Send a textWhat happens when weight loss becomes… easy?In this candid conversation, I sit down with a fellow therapist and friend Lucy Cavendish who has been taking Mounjaro (a GLP-1 medication) and has experienced significant weight loss. We explore the undeniable benefits of these injections — reduced appetite, quieter food noise, and the relief of finally seeing the scale move.But we don't stop there, we ask the deeper questions:What role did emotional triggers play in the weight gain to begin with?What happens when the injections stop?Can changing your body change how you feel about yourself?And how do we prevent old coping mechanisms from creeping back in?This episode isn't anti-medication. It's about integration.GLP-1s like Mounjaro can be powerful tools. But sustainable change often requires understanding the story behind the weight — the stress, grief, trauma, burnout, habits, identity shifts — and making sure those triggers aren't waiting quietly in the background.If you're considering these injections, currently taking them, or navigating weight loss while working on your relationship with food and your body, this episode will help you think beyond the scale.Because sometimes losing weight is the easy part.Understanding it is the real work.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe

An advert shown during this year's Super Bowl has prompted a backlash on social media. In the ad, tennis champion Serena Williams promotes a weight loss injection, saying she is "healthier" thanks to the product. Many fans have expressed disappointment that a woman associated with strength and body positivity, is now selling being thinner as the ideal. So, is body positivity out and fat shaming back? In our conversations, we discuss the cultural pressure to lose weight now these drugs, known as GLP-1s, are widely available. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from BBC OS Conversations, bringing together people from around the world to discuss how major news stories are affecting their lives.

Send a textThe biology of fat tissue, estrogen's role in metabolism and health, and how exercise interacts with these processes, especially during menopause.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Adipose tissue basics: White fat primarily stores energy in large lipid droplets, while brown fat burns fatty acids for heat via high mitochondrial density; white fat can “brown” with exercise or certain foods like capsaicin.Fat distribution & health: Subcutaneous fat (under skin) is more insulin-sensitive and less problematic than visceral fat (around organs), which links to metabolic issues; females store more subcutaneously pre-menopause, shifting to visceral post-menopause.Estrogen signaling: Estradiol binds nuclear and membrane receptors to regulate gene expression and mitochondrial function; it enhances insulin sensitivity and browning in fat cells, with receptors like ER-alpha feminizing fat distribution.Fat storage: Fat cells enlarge (hypertrophy) more than multiply in obesity, leading to hypoxia, inflammation, and insulin resistance; excess fatty acids spill to liver and muscle, worsening metabolic dysfunction.Menopause effects: Estrogen drop causes visceral fat gain, reduced energy expenditure, insulin resistance, and higher metabolic disease risk; symptoms include hot flashes and reduced exercise motivation, modeled in rodents via ovary removal.Exercise & estrogen links: Exercise boosts estrogen receptor expression and mitochondrial density in fat, mimicking estrogen's browning effects; synergism may explain reduced exercise responsiveness post-menopause.Brain-fat connections: Estrogen in the nucleus accumbens influences exercise motivation and fat browning; manipulations there alter running behavior and adipose metabolism in rodents.ABOUT THE GUEST: Victoria Vieira-Potter, PhD leads a lab at the University of Missouri, studying how estrogen and exercise influence adipose cells.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 174 | Adipose Tissue & Body Fat: Obesity, Insulin, Leptin, Fertility, Weight Loss & GLP-1 Drugs | Sean HartigSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince break down a packed week in the MAHA world, starting with RFK Jr.'s headline-making appearance on Theo Von's podcast. From his blunt comments about COVID fear to a deep dive into fluoride and its documented IQ impacts, the conversation sparks major debate around public health narratives. The hosts also explore the growing national battle over glyphosate, including new discussions out of Florida about its potential effects on the blood-brain barrier and mounting pressure against its continued use. They analyze viral claims about global cancer “cures,” separating hype from reality, and unpack new developments in healthcare fraud investigations. On the pharma front, MAHA News examines the DOJ referral involving Hims & Hers over compounded semaglutide products, the broader crackdown on peptides, and the cultural explosion of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic. The episode closes with an honest conversation about biohacking, peptide trends, and the risks of chasing quick fixes in the name of health optimization.

Magnum Ice Cream reported its first full-year results since its December demerger from Unilever, but posted a disappointing 3% drop in sales volumes in the fourth quarter but is it down to the widespread use of GLP-1 drugs? AJ Bell's Investment Director, Russ Mould joins Bobby to discuss.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we dive into the latest news and updates on Ozempic, from its medical uses to its effects on lifestyle and health.Ozempic, containing semaglutide, mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 to release insulin, steady blood sugar, slow digestion, and curb appetite, helping listeners feel full longer. GoodRx reports that studies show people on Ozempic lose six to seven percent of body weight, while Wegovy users average fifteen percent.Recent Cochrane reviews commissioned by the World Health Organization, released February eleventh, twenty twenty-six, confirm GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic deliver meaningful weight loss. Semaglutide leads to about eleven percent reduction after six to seventeen months, with benefits lasting up to two years if continued. Tirzepatide in Mounjaro and Zepbound shows even higher losses around sixteen percent, though more research is needed. Liraglutide offers four to five percent loss.Real-world evidence from Applied Clinical Trials highlights heterogeneous results, typically four to twelve percent loss at six to twelve months. For a twelve percent drop, the drug accounts for sixty-three percent, with context like persistence, lifestyle, and care making up thirty-seven percent. Improving persistence could boost outcomes further.Many hit an Ozempic plateau after twelve months, per GoodRx. Factors include dose, timing, diet, exercise, stress, and other meds like sulfonylureas or antidepressants. Pair it with avoiding fried foods, high-fat items, sugary drinks, and ultra-processed foods for best results.Rutgers Health research in the Journal of Medical Internet Research finds sixty-seven percent of users report weight loss or less appetite despite side effects like nausea, prioritizing effectiveness to keep going. However, stopping leads to regain, though half maintain some loss after a year.Watch for Ozempic face, gauntness from facial fat loss, as noted in a PMC study, so discuss screening and diet with doctors.These updates show Ozempic transforms lives when combined with healthy habits, but long-term independent data is key.Thank you listeners for tuning in.

