The Role of Medications: Dr. Cooper breaks down commonly-prescribed medications like Contrave, Qsymia, and Saxenda—explaining their true function in strengthening metabolic pathways rather than merely suppressing cravings.

As a professional who believes that no one should feel pressure to lose weight, I don't want to have anyone see that I have a podcast about this topic and believe I think they should take these meds or be trying to shrink their body. But you know why I was most nervous to have the episode? Because I didn't want my professional colleagues to judge or think less of me. I'm putting this episode out into the world because I believe individuals should not feel shame if they decide to make weight loss medications part of their journey. I also strongly believe that our professional world is split into many different "us versus them" camps, and it's incredibly counterproductive. We all have the same goals, to make our clients or patients feel good and well. What to Expect in this Interview In this interview, we cover: Some of the history of weight loss medication options (and why I likely wouldn't have had an episode like this a few years ago) A brief overview of weight loss medication options available (including a brief overview of non-GLP-1 agonist medications such as Contrave and Orlistat) An overview of the mechanism of action for GLP-1 agonist medications (I get questions about these medications almost weekly lately) Brief review of the risks and benefits from medical and psychological standpoints Ready to Break the Emotional Eating Cycle for Good?

LDN, which stands for low dose naltrexone, can be used to treat various treatments including Hashimoto's thyroiditis. But what is LDN? How does it work? And how do you dose it? We are going to talk about all of these today. LDN is a medication used to treat alcohol addiction but is sometimes used off-label to treat autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. LDN works by blocking opioid receptors. When used at lower doses, it causes a temporary blockage of the receptors which results in a paradoxical increase in endorphins. These endorphins can then help to reduce inflammation and may help reduce pain and balance the immune system. The standard dose of Naltrexone for alcohol addiction is 50mg but when used in off-label for treating autoimmune diseases, the dose is much less. Standard dosing is somewhere between 1.5mg and 4.5mg per day but can go as low as 0.5mg all the way up to 13.5mg. Typically, LDN is very well tolerated and has few side effects. As many as 50% of people notice an improvement while taking LDN, 20% notice a minimal change, 20% notice no change, and up to 10% may feel slightly worse. If you want to get LDN you will need to get a prescription from a compounding pharmacy. Alternatively, you may also be able to find it in other medications such as Contrave (though the dosing does vary). Have you used LDN before? Did it work for you? Let me know in the comments below!

Obesity is a complex disease that affects almost half of all adult Americans. In fact, 42% of the US population is considered obese. Obesity can't be treated with one single method. It requires a holistic approach specific to each patient based on individual needs but generally includes prescription medicine, lifestyle changes, therapy, and sometimes surgery. On this second episode of a two-part series, Patty Post of Checkable Health is back to discuss combating obesity with Physician's Assistant Cody Baxter. In this podcast, PA Baxter describes different medications currently used to treat obesity, including the new and successful class of injectables. As our guest says, "we have to have the intervention meet the intensity of the problem."Along with weight training and exercise, Cody Baxter also talks about the importance of finding the inner strength to accept progress and not strive for unattainable perfection. With mental health issues and shame often intertwined with obesity, it's easy for one wrong decision to cause you to lose hope and slip back into old habits.Body image and self-acceptance are key when battling obesity. Negative feelings and self-talk typically begin in childhood for many people, and the patterns surrounding us as adults are often adopted into our lives. Weight loss management doctors like PA Baxter aim to address these underlying issues that come with battling obesity to help people find a path to a healthier life.This Checkable Health podcast is a must-listen for everyone. Tune in to learn more about obesity and get actionable advice, so you can help break the stigma and find help!

How does Saxenda vs Contrave vs Xenical compare for weight loss? Let's rank Canada's three available weight loss drugs: Saxenda (liraglutide), Contrave (bupropion and naltrexone), Xenical (orlistat) to see which might be best for you.

In this episode, we will build up on our previous Weight loss Pharmacotherapy Episode, episode #13 to discuss updates in guidelines, prevention of obesity from comorbidity standpoint, and new treatment agents for weight-loss with a particular focus on Contrave (naltrexone/bupropion), Saxenda (liraglutide), and Wegovy (semaglutide).

Should you try Contrave or naltrexone/bupropion for weight loss? Here's what you can expect, the side effects, and how to most effectively make use of this weight loss drug if you decide to take it!

