency possibly caused by past heavy alcohol use and longstanding acid reflux medication, recommending specific tests. She recommends a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in each ear every night as the best at-home solution to melt earwax buildup and prevent recurrence of blockage.

Tendinopathy can arise from various factors, including metabolic and autoimmune conditions. Pain mechanisms are complex and should be viewed in a biopsychosocial context. Subgrouping in tendinopathy can provide insights but should not overshadow individual treatment. Aging can increase sensitivity to tendon injuries due to metabolic changes. Metabolic syndrome is linked to poorer tendon health and healing. Fluoroquinolones are associated with increased risk of tendon rupture. Lateral hip tendinopathy often coexists with other musculoskeletal pain conditions. Understanding the patient's story is crucial for effective treatment. Tendon health is influenced by overall systemic health and lifestyle factors. Autoimmune conditions can significantly influence tendinopathy. Screening for inflammatory factors is crucial in assessment. Understanding the patient's story is key to diagnosis. Lifestyle factors should be addressed in treatment plans. There is a need for more research on non-athletic populations. The average delay in diagnosis for autoimmune conditions is significant. Medications can have varying effects on tendon health. Comprehensive assessment can improve treatment outcomes. Clinicians should routinely ask about lifestyle factors. Common sense and flexibility in treatment approaches are essential.

What you eat and drink determines how you feel—and can inform your ability to develop or ward off chronic disease. This week, I'm joined by Dr. Robert Rountree, a leading expert in integrative and personalized medicine. We sat down to discuss how an inflammatory diet is linked to chronic disease, the health benefits of medicinal fungi, and which types you should start incorporating into your daily wellness routine. In this episode, you'll discover: The Role of Inflammation in Chronic Diseases: If you regularly consume inflammatory foods and beverages (think: high-sugar, high-carb, and overly processed), you run the risk of setting inflammation in the body in motion, says Dr. Rountree, adding, "The problem is, it doesn't always turn off." And inflammation is the precursor to virtually all chronic diseases. The Power of Medicinal Fungi: Training your immune system is possible, according to Dr. Rountree, and medicinal fungi can help strengthen it to combat a wide range of infections. "The first rule is to eat as many of the ones you like as you can," he shares, citing lion's mane, shiitake, oyster, and king trumpet as the best mushrooms to cook with. Mushroom Varieties and Their Benefits: Different mushrooms have different benefits. Cordyceps can help with adrenal and kidney support, reishi is known as "the elixir of immortality" can help support stamina, while coriolus (also known as turkey tail) can help combat cancer. Go ahead and have your pick of the harvest—you can't go wrong with any of them. 09:55 The Role of Inflammation in Chronic Diseases 13:51 Understanding Inflammation and Diet 24:47 Solutions: Mushrooms and Medicinal Fungi 30:51 Understanding Trained Immunity 31:06 Clinical Insights on S.
