Podcasts about Obesity

How do weight loss injections work and does the weight pile on again when you stop them? You’ve heard about your G-spot but what about your A-spot and your O-spot ? And how to deal with a phobia of needles. In this episode, Bariatrician GP Dr Jessica McEwan talks about the potential benefits and risks of GLP-1 agonists including what happens if you take too much. We also discuss how to talk to your GP to find out if you meet the appropriate guidelines for prescription and how lifestyle changes including diet and exercise are crucial to their success. Also, we talk about how the food industry is trying to make ultra-processed foods even more addictive to override the effects of these drugs. Ask The Doc: Ask us a question in The Waiting Room.

A review of the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity and the related proposal that low carbohydrate diets are superior to traditional low fat diets. I begin with a discussion of the theory behind the carbohydrate insulin model, and then assess its plausibility using relevant evidence from rodent studies, dietary studies, ahd controlled feeding experiments. I argue that the scientific evidence does not support the alleged benefits of low carb diets for weight loss in otherwise healthy adults.

We talk about the rise of compounded GLP-1 medications being promoted as safe and affordable, even though many are unregulated and illegal. We also address the common belief that “Big Pharma just wants to make money,” and why that idea can be misleading. Plus, we discuss trending drugs like sublingual tirzepatide that are widely talked about online but aren't approved or even available yet. And finally, we look at supplements labeled “natural”—why they might seem harmless but aren't always worth the cost.Online health advice is everywhere, but knowing what's true takes time and trusted experts.Listen to the full episode now to get the facts and protect yourself from misinformation.Connect with Dr. Deshmukh:Website: Hackensack Meridian Health Connect with me:Instagram: doctorfrancavillaFacebook: Help Your Patients Lose Weight with Dr. FrancavillaWebsite: Dr. Francavilla ShowYoutube: The Doctor Francavilla ShowGLP Strong: glpstrong.com

We explore this common condition, its risk factors, and how simple lifestyle changes can reverse it before more serious health problems develop.• Insulin resistance occurs when muscles, liver, and fat cells fail to respond to normal levels of insulin• The pancreas compensates by producing more insulin, eventually leading to beta cell failure• Clinical signs include dark skin patches in body folds (acanthosis nigricans), elevated triglycerides, and increased waist circumference• One in three Americans have prediabetes, with many also experiencing insulin resistance• Risk factors include central obesity, sedentary lifestyle, family history, PCOS, and certain racial/ethnic backgrounds• Sleep disturbances, chronic stress, and fatty liver disease are emerging factors linked to insulin resistance• A 5-7% weight reduction improves insulin sensitivity by over 50%• Regular physical activity (150+ minutes weekly) helps glucose enter cells more efficiently• Diet modifications focusing on whole foods, limiting refined sugars, and following Mediterranean or DASH patterns show significant benefits• "The movement is the medicine, the food is the medicine" when addressing insulin resistanceSupport the showSubscribe to Our Newsletter!

The global market for obesity drugs is expanding. Our U.S. Pharma and Biotech Analyst Terrence Flynn discusses what's driving the next stage of global growth for GLP-1 medicines.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Terrence Flynn: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Terrence Flynn, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Pharma and Biotech Analyst. The market for obesity medicines is at an inflection point, and today I'll focus on what's driving the next stage of global growth.It's Thursday, June 5th at 2pm in New York.GLP-1 medicines have been viewed by many stakeholders as one of the most transformative medications in the market today. They've exploded in popularity over the last few years and become game changers for many people who take them. These drugs have large cap biopharma companies racing to innovate. They've had ripple effects on food, fitness, and fashion. They truly are a major market force. And now we're on the cusp of a significant broadening of use of these medicines.Currently the U.S. is the largest consumer in the world of GLP-1s. But new versions of these medicines suggest that this market will extend beyond the U.S. to significantly larger numbers of patients globally. On our estimate, the Total Addressable Market or TAM for obesity medications should reach $150 billion globally by 2035, with approximately [$]80 billion from the U.S. and [$]70 billion from international markets.Now this marks a meaningful increase from our 2024 forecast of [$]105 billion and reflects a greater appreciation of opportunities outside of the U.S. We think obesity drug adoption will likely accelerate as patients and providers become more familiar with the new products and as manufacturers address hurdles in production, distribution, and access.Current adoption rates of GLP-1 treatments within the eligible obesity population are about 2 to 3 percent. This is in the U.S., and roughly 1 percent in the rest of the world. Now, when we look out further, we anticipate these figures to surge to 20 percent and 10 percent respectively, really driven by five things.First, after a period of shortages, supply constraints have improved, and the drug makers are investing aggressively to increase production. Second new data show that obesity drugs have broader clinical applications. They can be used to treat coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, kidney disease, or even sleep apnea. They could also potentially fight Alzheimer's disease, neuropsychiatric conditions, and even cancer.Third, we think coverage will expand as obesity drugs are approved to treat diseases beyond obesity. Public healthcare coverage through Medicare should also broaden based on these expected approvals. Fourth, some drug makers are successfully developing obesity drugs, in pill form instead of injectables. Pills are of course easier to administer and can reach global scale quickly. And finally, drug makers are also developing next gen medications with even higher efficacy, new mechanisms of action, and more convenient, less frequent dosing.All in all, we think that over the next decade, broader GLP-1 adoption will extend well beyond biopharma. We expect significant impacts on medical technology, healthcare services, and consumer sectors like food, beverages, and fashion, where changes in patient diets could reshape market dynamics.Thanks so much for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen. And share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Can you actually be healthy at any weight? What do leeches have to do with gynaecological issues? And what to do if you keep getting styes in your eye. In this episode, we have an important conversation about weight. Endocrinologist Dr Isobelle Smith talks about whether weight loss is more than just calories in and calories out, how to downsize fat not muscle and what your hormones have to do with your weight. We also discuss whether BMI is still a valid measure and how focusing on your health, rather than your weight may be the key. Also, is a “weight set point” actually a thing?

