Semaglutide, branded as Ozempic or Wegovy, is an analogue of glucagon-like peptide 1 which has glucose-dependent effects on insulin secretion. In this episode we discuss how semaglutide performs as an antihyperglycaemic agent compared to previous GLP-1 analogues and the soon-to-be launched tirzepatide. This dual agonist also binds receptors to glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, GIP.GLP-1 and GIP are incretin hormones, secreted after food intake and involved in regulating gastric motility and appetite. The analogue therapies have resulted in weight loss of 10 to 20 percent in trials on patients with obesity or other weight-related comorbidities. For various reasons, however, they remain unsubsidised by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. This hasn't stopped social media influencers driving up off-label demand from the wider public, creating a problem for regulators and the diabetic patients most in need.GuestsProfessor Chris Rayner MBBS PhD FRACP (Gwendolyn Michell Professor, Adelaide Medical School; Consultant Gastroenterologist, Royal Adelaide Hospital) Professor Gary Wittert MBBch, MD, FRACP (Mortlock Professor, Adelaide Medical School; Senior Consultant Endocrinologist, Royal Adelaide Hospital)ProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

Surfing NASH is joined by Tim Jobson, founder of Predictive Health Intelligence, to discuss applying analytics to sieve through and distill invaluable data otherwise dormant in the NHS record systems. Tim, a Consultant Gastroenterologist and Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, has firsthand experience with the shortcomings and frustrations around undiagnosed liver disease. Illustrating the pursuit of a solution, he walks us through the journey of developing a simple tool that can identify patients at risk of liver disease by analyzing the results of blood tests given throughout their lives. Also featuring in this session are Surfers Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green, who pose compelling questions and share insightful perspectives on this particularly pertinent subject to the podcast.Tim begins by providing his background and how he came to partner with expert clinicians and specialists in healthcare IT to address how we can better identify patients. A pivotal validation came in the form of funding from the National Institute for Health Research to establish Predictive Health Intelligence and create a software and system that works quickly and straightforwardly. He notes that this project is a “combined informatics and clinical program simultaneously,” where the building of new clinical pathways is a key part of their process and aims.  An important idea emerges: instead of waiting for inbound referrals, Tim is focused on how to proactively engage in outreach to those who likely may not come to attention until presenting with decompensated cirrhosis. At this point, the challenge around collecting patient data is acknowledged but explored in more detail later in the conversation. Once approved, the task targets organizing, curating and systematizing this data in a way that enables end users to search for, identify and investigate patterns of blood tests. This approach offers tremendous value in its ability to analyze cumulative results as opposed to deriving insights from a single point in time. By demonstrating area under the curve and introducing trend lines in an easily deployed case-finding search engine, frontline treaters are better equipped to pick up patients. From here, the other panelists inject a series of thought-provoking questions, starting with Jörn's focus on the patient response to this new pathway. Thus far, Tim is pleased to have received positive feedback and expects to conduct a comparative analysis as outreach expands. Jörn next prompts a thorough look into the computational components of this project. Tim explains a key to the system lies in “prepping the data” so that queries can generate cohorts of interest in mere seconds. This is an evolving effort that he works on closely with developers to craft bespoke technological solutions.  Louise asks about what barriers, financial or otherwise, stand in the way of outreach efforts. Tim states that specifically financial barriers are being combatted with economic analysis to demonstrate the massive potential savings NHS can experience by adopting these preventative measures. Discussion segues back to computational power and the integration of assessing for the wider metabolic spectrum. Roger suggests that such a technology can offer an effective optical validity test before he shifts thoughts toward integration with other pathways. As the session continues, Tim fields numerous prompts which delve into patient engagement, elements of data privacy, physician responses, the future of this project and much more. This is yet another eye-catching profile of an innovative technology in the Fatty Liver space contending to solve an immensely relevant challenge.

Dr Pran Yoganathan is a Sydney based Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist who practices and preaches an animal based diet for himself and his patients. During his career he realized that the standard practices alone weren't giving his patients the help that they needed, so he changed the practice to addressing the elephant in the room: nutrition. This has shown huge benefits to both himself, his patients, and his growing family. He was also my teammate in the recent ACNEM Carnivore vs Vegan debate November 2021, link below in Resources if you haven't seen it yet.

Dr Pran Yoganathan is a Sydney based Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist who practices and preaches an animal based diet for himself and his patients. During his career he realized that the standard practices alone weren't giving his patients the help that they needed, so he changed the practice to addressing the elephant in the room: nutrition. This has shown huge benefits to both himself, his patients, and his growing family. He was also my teammate in the recent ACNEM Carnivore vs Vegan debate last November, link below for those who haven't seen it.

You guys! I can not believe we're at our FINAL EPISODE of the season! And for this very special moment, I am thrilled to bring you one of the most notable plant-based gastroenterologists in the world: bestselling author, and public health expert, Dr. Alan Desmond. I get, like, super nerd excited about speaking to docs who are into nutrition. As a dietitian who's worked in digestive health for a decade, I've encountered plenty of gastros who downplay the role that nutrition can have in supporting digestive disease, so it got me wondering: Why do some doctors develop an interest in nutrition as a therapeutic tool while others don't? Find out on our FINAL SHOW of the season! I also want to thank all of you who listened, followed, and subscribed. Thanks for sharing an episode or two, downloading the pod every week, and telling your friends about The Allsorts Podcast! It all adds up and has encouraged us to keep going—so stay tuned: Season 2 will be on its way at the end of the year! About Doctor Alan Desmond: Doctor Alan Desmond is a Consultant Gastroenterologist and bestselling author dedicated to educating the public on the health benefits of a whole-food plant-based diet.

He lives in South Devon with his wife and three children. On this episode we chat about: How Dr. Alan's quest to offer evidence-based answers led him to understand that not all food is equal The two very clear messages Dr. Alan noticed in the research on disease prevention and improvement: unprocess your food and eat more plants! Why processed foods are not designed for human digestive health The science of HOW exactly plants support digestive health Why doctors shouldn't be hostile toward patients with questions about food Why the gut microbiome is the control centre for human biology How a ‘Western style diet' weaponizes our gut microbiome and degrades our digestive The risk factors for developing colorectal cancer: a fibre-deficient diet, red and processed meats, and living under obesity Meals to build a gut microbiome that is conducive to health not disease The evidence for how meat impacts our health Let's normalize passing gas The usefulness of paying attention to what foods cause you discomfort or not, and how to approach eating healthy foods that can cause a lot of gas The truth about fermented foods and probiotics: are they REALLY the wonder ingredients they're being sold as? Poop! What's a normal amount of times we should poop, and what should it look like!? Learned something new? Have questions?