Recent news highlights ongoing developments in weight loss treatments like Ozempic, with fresh insights from clinical reviews and patient experiences. On February 11, 2026, Cochrane reviews commissioned by the World Health Organization analyzed GLP-1 drugs including semaglutide, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy. These studies, drawing from dozens of trials with tens of thousands of participants, show semaglutide leads to an average weight loss of about 11 percent after six to 18 months when paired with diet and exercise. Tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound, achieved around 16 percent loss in similar periods. Researchers note these benefits persist during treatment but emphasize limited long-term safety data, common side effects like nausea, and heavy industry funding in most trials. Cochrane reports highlight the need for independent studies on heart health, quality of life, and global access, as high costs limit use in lower-income regions.A Rutgers Health study published this week in the Journal of Medical Internet Research examined why Ozempic users stick with it despite side effects. Analyzing online reviews, researchers found perceived effectiveness in curbing appetite and shedding pounds outweighs issues like stomach upset for most. Lead author Abanoub Armanious noted that everyday users prioritize real results over hype from celebrities or social media. Separately, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers reported on February 11 that GLP-1 drugs like tirzepatide may lower risks of diabetic retinopathy progression in diabetes patients, countering earlier concerns.Oprah Winfrey continues to speak openly about her GLP-1 use, as covered in recent AOL articles. The media icon, who lost about 50 pounds starting in 2023 but regained 20 after briefly stopping, now views these medications as a lifelong tool like blood pressure drugs. Promoting her book Enough, Winfrey shared on The View and her podcast that the drugs silenced constant food thoughts, freeing her from self-blame. She told listeners obesity is not a willpower failure but a brain-driven condition, urging others to seek medical options without shame. Winfrey, who covers costs for friends, also noted reduced alcohol cravings as a bonus.Meanwhile, excitement builds around Eli Lillys oral pill orforglipron, an injectable-free alternative to Ozempic. Phase 3 trials like ATTAIN-1 showed 12.4 percent average weight loss over 72 weeks, with many maintaining results after switching from shots. Walk In reports it could launch in Canada soon, offering daily convenience without fasting, though generics of semaglutide arrive mid-2026 for affordability.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

Am 8. März findet die Abstimmung über die Individualbesteuerung statt. Damit entscheidet das Stimmvolk, ob verheiratete Personen in Zukunft separat besteuert werden sollen. Ist die Vorlage der richtige Weg zur Abschaffung der «Heiratsstrafe» oder schafft sie nur neue Ungerechtigkeiten? Verheiratete Paare sollen künftig einzeln eine Steuererklärung ausfüllen und separat besteuert werden – das will das Bundesgesetz über die Individualbesteuerung. Bei einer Annahme der Vorlage wäre der Steuertarif für alle Personen gleich, unabhängig davon, ob sie verheiratet sind oder im Konkubinat leben. Die viel thematisierte «Heiratsstrafe» würde abgeschafft. Zur Entlastung von Familien ist in der Vorlage vorgesehen, dass der Kinderabzug bei der direkten Bundessteuer von aktuell 6'800 auf künftig 12'000 Franken erhöht wird. Die Vorlage hätte finanzielle Folgen für den Bund: Er würde jährlich 630 Mio. Franken weniger an Steuern einnehmen. Mögliche Gewinner und Verlierer der Reform Der Bundesrat und das Parlament sowie die SP, FDP, Grünen und GLP stehen hinter der Vorlage. Laut dem Pro-Lager beseitige die Steuerreform die Benachteiligung verheirateter Paare aufgrund ihres Zivilstands. Zudem fördere sie die Gleichstellung, indem sie zur Unabhängigkeit beider Partner beitrage und es für Zweitverdienende, oft Frauen, attraktiver werde, mehr zu arbeiten. Die SVP, Die Mitte, die EVP, die EDU sowie eine klare Mehrheit von 21 Kantonen lehnen die Vorlage ab, da sie neue Ungerechtigkeiten schaffe. Die SVP kritisiert, dass die Vorlage traditionelle Familienmodelle benachteilige, weil Einverdiener-Ehen mit der Individualbesteuerung mehr bezahlen als Doppelverdiener-Ehen. Die Gegner warnen weiter vor einem Bürokratieaufwand, weil Steuerverwaltungen jährlich ca. 1,7 Millionen zusätzliche Steuererklärungen prüfen müssten. Ist die Individualbesteuerung der richtige Weg, um die Heiratsstrafe abzuschaffen? Oder werden damit neue Ungerechtigkeiten und Mehraufwände geschaffen? Sandro Brotz begrüsst am 13. Februar 2026 in der «Abstimmungs-Arena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der Vorlage: – Karin Keller-Sutter, Bundesrätin und Vorsteherin Finanzdepartement; – Eva Herzog, Ständerätin SP/BS; und – Hanspeter Hilfiker, Präsident Städteverband. Gegen die Vorlage treten an: – Philipp Matthias Bregy, Präsident Die Mitte; – Esther Friedli, Ständerätin SVP/SG; und – Cornelia Stamm Hurter, Mitglied Vorstand Finanzdirektorenkonferenz.