These are the top 5 best prescription weight loss medications on the market. These weight loss meds actually work and I've personally used them on many patients with success. I've been helping people lose weight for a long time and over the years I've been able to test many different weight loss medications. I've found that while there are many prescription weight loss medications available, only a handful actually work very well. In this video, I will walk you through the top 5 best prescription weight loss medications available on the market, which ones I prefer to use, what you can expect while using them, how they work, and more. Before you jump in, make sure you understand that while prescription weight loss medications can be very effective, you should never just use them by themselves. If you are serious about weight loss you should combine these weight loss medications with other changes such as adjusting your diet, reducing your stress, exercising daily, and balancing your other hormones. If your plan is to jump on one of these medications and lose a bunch of weight, it's probably not going to happen! But these medications can be very effective if used correctly and if combined with a healthy lifestyle. The top 5 best prescription medications for weight loss include: #1. Saxenda/Victoza Saxenda is FDA approved for weight loss and is probably the single most effective medication on this list. #2. Invokana/Farxiga Invokana and Farxiga are not FDA approved for weight loss but they can help. They work by helping your body eliminate or pee out sugar from your kidneys. #3. Naltrexone Naltrexone is a part of one FDA approved weight loss medication known as Contrave. Naltrexone is not as effective as the others but it is very safe. #4. Metformin Metformin is commonly used to treat diabetes but it does have some weight loss benefits. Don't expect much from metformin though because many people are already taking it. #5. Phentermine Phentermine helps with weight loss by reducing your appetite and increasing up your metabolism. It only works if it is used correctly, however, so don't just jump on it without understanding how to use it.

Episode 61: Semaglutide for Obesity.  Dr Arreaza discusses with Dr Carranza the results of the STEP trials: Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with obesity, which allowed semaglutide gain FDA approval as a treatment for obesity.By Hector Arreaza, MD, and Claudia Carranza, MDThis is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. One of the major challenges of modern medicine is to find an effective treatment for obesity.Obesity was considered a disease in 1998 by the National Institutes of Health[1].In 2002, the Internal Revenue Service, AKA the feared IRS, issued a statement to make obesity treatment a deductible medical expense. Who would have known that obesity was tax deductible?Later, in 2013 obesity was accepted as a complex, chronic disease by the American Medical Association[2]. Many other organizations have made statements in favor or against the definition of obesity as a disease.We recently announced the exciting news of semaglutide as a new FDA-approved medication for the chronic treatment of obesity. Today we want to give you a very brief summary (brief-ísimo) of the trials that allowed semaglutide to gain that FDA-approval. Semaglutide was tested at different levels with the STEP trials. STEP stands for Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with obesity (STEP). All these trials were done in 68 weeks, all patients received counseling about lifestyle modifications, 70-80% were women, ages averaging 40-50 years old.STEP 1: Does semaglutide cause weight loss in patients without diabetes?The focal point of this trial was weight management with semaglutide in patients without diabetes. This was a double-blind trial. There were 1961 participants enrolled. A group was assigned to placebo and another group was assigned to weekly injection of semaglutide. For the semaglutide group, the goal dose of semaglutide was 2.4 mg, starting with 0.25 mg, increasing every 4 weeks: 0.5 -> 1.0 -> 1.7 -> 2.4 (reaching the goal dose in 4 months), 3 out of 4 participants were Caucasians. Outcomes: after 68 weeks weight reduction was -16.9% in patients on semaglutide, more than 86% of participants had a weight loss >5%, 69% lost >10% of their weight, and 50% percent lost >15% of their body weight, and about 32% lost >20% of their weight. This may be comparable to bariatric surgery in some patients; however, the weight loss is not as dramatic. Other parameters improved were waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides. LDL and total cholesterol were not significantly affected. There was a clinical meaningful change in 40% of patients. 7 out of 100 could not complete trial for GI adverse effects, most commonly nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation. Acute pancreatitis presented in 0.2% of the semaglutide group (all recovered during study) vs 0% in the placebo group[3]. STEP 2: Does semaglutide cause weight loss in patients with diabetes? The focal point of this study was weight management with semaglutide in type 2 diabetes mellitus. 1210 patients participated in 12 different countries across Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, South Africa, and Asia. Patients were randomly assigned to semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly, Semaglutide 1 mg weekly, or placebo. Weight loss was superior with semaglutide 2.4 mg, -9.6% of body weight with semaglutide vs -3.4% weight loss with placebo. As you can see, weight loss in individuals with diabetes is more difficult. The effect on diabetes control was about the same with semaglutide 1 mg vs 2.4 mg. The 1 mg dose reduced A1C -1.5%, and the reduction was -1.6% with semaglutide 2.4 mg. A1C reduction was about the same regardless of weight loss. STEP 3: Does Intensive Behavioral Therapy increases weight loss in patients using semaglutide?Intensive behavioral therapy was put to the test. 611 participants were enrolled. Each patient in this study received IBT: 30 brief sessions, 19 in the first 24 weeks, monthly thereafter provided by a registered dietitian. Participants had obesity and overweight, lived in 41 states in the US, had >1 related comorbidity, no diabetes. They all were put on a low-calorie diet for 8 weeks and were randomized to receive either semaglutide or placebo. Weight loss was accelerated by the low-calorie diet and IBT earlier in the study, but at the end there was only 1% difference between the two groups, 17.6% weight loss with IBT vs 16.9% weight loss without IBT. Further research is needed to determine the potential benefits of including a low-carb diet to semaglutide to increase long term weight loss. STEP 4: What happens to weight loss if we stop semaglutide?The focal point of this study was sustained weight management. Patients were randomized to placebo or semaglutide after 20 weeks, but continued lifestyle modificationsThose who remained in semaglutide, continued to lose weight up to 18% (lost 8% additional weight). The placebo arm gained half of their weight back. If you stop the medication weight is likely to come back. Weight loss comparison: Contrave® (bupropion-naltrexone) and Saxenda (liraglutide) ~5% weight loss, Qysimia® (phentermine-topiromate ~9%), semaglutide (Wegovy®) is about 15%. The average weight loss with semaglutide is higher than other meds, including liraglutide, after 1 year of use. Medullary thyroid cancer: Not shown to be increased risk.Newer medications that act on the GLP-1 receptors are showing increased rates of weight loss.• IBT is less important in weight management if a highly effective medication is used to curb appetite•Improved glucose control and CVD risk reduction is achieved when patients have ≥10% weight reduction•Obesity is a complex chronic disease that requires long-term managementCredit: This summary was inspired by Dr Robert F. Kushner, Professor of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinber School of Medicine. Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 62 “Semaglutide for Obesity”. After listening to this episode, we hope you understand the role of semaglutide in the treatment of obesity. Semaglutide has shown to cause weight loss in patient with and without diabetes, and the benefits go beyond weight reduction to include lower blood pressure and triglycerides, among other health markers. Semaglutide is not for everyone, but it can surely be the answer to many of your patients with obesity. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek.

