"Doc, do I need to take this forever?" It's one of the most common questions I hear in my office, whether it's someone's very first visit or someone who's already lost 30, 40, even 80 pounds and is feeling great. In this episode, I break down why your body fights so hard to regain weight after you lose it, and why that's biology, not failure. I walk through the new ATTAIN Maintain trial, a study of 376 adults who had already lost significant weight on tirzepatide or semaglutide, testing whether switching to an easier once-daily oral GLP-1 could help them keep the weight off, instead of just asking whether stopping medication causes regain. Maintenance isn't about staying on one medication forever. It's about having an individualized, active plan, and the ATTAIN Maintain data gives us more options than ever to build one. Episode Highlights: Why your metabolism and hunger hormones fight to reverse weight loss Lessons from the SURMOUNT-4 trial on what happens when treatment stops completely Inside the ATTAIN Maintain trial design and who was studied The weight maintenance results: oral medication vs. placebo Why maintenance therapy doesn't have to look like the treatment that got you there What actually goes into a sustainable long-term plan beyond medication Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Kushner And Witkoff_ Diplomats Or Shady _Deal-Makers__ by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Geschichtspolitik ist ein Fundament der Ideologie Wladimir Putins. Der russische Herrscher begründete den Überfall auf die Ukraine mit dem angeblichen Betrug des Westens an Russland – und mit der Vergangenheit. Die Geschichte Russlands lässt er systematisch umschreiben. Rüdiger von Fritsch hat als ehemaliger deutscher Botschafter in Moskau erlebt, wie Putin Geschichtspolitik betreibt. Gleichzeitig hat er sich mit der Vergangenheit seiner eigenen Familie auseinandergesetzt: Sein Vater trat früh der NSDAP bei, war an der deutschen Besatzung Litauens beteiligt und hielt bis zu seinem Tod an seinen Überzeugungen fest. In diesem »Ostcast« sprechen Alice Bota und Michael Thumann mit Rüdiger von Fritsch über den Umgang mit der deutschen Vergangenheit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. In seinem Buch »Die Geschichte in mir« beschreibt von Fritsch die schwierige Auseinandersetzung mit seinem Nazi-Vater und erzählt, wie sie seine Arbeit als Diplomat in Polen und Russland geprägt hat. Was bedeutet es, wenn Geschichte nicht aufgearbeitet wird? Welche Verantwortung ergibt sich daraus für Deutschland? Welche Rolle spielen historische Schuld und Verantwortung im Verhältnis zu Russland, der Ukraine und Belarus? Und wie können wir damit umgehen, wenn Wladimir Putin mit seiner Geschichtspropaganda die deutsche Gesellschaft verunsichert? Alle drei Wochen sprechen wir im »Ostcast« über Politik und Gesellschaft der osteuropäischen Länder. Alice Bota berichtet von ihren Gesprächen und Erfahrungen in Osteuropa, Michael Thumann erzählt von seinen Begegnungen und Reisen in Russland und den Nachbarländern. Literatur: - Rüdiger von Fritsch: »Die Geschichte in mir. Eine deutsche Familie im 20. Jahrhundert«. Siedler Verlag, 2026. - Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe: »Stepan Bandera. Leben und Kult«.

The Roundtable Panel: a daily open discussion of issues in the news and beyond. Today's panelists are public policy and communications expert - Theresa Bourgeois, Dean of the College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity at the University at Albany Bob Griffin, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute Robert Pondiscio, and Diplomat in Residence at Bard College. She retired from the U.S. Foreign Service in 2025 after over 30 years in public service. Her last post was ambassador to the SE Asian country, Timor-Leste Donna Welton.

Rüdiger von Fritsch blickt zurück auf eine jahrzehntelange Erfahrung in der internationalen Politik. Jetzt hat er sich mit der eigenen Familiengeschichte auseinandergesetzt. Seine provokante These: mein Vater war ein überzeugter Nazi - und ein liebenswürdiger Vater. Im Gespräch ordnet er außerdem aktuelle weltpolitische Entwicklungen verständlich und pointiert ein. Ein Gespräch über Verantwortung, Krisen und die Kunst der Diplomatie - auch innerhalb der eigenen Familie.