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and emerging GLP-3 drugs are changing weight loss and metabolic health — but what happens when side effects start showing up? In this episode, Liz & Becca break down the real causes behind common GLP-1 side effects including digestive issues, diarrhea, constipation, sleep disruption, blood sugar crashes, body odor changes, microbiome shifts, bile flow dysfunction, and detox overload. You'll learn why GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, how they impact bile flow and estrogen clearance, why some people experience microbiome imbalance or SIBO-like symptoms, and how foundational health (liver, gut, electrolytes, protein intake, muscle mass) determines whether GLP-1 works for you or against you. If you're using GLP-1s, considering them, or struggling with side effects — this episode gives you a functional medicine roadmap for safer, smarter use. *** CONNECT:

Is there a built-in "fat switch" in our genes—something nature designed to help us store fat for survival? And if so, what does that mean for food addicts living in a world saturated with ultra-processed food? In this episode, Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with Dr. Richard Johnson, Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado, former Chief of the Division of Renal Diseases and Hypertension, author of The Sugar Fix, The Fat Switch, and Nature Wants Us to Be Fat, and a researcher with 700+ scientific papers to his name. Dr. Johnson explains how fructose (from sugar and high-fructose corn syrup—but also produced inside the body under certain conditions) can activate a powerful metabolic pathway that increases hunger, lowers cellular energy, and shifts calories toward fat storage. He connects this to uric acid, salt, high-glycemic carbohydrates, and the modern "perfect storm" of ultra-processed foods engineered to intensify cravings. Together, they explore the evolutionary logic of fat storage, why visceral fat may have had survival value, why "calories in/calories out" fails to explain the whole picture, and what practical steps can help people restore metabolic flexibility—including carbohydrate reduction, movement that supports mitochondrial health, and the emerging role of GLP-1 medications as a tool (not a replacement) for nutrition change.