Un nouvel épisode du Pharmascope est maintenant disponible et ce n’est pas une mince affaire

Weight loss medications have always been notorious for the dangers associated with amphetamine-related medications. But it's a new day. There are new medications related to SSRIs, the newer/safer antidepressants. There's Contrave, which uses a combination of Wellbutrin and Naltrexone. Naltrexone is used for narcotic or alcohol addiction. Orlistat is another medication that blocks digestion of fats.For more information, contact us at 859-721-1414 or myhealth@prevmedheartrisk.com.

Diet and exercise are obviously critical to weight loss. But is there a place for medications outside of weight loss clinics?  Yes. Overweight and obesity are major (and growing) causes of heart attack, stroke, and cancer. The easy assumption is that we get fat because we eat too much. But why is there so much weight gain as we get over 50 years old? Understanding this, most of us realize there are endocrine reasons for weight gain. But we often think only of behavior (lifestyle) in relation to treatment of weight gain. As far as medications are concerned, metformin is usually the best first option for the majority of baby boomers with prediabetes or insulin resistance. Saxenda is simply one of the new diabetes drugs; it's used to be Victoza (liraglutide) but renamed for weight loss. Naltrexone is most often given for alcohol and opiate addiction, but genetics do not favor naltrexone in many patients. However, naltrexone combined with buproprion (Wellbutrin) may be as successful in the form of Contrave.For more information, contact us at 859-721-1414 or myhealth@prevmedheartrisk.com.