If you've seen headlines linking Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications to sudden eye strokes, I want to stop the panic right here.  In this episode, I break down what the research on NAION actually shows, who's really at risk, and why the scary relative-risk numbers you're seeing online don't tell the whole story. I walk you through what NAION is, why patients on semaglutide often already carry the underlying risk factors that get left out of the clickbait, and what the difference is between an observational study raising a signal and a randomized trial proving cause and effect. I also share the warning signs that mean you should go to the ER immediately, not wait for your next appointment. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to think about this headline, what questions to bring to your own doctor, and why staying on your medication is usually the right call. Episode Highlights: What NAION is and how it affects the optic nerve The risk factors patients on GLP-1s often already have What the 37-million-person study actually found — and didn't Why randomized trials tell a different story than observational data Absolute risk vs. relative risk, explained simply Warning signs that mean go to the ER now Why sleep apnea complicates the whole picture Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

I hear this from so many of my patients: "Dr. Shelly, I haven't changed anything—not my diet, not my exercise—but I'm gaining weight and my body just doesn't respond the way it used to." If you're a woman in your 40s or 50s, you're probably nodding right now. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly why menopause causes weight gain, why it has nothing to do with willpower, and what breakthrough new research reveals about Foundayo—an oral GLP-1 medication—and how it helps restore the biological signals that become harder to access during this life stage.  I'm sharing real data from the 2026 American Diabetes Association Scientific Conference, including results from the ATTAIN 1 and ATTAIN 2 clinical trials that show meaningful weight loss across all menopausal stages.  But here's what matters most: the goal during menopause isn't just weight loss—it's aging healthy. You'll learn exactly what that looks like and what you need to focus on right now. Episode Highlights: What menopause actually is ( How estrogen decline drives abdominal fat storage and insulin resistance Why muscle loss and poor sleep compound weight gain How GLP-1 medications work—and what they don't do The ATTAIN trials: weight loss results before, during, and after menopause Strength training, protein intake, and the non-negotiables for sustainable results REFERENCES: Menopausal Stage and Weight Outcomes with Orforglipron vs. Placebo: Post Hoc Subgroup Analysis from ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2.

Today's Headlines: Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for over a week with his office offering nothing beyond "he's still working closely with staff." Meanwhile, JD Vance called the Iran talks a "classic Trump deal" while the administration temporarily lifted oil sanctions letting Iran sell oil in US dollars for the first time since 2018 — when Trump blew up the original deal — with Iran saying they made "no new commitments," the Strait of Hormuz status depends entirely on who you ask, and Vance gets visibly snubbed by Iran's foreign minister during a photo op. Trump responded to New York Times war coverage by threatening to add their reporting to his $15 billion defamation lawsuit and calling them treasonous, which is bold from someone whose last Times lawsuit was thrown out within days. The administration is threatening to withhold a billion dollars in homeland security funding from states unless they overhaul their election laws — paper ballots, federal audits, administration-preferred voter databases, all at state expense — which is unconstitutional and headed straight for court, while a George W. Bush-appointed judge blocked DOJ subpoenas targeting Tim Walz and other Minnesota officials, finding "overwhelming" evidence they were issued purely to harass political opponents. Jeanine Pirro is threatening to prosecute anyone caught "vandalizing" the reflecting pool, at least five people have been federally cited for being near it, and Trump claimed someone made a 350-foot gash in a pool he simultaneously described as uncuttable. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned — the country's seventh prime minister in ten years, right on Brexit's tenth anniversary — with Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham as frontrunner to replace him, while researchers found Elon Musk played an "instrumental" role in inciting Belfast's anti-immigrant riots by generating over half of 115 million views driving the unrest, prompting England and Wales's attorney general to ban his office from using X. Finally, Tucker Carlson announced he's done with the Republican Party and won't support them in the midterms.  Resources/Articles mentioned: WAVE: Kentucky Sen.

The weekend headlines lied again. The “peace deal” or “memorandum of understanding” with Iran was always goyslop. Strait of Hormuz “wide open”? Fake. JD Vance and the Trump administration “breaking from Israel”? Even bigger fake. By the end of the weekend the Strait was closed again and the Iranians stormed out of talks in Switzerland after Trump threatened to assassinate their diplomats. The AI surveillance state isn't coming — it's already here, and they're using your tax dollars to build it at hyper speed. Trump came back into office and immediately unleashed Big Tech instead of reining it in. Hope Beryl-Green joins Stew Peters 6/23 to share her story of survival, healing, and advocacy for victims who have suffered in silence.

A patient asked me this recently: "Dr. Shelley, I've heard that GLP-1 medications can cause muscle loss. Does that mean they can hurt my bones too?" It's an excellent question—and one we don't talk about nearly enough. In this episode, I'm walking you through what the research actually shows about GLP-1 medications and bone health, why weight loss itself poses a different risk to your skeleton, and the five non-negotiable steps you need to take to protect your bones while losing weight. This is the bone health conversation you need to hear before—or while—taking a GLP-1. Episode Highlights: What GLP-1 medications are and how they work in your body Does GLP-1 directly damage bones? What the research says The real issue: weight loss and how it affects bone health How your bones stay strong and why muscle matters Muscle loss during weight loss on GLP-1s (body composition breakdown) Who's at higher risk for weak bones and should be monitoring Eat enough protein: how much you actually need Strength training and resistance exercises for bone protection Getting enough calcium and vitamin D The DEXA bone density scan and when you should ask for one Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.