A few recent media pieces have us wondering if the GLP-1 backlash is finally beginning, and if so, why is all of the coverage still so anti-fat?VirginiaWe're going to use two primary texts for this conversation, but I also want us to talk more generally about how we're seeing the conversation shift, because I feel like there's been an amorphous shift.CorinneI think the initial craze has died down and we're starting to see a more nuanced conversation.VirginiaWhich in many ways is good. There's more nuance on both sides, but there's still a lot of harm being done in the way the media is framing this conversation.CorinneFor sure. VirginiaExhibit A on that front is a piece by Dani Blum that ran on January 15 in the New York Times. The headline is The Hard Truth of Weight-Loss Drugs: You Probably Need Them Forever. Corinne what is your immediate first reaction to that headline?CorinneNo shit, Sherlock. Why were people confused about this?VirginiaI guess people were. It seemed obvious that if a drug makes you lose weight, and you go off the drug, you won't continue to lose the weight.CorinneUnfortunately, except for maybe antibiotics, that seems to be how drugs work. You have to stay on them.VirginiaThere's a lot that comes up for me in this piece. It's looking at new research, bringing to light the fact that when people go off the weight loss drugs, which many people do because they can't tolerate the side effects and it's too expensive, they just get tired of it. There are lots of reasons that people fatigue about being on a weekly injection drug. They're seeing now that people regain the weight. This is being framed as a grave disappointment and a surprise in the article.CorinneNot to me, but to Oprah.VirginiaOprah particularly. Oprah was surprised. They referenced the fact that even Oprah said that she had stopped taking a weight loss drug cold-turkey for a year and then gained back 20 pounds. "I tried to beat the medication," she told People Magazine. It was then she realized it's going to be a lifetime thing. Brilliant marketing for Weight Watchers, Oprah. She thought she could go off it, but you can't. You should be on it forever. So buy your GLP-1s from Weight Watchers. Of course she wants us to be on it forever. She has a business incentive to make that work. It gets into ableism. Why is it problematic to be on a medication for the rest of your life? I have asthma. I expect to use an inhaler to manage that for the rest of my life. I have sleep apnea. I expect to use a CPAP for the rest of my life. Most people with mental health conditions expect to be on an SSRI for the rest of their life. Why is that a problem?CorinneI think there's something about human nature where people think, I don't want to be on a medication for the rest of my life. I've heard so many people say that.VirginiaOften it's the main resistance to starting a medication. Why? What is it about that that makes us sad?CorinneWe want to believe that we're strong and independent and don't need pills to make us ok.VirginiaYou and I are going to wear glasses for the rest of our lives.CorinneI am extremely screwed. So many medications, so many glasses.VirginiaIf the zombie apocalypse comes, I'm out in the first week because if they break my glasses or I lose an inhaler, I'm sorry, I'm not going to try that hard to survive. Even my acid reflux medication - I don't have debilitating acid reflux - but it's irritating. I would be out.CorinneSame. VirginiaTake me now. CorinneI take multiple medications every single day that I would be lost, if not dead, without.VirginiaI don't understand the aversion to that because it's great that I get to breathe through the help of medication. I'm a big fan.CorinneI think what you're hinting at is it's ableism.VirginiaIt's ableism. We want to believe we can overcome these challenges. We see it especially in conditions that are weight linked in any way. This is why people get told to diet before starting a blood pressure or cholesterol medication when those drugs work really well to manage those conditions ... Corinne... and diets don't.VirginiaAnd diets tend to not do so. Is it such a moral failing to have to go on a statin? I don't think so.CorinneThe other thing they're not talking about directly is - and we've talked about this before - that studies show people who take these drugs for conditions like diabetes and/or insulin resistance, don't tend to stay on them long-term because they're hard drugs to be on. VirginiaYeah.CorinneThis article is so sad for people who got to lose weight on these because they will have to be on them forever if they want to "keep the weight off." It's also sad for people who need to take them to manage chronic conditions. These drugs suck in a lot of ways and people don't want to be on them.VirginiaThat's a valid reason to think, I don't want to be on a drug for the rest of my life if it's giving me terrible side effects. My inhalers don't give me terrible side effects. I just like breathing and want to do it all the time. I'm an oxygen addict. If it's a medication that's giving you side effects, I understand not wanting to be on it for life. For folks who are pursuing this just for weight loss, independent of metabolic health, maybe that's a reason to reflect on whether you need to do that. It is a depressing thing to say, "I will be on a medication that gives me diarrhea, fatigue or whatever side effects, but at least I can be a smaller size." That feels like something to reflect on. That reflection is nowhere in this article, however.CorinneThe article doesn't mention side effects at all, does it? VirginiaIt mentions that it's why a lot of people in the studies are going off the drugs. It's this Catch-22 where they're saying, Oh, people are saying, wow, it's so expensive, or, wow, I have terrible side effects, so I go off it. Then they're framing it like those people were quitters. That they gave up. On the other hand, some of this aversion around "you wouldn't want to be on this medication for the rest of your life" is another layer of anti-fatness. The message is we shouldn't let fat people get away with thinness this way. We don't want them passing for thin because they can stay on a GLP-1 forever. We want them to do the "real work" of weight loss.The idea that you could only achieve weight loss by staying on the medication forever makes the weight loss feel fake to people. It's interesting because all intentional weight loss is fake to some extent. It's all manipulating your body in a direction it doesn't naturally want to go in. So why do we penalize medication-based weight loss versus excessive-running-based weight loss?There's also a nice shout-out to RFK, Jr., who also thought the drugs would just be a short-term fix for people and then we'd go back to eating beef tallow to stay thin. Turns out that's not science, but I don't think we're surprised he's not science. Another flavor of anti-fatness in this piece is the casual normalization that you could do this the old fashioned way. In talking about folks who are able to lose the weight even after they go off, the article says:It's not impossible, but it is extremely difficult. Dr Hauser estimates that fewer than 10% of her patients have successfully kept off 75% or more of the weight they lost after going on a GLP-1 without turning to another weight loss medication or undergoing bariatric surgery. "Those are the people that are working out two hours a day, tracking what they eat. They're working really hard," she said. "I haven't had anyone that just tapers off and isn't really putting that much thought into it and just keeps the weight off. I've never seen that happen."That's just casual normalization of eating disorder behavior. Working out two hours a day and tracking what you eat is not a normal way to live.CorinneThe choice is either drugs or an eating disorder.VirginiaThat's not interrogated by this piece, or in any of the discourse I've seen around the whole idea that you have to be on it forever. It's either you have to be on it forever, or we expect you to do this the old fashioned way, like a good fat person would.CorinneIt's also getting into the Rosey Beeme of it all. She lost some weight with a GLP-1 and then was like, Well, I guess weight loss surgery is the way to go here.VirginiaRight, to continue her health journey. I haven't checked on her in a while. Do you know how that's all going?CorinneNo, I don't and I don't honestly want to know. I just think that will become a more common storyline where people are saying, I didn't want to stay on this drug. It didn't lead to permanent weight loss, but maybe bariatric surgery will.VirginiaWell, that's depressing.CorinneSpeaking of influencers, the second article that we wanted to discuss today ran at the beginning of January in Vulture. It's titled ‘Less People Click If You're a Size 16' How plus-size influencers are faring in a GLP-1 world.VirginiaThis one is paywalled. CorinneI'm glad we're talking about this article because I saw so many people whispering about it on social media before I saw it, and then I saw a lot of folks sharing it. The gist of it is that plus-size influencers are not making as much money as before. They're not getting as many brand deals, etc.VirginiaThey're not getting brand deals from fashion brands and other lifestyle brands, which was interesting to me. The plus-size mom influencers, brands don't want them to show the car seat or the stroller anymore.CorinneI think a lot of plus-size influencers would make money from beauty skincare deals. That seems to be where a lot of the marketing money is. Even that area is slowing.VirginiaThe article talks about how one explanation, in addition to the rise of GLP-1s, is the rise of the tradwife aesthetic. An influencer named Joanna Spicer is interviewed quite a bit in the piece. She says:People in the industry, according to Spicer, are “afraid to say anything. It's being danced around. I've been told that I don't fit the criteria to work with the brand because they're more into the tradwife aesthetic. I'm like, ‘Got it.'”With the tradwife aesthetic, a baseline of thin is a given, right? They're all willowy thin blondes like Ballerina Farm. It's interesting that it's not just thin, but the whole Little House On the Prairie conservative fundamentalist perspective. That's what is trending right now. CorinneIt's very depressing. I like Joanna Spicer and that is not her aesthetic. There are plus-size influencers that lean more in that direction who are also suffering.VirginiaBecause they're not leaning enough in that direction.CorinneThey're not living on farms in Utah. I also thought an interesting part of this was her saying that it's being danced around, that no one's straight up saying what's going on.VirginiaOn the flip side, we've also seen (and reported on) a lot of plus-size influencers becoming not plus-size, or attempting to become not plus-size by sharing their GLP-1 journey. While we've had valid criticisms of the way Rosey Beeme and others have articulated those journeys by using a lot of anti-fat rhetoric, I do understand that when you've made your body your business, and now the business is changing, you feel a lot of pressure to change your body to keep up with things.CorinneThis article doesn't mention it, but there have been a couple of brands recently announcing they're not going to make plus sizes anymore, one of which is Christy Dawn, which is a big tradwife aesthetic brand.VirginiaI never did get a Christy Dawn prairie dress while they made them in my size. Now I guess I never will.CorinneI did try one once. It's really not my aesthetic, but it didn't seem nice.VirginiaI kind of wish you had photos. I really can't picture you in a tradwife dress.CorinneI put it on and was horrified.VirginiaYou had a reaction to that like I have to those boiler suit jumpsuits where I feel trapped, have a panic attack and I can't get them off.CorinneThere was too much shoulder. I didn't like it.VirginiaIt's the whole milkmaid thing.CorinneI like my shoulders covered.VirginiaYeah, not your aesthetic. All of this tradwife aesthetic taking over influencer culture and who's getting brand deals also very much ties into how much this is driven by the political climate right now, which is obviously a dumpster fire. Here is another excerpt from the piece:One vice president and an influencer marketing agency who asked to remain anonymous, said that while they haven't seen brands explicitly push back against working with plus-size creators. They are far more hesitant to sponsor any creator who gets even remotely political. What is acceptable now politically may not be in the future, and to avoid any issues, they don't want any voices that are not controlled internally from their side, he said.That made me wonder if fat influencers are more likely to be left wing and progressive than thin influencers. We don't have any data, but my instinct is yes.CorinneThey're probably more likely to be outspoken about size inclusivity, at least.VirginiaPeople think fat liberation is not political or it's not considered part of political action, and it is part of it. They also wrote:"The trend to move away from plus-size clothing aligns with the trend to move away from DEI. It's all related,” says Monica Corbin, a stylist at a plus-size fashion brand. “We had this big explosion during COVID around inclusivity, and I just think there's been the biggest backlash."So what's happening in influencer culture is just a microcosm of our whole country right now?CorinneThere is a part of this article that was so sad. Joanna Spicer was talking about how not being able to get work in your area of expertise makes you feel like a loser. That it's demoralizing and you feel like you've done something wrong. And you don't want to speak out about it because you don't want to screw yourself over in the future. It sounds so isolating.VirginiaThere's often a lot of pressure on influencers not to be transparent about the business model and the money, which is something we see in almost every female dominated industry. Anytime you have an industry that's majority women, people tend to be underpaid and you're encouraged not to talk about money, which is why all of my writer friends know I am extremely transparent about money. Because I feel like this is how any of us make any. It doesn't surprise me that people were so hesitant to go on record for this story because they think they have so much to risk if they say these brands are paying them less. But it also enrages me because these brands are treating you terribly. How else do we put pressure on them to do something different and make different choices?CorinneI don't know, but it's scary to do that now, especially when it feels like there's fear of political retaliation.VirginiaMaybe this is me grasping at a strand of hope, but I do wonder if the fact that Vulture did this story is a positive sign. Will this kind of media coverage put pressure on brands to be more inclusive again? You could read this piece and think, What is Virginia talking about? There's no GLP-1 backlash. The fact that the piece exists feels like a tiny bit of backlash. Or am I just grasping?CorinneWe'll see. It's probably going to take eight years, but I think at least some of the shine is off.VirginiaIt's hard to say that we're definitively in a backlash, or in a moment of change. I don't think we are. I think we are in a moment of increased nuance, and that's where we've landed. There's value in that. There's value in the conversations becoming more nuanced. The last piece we wanted to talk about was Amanda Richard's recent essay about her own experience taking GLP-1s and her take on where we are in this moment. It's called The return of thinness, without the reckoning. What are your thoughts on this piece?CorinneI thought it was really interesting. I read it this morning and haven't fully digested it. The most interesting part to me was this part near the end where she says:What this moment reveals isn't hypocrisy, it's preference, preference for ease over effort, relief over reckoning, for changing bodies instead of changing the rules that they're judged by. Fat acceptance faltered not because it was wrong, but because it asked more of people than a weight loss transformation ever could.She's getting at this moment in culture where people have lower tolerance than ever for friction. We want everything to be as easy as possible, myself included. That's not always what's best for the world, or even ourselves.VirginiaShe's arguing that we're not in a backlash, but that the rise of GLP-1s has legitimized the pursuit of thinness in new ways. She wrote:What's changed isn't the desire to be thin, but the way that desire is explained. It no longer has to pass through shame, discipline or denial, instead arriving framed as care, responsibility and common sense. we've had moral alibis for thinness before diets, program, supplements, lifestyle changes, but they were always imperfect because they still smelled like wanting. They required visible discipline. They demanded effort. They asked people to accept failure when their bodies didn't cooperate. Medicine is a better alibi.I thought that was pretty dead on.CorinneThat's interesting, although we had health as an alibi before.VirginiaWe definitely did. But she's right that making it something that doctors prescribe, that you have to do, and you have to do in very specific ways in order to adhere correctly to it, does feel different from when doctors say, Try to lose some weight and, you know, walk more. It's vague and nebulous and pushes people over to diet culture.Because you're accessing it through consumerism it feels more like something you want, like a choice you're making. There's aesthetic components. I'm doing this celebrity's plan, you know. It feels legitimate now that you're doing it as a responsible choice for yourself because a doctor prescribed it. It's not to say that the medical choices people are making to do these drugs are always wrong, or that it's a bad choice for everybody. Again, it's a great medication for managing diabetes. Because all of the research dollars in the world go towards these drugs, they are discovering other new benefits of them, and that's great if we don't want people to not have those benefits. CorinneWe didn't mention that the whole premise of the piece is that she's taking a GLP-1 for a condition, and it has helped tremendously.VirginiaShe's had some weight loss as a side effect, but that wasn't the primary goal. Fat acceptance needs to keep making more space for those stories and that reality. That is why we added the Anti-Diet Ozempic Life chat room on Burnt Toast, because I was hearing from readers ashamed and confessing to me that they were on a GLP-1 and not having a place to talk about how to do that with integrity and in alignment with their fat liberation values. I was thought, Well, we're doing something wrong if we're making people feel bad about their own individual choices. That's what the other guys do. That's not what we're about. The conversations there have been fascinating and super instructive to me. I've learned a lot. Everybody who's navigating this, if you've identified that fat liberation is one of your values, you have a responsibility to interrogate this thing that Amanda's articulating, how much of this is a moral alibi for thinness, and what does that mean if you're using medicine as your alibi to achieve thinness because of all the other reasons that thinness is valued.CorinneAlthough, in our culture, how can you not? There's always some element of "Being thin is good? Being thinner Is better?"VirginiaBeing prettier? I'll have better access to things. I don't think wanting that for yourself is "wrong" because how could you not want it?CorinneIt's the water we're swimming in. It's hard to make a neutral choice.VirginiaThere is no neutral choice. Articulating that tension to yourself is valuable versus just dressing it up in "I am doing this for x, y and z health reason. I don't care about being thin." Let's be honest. Of course we all care about that a little bit. We're in an interesting place with this stuff. I'm curious to hear what folks think. How you resonated with these articles and what else you're seeing in the discourse. I am glad for the increasing nuance and I wish mainstream media could spot its anti-fat bias even sometimes.