Welcome back to Slim and Satisfied! Today's episode is a bit different than previous ones as I'll be focusing on a topic I don't talk about frequently – weight loss medications. I realize that for many people, the thought of using medications for weight loss is scary and even upsetting. And I can totally relate to that. Using medications is never my first choice nor do I believe they can work for every person. However, my goal is always to educate, inspire and equip you with knowledge that will help you find the right path to weight loss. Weight loss medications are something you may encounter as you begin the journey (by scrolling social media or speaking to your doctor) and I believe having a good understanding of what they are and how they work is important. I've also been receiving a questions on this topic and also seeing many threads on social media that reflect some confusion – so let's clear things up! Important note: the medications discussed in today's episode are drugs that must be prescribed by a doctor and are not available over the counter, these aren't nutritional supplements. And, since these are prescription drugs and I am not a doctor, what you'll hear from me today is my personal opinion about these meds and what I've learned over the past decade working on and off with clients who used these medications to augment their weight loss efforts as well as with doctors who prescribe them. This information is not meant to replace medical advice. What are weight loss medications? There are 4 relatively new weight loss medications that are have been FDA approved around 2012 for use in weight loss. They are sold under the brand names: Belviq, qsymia, Contrave, and Saxenda. While these medications are all indicated for use in weight loss, they have different mechanisms of action and different ingredients. What's important to know is that they do not cause a weight loss in and of themselves. They simply curb appetite and reduce feelings of intense hunger. This helps individuals control portions and eat less, which aides in weight loss. Who are they for? Weight loss medications can be helpful as a tool for individuals looking to lose weight who are dealing with excessive hunger. They work, for the most part, on reducing activity in parts of the brain that control appetite and desire for food. These medications are not helpful in situations where emotional eating is a major source of overeating. Also, it's important to know that, like many other tools, medications for weight loss only work when they're combined with a healthy eating plan. This episode will help you understand the specific situations where medications can be helpful, what results you can expect and how to prevent weight regain once you wean off the medication. What you'll learn in this episode: If and when would it be appropriate to think about adding a medication to your routine. The specific ways weight loss medications can aide weight loss. What are the typical weight loss results as well common side effects How my clients made medications work while they establish healthier habits for life Make sure to head on over to Instagram and say Hi!

Weight loss medications are something you may encounter as you begin the journey (by scrolling social media or speaking to your doctor) and I believe having a good understanding of what they are and how they work is important.  I’ve also been receiving a questions on this topic and also seeing many threads on social media that reflect some confusion – so let’s clear things up!  Important note: the medications discussed in today’s episode are drugs that must be prescribed by a doctor and are not available over the counter, these aren’t nutritional supplements. And, since these are prescription drugs and I am not a doctor, what you’ll hear from me today is my personal opinion about these meds and what I’ve learned over the past decade working on and off with clients who used these medications to augment their weight loss efforts as well as with doctors who prescribe them. This information is not meant to replace medical advice. What are weight loss medications? There are 4 relatively new weight loss medications that are have been FDA approved around 2012 for use in weight loss. They are sold under the brand names: Belviq, qsymia, Contrave, and Saxenda. While these medications are all indicated for use in weight loss, they have different mechanisms of action and different ingredients. What’s important to know is that they do not cause a weight loss in and of themselves. They simply curb appetite and reduce feelings of intense hunger. This helps individuals control portions and eat less, which aides in weight loss. Who are they for? Weight loss medications can be helpful as a tool for individuals looking to lose weight who are dealing with excessive hunger. They work, for the most part, on reducing activity in parts of the brain that control appetite and desire for food. These medications are not helpful in situations where emotional eating is a major source of overeating. Also, it’s important to know that, like many other tools, medications for weight loss only work when they’re combined with a healthy eating plan.  This episode will help you understand the specific situations where medications can be helpful, what results you can expect and how to prevent weight regain once you wean off the medication.   What you’ll learn in this episode: If and when would it be appropriate to think about adding a medication to your routine. The specific ways weight loss medications can aide weight loss. What are the typical weight loss results as well common side effects How my clients made medications work while they establish healthier habits for life Make sure to head on over to Instagram and say Hi!

Winning regulatory approval for a drug to treat obesity would seem like a great accomplishment, but for Orexigen Therapeutics, that's when the hard work began. After its marketing partner Takeda ended their agreement because of disappointing sales, the company found itself in the position of having to market a drug to doctors who often don't consider obesity an illness and believe willpower and discipline, not a pill, is what's needed. Orexigen's solution centered on a novel approach. The company decided to make a pitch directly to patients and connect them to telehealth-based doctors, who could ensure use of the drug is appropriate and help them avoid the embarrassment they may feel when speaking to their own doctors. We spoke to Thomas Cannell, Chief Operating Officer and President of Global Commercial Products for Orexigen, about its obesity drug Contrave, its marketing strategy, and whether it represents a marketing model that others may follow.

Contrave is a newer weight loss medication that can be used to help certain people lose weight. Should you use it? Not necessarily, contrave is an "okay" weight loss medication but there are definitely better ones out there. I use Contrave in my weight loss practice to help patients with the following conditions: - Those with body set point malfunction. - Those with insulin resistance. - Those with thyroid problems. - Patients with binge eating disorder or other eating disorders. - Patients with autoimmune diseases. - And lastly, patients with chronic pain. If you fall into any of these categories then Contrave may be helpful for you. You need to also understand exactly how Contrave helps with weight loss because each person has different issues that need to be addressed for lasting weight loss.