Think menopause is why you're gaining weight? It's not. The truth: your metabolism stays stable from age 20 to 60. What does change? Your energy balance—and most women don't see it happening. In this episode, I unpack the real reason weight loss feels harder now, and what you can do to shift it. You'll learn how energy in (food) vs. energy out (movement) drives fat loss, why tracking intake matters more than ever, and how your body subtly burns less as you lose weight—without you even noticing. What you'll walk away with: Why “calories” are just energy—and why mindset around them matters The law of thermodynamics: no one gets around it How untracked changes in daily movement stall fat loss Why tracking isn't about judgment—it's data to guide your goals What's really behind midlife weight gain (and it's not your hormones) Cut through the confusion.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright answer listener questions from around the world about metabolic health. This mailbag episode explores widely-debated topics like “starvation mode,” weight loss plateaus, the relationship between metabolism and cognitive health, cannabis and metabolism, metabolic effects of liposuction, and the latest on GLP-1 medications.Key Takeaways:Dr. Cooper dispels myths around “starvation mode,” citing research on the long-term metabolic impact of dieting and caloric restriction.Weight loss plateaus are often misunderstood—Dr. Cooper explains the natural adaptations behind them and how to assess true progress.Metabolic health plays a major role in brain function, cognitive decline, depression, and dementia prevention.Cannabis affects metabolic pathways in complex ways, with regular use potentially causing negative metabolic effects.Liposuction can trigger metabolic rebound and rapid fat regain for some patients, especially when leptin levels are low.Updates on GLP-1 meds: Liraglutide is available in generic form, but costs fluctuate. New oral and combination therapies are on the horizon.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea and Mark reflect on their own journeys with dieting, weight plateaus, and medication.Dr. Cooper shares clinical experiences with metabolic rebound after liposuction and ways to navigate pharmacologic treatments.Correction: Lilly has a lower cash pay for Medicare and Medicaid, but Novo Nordisk is not yet.References related to diet-induced metabolic adaptation, also called biological adaptation and defense of body weight. 1.

The size of India's insulin market was an estimated Rs 4,404 crore in April this year, with Indian players making steady entry into a market once dominated by Big pharma.  

Send me a message - text me! When a shocking image goes viral - like the so-called “obesity X-ray” recently shared by The Joe Rogan Experience - it's easy to get swept up in fear-based narratives about obesity, dressed up as health advice. But what's the real story behind this image, and what does it say about the way we treat people in bigger bodies?In this episode, I unpack the truth behind the image (spoiler: it's not a real X-ray), the harm caused by fear-mongering posts like these, and what body positivity actually stands for. We'll explore weight stigma in healthcare, the importance of behaviours over body size, and why no one owes the world a smaller body.If you've seen the Joe Rogan post and felt anger, shame or confusion, this conversation is for you.Support the showHere are some links to places you can get my ramblings, and more importantly my intuitive eating & body confidence coaching....WhatsApp me!Eat From Within membershipWork with meGet my emailsFollow on InstagramConnect with me on LinkedInJoin the Facebook group

Behind the skyscrapers and luxurious resorts of the United Arab Emirates, a silent health crisis is looming. According to a study published in The Lancet, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among adult men in the UAE is set to rise from 84 percent in 2021 to 94 percent by 2050, placing the country among the worst affected in the world. This epidemic is fuelled by unbalanced eating habits, a growing reliance on home deliveries and a sedentary lifestyle. The consequences are serious: diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The Emirati authorities are taking action, in particular by targeting younger generations, but significant progress still needs to be made. Our team on the ground reports.