Injectable peptide therapy, a controversial wellness trend that caught fire online in 2025, shows no signs of slowing down in 2026 despite an overwhelming lack of safety data. Peptides, especially “research peptides” like BPC-157 and TB-500, have been hailed by famous podcasters, biohackers, and longevity gurus as a miracle cure for just about anything that ails you, from torn ligaments and gut issues to curbing wrinkles and dull skin. There are several well-studied, FDA-approved peptides available today, such as insulin and GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy, but that's just a sliver of the peptide pie. There are thousands more with glowing online reviews, but scant scientific data, that can be procured online or through longevity clinics. Mixes of various peptides, called “peptide stacks,” often come with clever names like the ‘'wolverine stack' or ‘glow protocol', while others have earned names like ‘Barbie peptide' for their ability to tan the skin without the sun. These popular stacks are not FDA-approved, so they're distributed online as 'research peptides' that are meant for in-lab research, not human use — a workaround for their gray market status. To find out more, host Lexy Lebsack sat down with two experts on the topic. First up was NYT's David Dodge (8:42), who walked us through the rise of peptide therapy online. He published an article for NYT in November titled “The internet loves peptide therapy. Is it really a miracle cure?” Lebsack also interviews McGill's Jonathan Jarry (29:35), who wrote an article in late 2023 — well ahead of a rush of online articles — called “The human lab rats injecting themselves with peptides.” Jarry walks us through the hard science, and lack thereof, of many popular stacks, ahead.

Ibai Llanos ha perdido peso y, a pesar de explicar públicamente que no ha utilizado fármacos tipo GLP-1, parte de las redes sociales ha cuestionado su proceso. La sospecha ha sido automática: “Seguro que ha usado Ozempic”. En este episodio reflexionamos sobre algo mucho más profundo que un caso concreto. ¿Hemos normalizado tanto la medicación para perder peso que ya no creemos en el cambio de hábitos? ¿Estamos medicalizando el cuerpo y patologizando el hambre? ¿Qué dice de nosotros que nos resulte más creíble una inyección que un proceso sostenido en el tiempo?Hablamos de qué son realmente los análogos de GLP-1, cuándo están indicados, qué implicaciones tienen y por qué el debate no debería centrarse en señalar a una persona, sino en analizar la narrativa colectiva que estamos construyendo alrededor del peso, la salud y la cultura de la delgadez.Un episodio para pensar más allá del titular.Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/comiendo-con-maria-nutricion--2497272/support.

This week, the guys get a little morbid with their discussions. But hey, death is a part of life, and life is funny, so it works! Do the guys think that they'll live to see the year 2100, or will billionaires, AI, and more bring an end to the Earth in the near future? They also discuss their thoughts on modern medicine like GLP-1s, and whether they're good for humanity in the long run. Would either Josh or Evan juice up with some weight-loss drug, or are they wary of the whole thing? Listen in for some fun spins on interesting, dark-ish topics! Plenty of Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits also make appearances, and there are some fun calendar days to review, too!

Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Liza Leal, your host today for the Meridian Medical Dental Healthcare Podcast, powered by Meridian Health Institute — and I'm also known as your Everyday Health Hacker.Today we're talking about what's really happening to your collagen, muscle, and hormones when you're on GLP-1 medications — and more importantly, what you can do to stay looking healthy, strong, and vibrant while you lose weight. A lot of people using GLP medications experience rapid fat loss. While that's wonderful for metabolic health, many people start noticing changes in their skin. Their face can look more hollow or sallow, skin may feel thinner or less elastic, and they may notice sagging in areas like the jawline, neck, arms, or abdomen. So let's talk about how to prevent that.

If you've ever stood at the pharmacy counter shocked by the price of your medication, this episode is for you. From daily thyroid prescriptions to high-demand weight-loss drugs like GLP-1s, drug costs can feel unpredictable—and unfair. In this episode, we break down the new wave of “cheaper prescription” options promising to change the game.We take a closer look at Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs, Amazon Pharmacy and RxPass, and the new Trump Rx pricing initiative—what they offer, how they work, and whether they actually save money on common thyroid medications and weight-loss drugs, as well as other prescription medications. We'll explain which prescriptions are most likely to benefit, where the fine print matters, and why some meds are still frustratingly expensive despite all the headlines.Whether you're managing hypothyroidism, exploring medical weight loss, or paying cash for prescriptions, this episode helps you cut through the noise. 

Jared is joined by original U Up? co-host Sami Sage for a fun episode that kicks off with body image, Ozempic shame, and why vulnerability isn't owed, but it does matter. They unpack a listener's dilemma about dating a woman who may have lost weight on GLP-1s and whether hiding old photos is a red flag, a boundary, or none of his business. Then they review texts from a guy who gives his date the ick by editing his messages multiple times, one edit should be the max! Sami and Jared also discuss what women should actually get men for the upcoming Valentine's Day. Lastly, they dig into two red flag deal breakers: staying close with an ex-wife and being single at 33 – is that a red flag? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stassi and Taylor are finally back in the same room recording without headphones and immediately feel weirdly naked about it. Tay flies in sick but still commits to a very responsible girls' wine night (because priorities), which turns into parent-life chats about kids clocking your wine breath, newborn cuteness rankings (who says 7.8?!), and the universal truth that every child — and adult — goes through at least one painfully awkward phase. Cue Taylor making boys look at her baby pictures and Stassi's full Girls Gone Wild era. They wrap on pure good vibes with the Bad Bunny halftime show so joyful it has them crying, dancing, and remembering there's still hope — and love wins.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Hiya Health: Receive 50% off your first order.

Jared welcomes legendary “expert in pessimism” Eddie Pepitone for a Chit Chat Wednesday that somehow turns bleak childhood memories into pure comedy gold. Eddie takes us from soot-covered Brooklyn delis to surviving the Edinburgh Fringe like a stand-up endurance athlete, and he's got some strong feelings about being labeled “the shouty guy.” They get into the weird relationship comics have with their fans, why bad times can weirdly be “Pepitone season,” and what today's stand-up boom is doing to the craft. Then things take an unexpected turn into gym videos, capitalism rants, and a very specific Florida breakfast order that says a lot about a person. Stick around for the menu game and the travel story that proves Eddie might actually chase historic storms on purpose.Jared is on tour!

What if the goal wasn't just to lose weight, but to achieve a balanced "weight health ecosystem"? In this episode, I speak with Ashley Koff about how ultra-processed foods, under-fueling, and disrupted hormones have shaped today's metabolic crisis—and why weight loss alone is the wrong goal. Ashley shares her deeply personal journey and her science-backed framework for understanding weight health, including a clear, honest conversation about GLP-1 medications and how to use them responsibly. Ashley Koff, RD, is the USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot (HarperOne) and founder of The Better Nutrition Program (BNP). With over twenty-five years of experience, Ashley's helped redefine how we approach sustainable, lasting weight health. In her new book, Your Best Shot, Ashley introduces weight-health hormones (GLP-1, GIP, CCK, PYY) and offers the first-ever system for assessing and optimizing these hormones, whether you're using GLP-1 medication or not.

A4M just gave us a front-row seat to what's next in longevity care—here's what we're actually bringing back to Victory (and what we're leaving behind). In this episode, Amy Stuttle is joined by Anna Griffith, DNP at Victory Men's Health to recap the biggest takeaways from A4M in Las Vegas—the largest academic conference in the U.S. for functional and longevity medicine. They break down what stood out, what felt “bright and shiny” but didn't hold up under scrutiny, and what Victory is actually bringing back to patients. You'll hear practical insights on protein quality vs. just “eating more protein,” why amino acids (and leucine thresholds) matter—especially for those fasting or using GLP-1s—and the supplements they're most excited to add, including Perfect Aminos and Urolithin A. Amy and Anna also discuss one of the most talked-about topics at the conference: TB-006 and Galectin-3 as an emerging area of research for neurodegenerative disease symptom support, plus the complementary role of modified citrus pectin. They wrap with an update on the exploding peptide conversation—what's real, what's marketing, and why clinical oversight matters—and a look at new longevity tools Victory is adding at the new location, including VO2 max testing as part of a more complete longevity strategy. If you've been wondering what's next in longevity medicine—and what's worth your time versus hype—this episode gives you the real-world, clinician-level breakdown.

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Mary-Caitlin and Dan, a couple who navigated the challenges of PCOS and fertility treatment to welcome their son Jack. Alongside their incredible doctor, Dr. Joshua Hurwitz from Illume Fertility, we explore what it really means to face a PCOS diagnosis and how the right medical support combined with unwavering partnership can transform a difficult journey into a story of success.  Mary-Caitlin shares her experience from being diagnosed at age 20 to enduring multiple losses before finding hope through IVF, while Dan offers a loving partner's perspective on being present through every step of the process. Throughout our conversation, we dive into the medical realities of PCOS: from understanding it as an ovulation issue rather than an infertility diagnosis, to optimizing IVF protocols specifically for PCOS patients. Dr. Hurwitz breaks down the science behind modified natural transfer cycles, the importance of metabolic health, and exciting developments in PCOS treatment including GLP-1 medications.  Read the full show notes on my website. In this episode, we cover: How PCOS affects ovulation and fertility, and why it's not a diagnosis of infertility The emotional impact of receiving a PCOS diagnosis as a young woman and how to communicate with partners Optimizing IVF protocols for PCOS patients, including medication dosing, trigger types, and birth control lead-ins Modified natural transfer cycles and why they may reduce pregnancy complications like preeclampsia The importance of metabolic optimization, nutrition support, and treating the whole person, not just the fertility issue How GLP-1 agonist medications can change PCOS management for long-term health Practical advice for couples: letting go of timelines, maintaining life outside of treatment, and supporting each other through the process Resources: Illume Fertility (Dr. Joshua Hurwitz's practice): https://illumefertility.com Illume on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illumefertility/ Guest: Dr. Joshua Hurwitz, Reproductive Endocrinologist at Illume Fertility Patients: Mary-Caitlin & Dan Other ways to reach me: Visit my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

Would you believe that there's a medication that can quiet the constant mental chatter around food for the first time in your adult life, but it could also cause you to lose muscle, age your face, and trap you in a cycle that's hard to escape? Both of those are true. When a drug can help someone lose 50 pounds and get off diabetes medication, that's a miracle. But when that same drug leaves someone unable to eat, losing muscle, and facing a lifetime of injections just to maintain their weight—that's a conversation we truly need to have. So, today we're taking a deep dive into GLP-1s—Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and what's coming next. How to preserve muscle when taking GLP-1 medications Consume 1.2–1.6 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, spread across meals  Try to eat something containing 25–30 grams of protein within about two hours after doing a strength workout Consume easily digestible protein sources when your appetite is low (shakes, yogurt, collagen, or bone broth) Commit to doing resistance training at least two to three times a week Monitor your body composition for any early signs of muscle loss  Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider helping men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.

In this episode: How muscle preservation becomes non-negotiable when your appetite is suppressed Why protein timing matters more than total calories when on GLP-1 medications The importance of resistance training when taking GLP-1s The value of in-body scans for catching any muscle loss that may be occurring early on Why tapering off GLP-1 medications starts on day one, not at the finish line How natural GLP-1 stimulation can support or extend the effects of GLP-1 medications Why body composition, not weight loss, determines long-term outcomes when taking GLP-1s How the next generation of GLP-1 agonist drugs could improve our longevity Links and Resources: Relative Links for This Show: Use CODE BERBERINE to get 10% off ⁠⁠⁠Berberine  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code FIBER to get 10% off GLP-1 Fiber Follow Your Longevity Blueprint  On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online   Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray  On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

In this week's episode of Medicine: The Truth, hosts Jeremy Corr and Dr. Robert Pearl examine a sweeping set of developments shaping American healthcare. From the first state-approved use of generative AI to prescribe medications without human oversight to rising healthcare costs, from worsening vaccine misinformation to the stubborn persistence of preventable disease, this show focuses on biggest stories in medicine today. The episode opens with a groundbreaking and controversial pilot program in Utah that allows a generative AI system to renew prescriptions for chronic disease without physician involvement. From there, the conversation turns to the relentless rise in healthcare spending. New federal data show Americans now spend more than $15,700 per person annually on medical care, with costs growing twice as fast as the economy. While insurance coverage remains high for now, Pearl warns that expiring subsidies, Medicaid restrictions and rising premiums are already pushing millions out of coverage. For many families, healthcare affordability has become a top issue and, increasingly, a political fault line heading into the midterm election cycle. Here are more major storylines from MTT episode 103: Exercise as medicine for depression: A large meta-analysis finds that regular exercise can be as effective as antidepressant medication for many patients. Trump's healthcare plan fades quickly: Pearl explains why the president's proposal disappeared from the headlines. Measles returns in force: Cases are nearing 1,000 and outbreaks concentrated in under-vaccinated communities. Vaccine battles intensify under RFK Jr.: New appointments to federal advisory committees raise alarm among scientists, as anti-vaccine voices gain influence. Chronic disease remains America's top killer: Cardiovascular disease continues to claim nearly one million lives annually. Generative AI's biggest promise: Pearl makes the case that AI-driven, at-home monitoring could finally transform chronic disease management. Cancer trends turn ominous: Colorectal cancer deaths among Americans under 50 are rising sharply, becoming the leading cancer killer in this age group. Genetics vs. lifestyle revisited: New research suggests genetics may account for half of lifespan variation but lifestyle still determines how many of those years are lived in good health. High-deductible health plans: New data show cancer patients with high-deductible insurance have significantly higher mortality. GLP-1 weight-loss pills arrive: The first oral GLP-1 drug launches to record demand. A devastating flu season for children: Despite the availability of safe vaccines, pediatric flu deaths reach alarming levels among unvaccinated kids. As the episode closes, Dr. Pearl delivers a stark warning about the resurgence of pseudoscience in medicine. Tune in for more fact-based coverage and analysis of healthcare's biggest stories.   * * * Dr. Robert Pearl is the author of the new book “ChatGPT, MD: How AI-Empowered Patients & Doctors Can Take Back Control of American Medicine” about the impact of AI on the future of medicine.

GLP 1 medications are everywhere, and most conversations swing between hype and shame. This episode slows it all down.   We cover what GLP 1 actually is (a natural satiety and blood sugar hormone), how GLP 1 medications work in the gut and brain, what the research shows so far, and what it still does not answer. We talk about why these meds can feel life changing for food noise and cravings, plus the tradeoffs that often get minimized, like nausea, constipation, fatigue, under eating, and muscle loss.   This is not a pro or anti episode. It is a physiology first conversation to help you ask better questions and make thoughtful decisions, whether you are curious, considering it, or already using one.   Hosted by Leanne Vogel.   Coaching with Leanne: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/coaching    Bioactive Peptides: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/make     Quiz - your personalized peptide stack: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/quiz    Enjoy today's show.