Thursday, May 29 -  Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discusses the biggest concerns for health and medical news from a natural position over prescription drugs. He starts today's episode with the beginnings of his relationship with Doug Stephan before getting into the biggest topics in health and wellness news from a holistic point of view, including the benefits of breastmilk, the harmful side of baby formula, and why he opposes vaccines for newborns. Next, Dr. Jack gets into nutrients for the mother in your life and his own “Jack's Pack for Mom” that can help with skin, hair and nails — which you can find at ForbiddenDoctor.com or by calling 801.523.1890 and tell them you want the May Special Jack's Pack for Mom. Circling back to the breastmilk conversation, Dr. Jack shares the benefits of breastfeeding for mothers who breastfeed, including an improved bond between mother and baby, a quicker recovery of postpartum hormones, slashes risk of longterm diseases, and more. To round out the conversation, Doug and Dr. Jack conversate on how an adjustment of the upper cervical spine can benefit problems resulting from stress, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, the problem our diets cause in terms of metabolic stress, and the importance of eating foods that are closer to what mother nature intended.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

With over a decade of clinical experience and features in The New York Times, CNN, and Women's Health, Dr. Sowa is a leading voice in metabolic health and the safe, personalized use of GLP-1 medications.

Cohosts Yvette Raphael and Ben Plumley unpick the major news coming out of the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva. – from the new pandemic treaty, to WHO budget and staffing cuts, to increases in membership fees and voluntary contributions. They ruminate on how the current seemingly-unstoppable geopolitical chaos is affecting the ability of global health institutions like the World Health Organisation to deliver – and deliver on what exactly? What can the WHO actually do in such a fractured political climate? They reflect on US Secretary of Health and Human Service's video presentation to the World Health Assembly, which at the very best, can't be called the best example of American power and diplomacy. Which perhaps was the point. They cover a few broader issues Which leads them to a few extra-curricular activities – the diplomatic manner in which South African President Cyril Ramaphosa immediately deflected a bizarre meeting at the US White House, complete with lies, videotape and no offers of jumbo jets. Before hitting Geneva, Yvette was at the European Congress on Obesity and Weight Management in Barcelona delving into the complex interactions between HIV and weight issues.

Did you know that your body has its own unique weight loss blueprint and it might be the key to finally seeing results? In this episode, I explore the concept of obesity phenotypes and why one-size-fits-all approaches to weight loss often fail. I dive into the four main types I see in my practice: Hungry Brain, Emotional Hunger, Hungry Gut, and Slow Burn, and how understanding which one you align with can dramatically improve your treatment strategy. I also reflect on my own experiences, and those of my patients, emphasizing that it's not about willpower but biology and behavior.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, discusses the significant impact of obesity on health, particularly in Australia where heart disease is prevalent. He emphasizes the concerning rise of ultra-processed foods in diets, which are linked to increased obesity rates due to their addictive nature and high calorie density. Dr. Bishop highlights that traditional weight loss studies often fail in the long term, as most dieters regain lost weight, primarily due to metabolic adaptations. He advocates for a focus on high-protein whole foods, resistance training, and lifestyle consistency to achieve sustainable metabolic health changes.

Send us a textThe devastating reality of childhood obesity in America demands our immediate attention. With a staggering 20% of our children—nearly 15 million kids—suffering from obesity, we're facing a generational health crisis that's cutting lives in half before they've truly begun.This episode dives deep into the shocking statistics and life-altering consequences of childhood obesity. When severely overweight children face four times higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and triple the risk of heart disease by age 39, we can no longer pretend this isn't an emergency. The most heartbreaking statistic? Severely obese children face a 50% reduction in life expectancy. We are literally watching half their lives disappear before our eyes.I examine the myths surrounding healthy eating, particularly the persistent belief that nutritious food must be expensive. By breaking down real costs and nutritional value, I demonstrate how this dangerous misconception perpetuates unhealthy choices, especially in lower-income communities where obesity rates soar highest. The government's role comes under scrutiny too—from ineffective school lunch programs undermined by food industry lobbying to SNAP benefits that currently enable junk food purchases with taxpayer dollars.Beyond policy failures, we confront the uncomfortable question: Is allowing a child to become morbidly obese a form of child abuse? When parents introduce infants to soda and processed foods, establishing lifelong unhealthy relationships with nutrition, are we not setting them up for shortened, compromised lives? The solution requires action on multiple fronts—government policy reform, complete overhaul of nutrition education, parental accountability, and consumer choices that drive market change.Join me in this crucial conversation and share it widely. Our children's futures depend on us recognizing this crisis and taking immediate action. Through our votes, our wallets, and our voices, we can create the change needed to save our next generation.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

EP. 212: Today I'm joined by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, obesity specialist, Lipidologist, and founder of Vineyard, a cutting-edge direct care platform. We're diving deep into the conversation you've been asking for: the real story behind GLP-1s, obesity as a chronic disease, and why treating it goes far beyond weight loss. We break down everything from proper dosing, common side effects, and the dangers of vanity prescribing to the systemic issues with telemedicine and PBMs. Dr. Nadolsky and I also discuss strength training, preserving muscle mass, and how GLP-1s may support metabolic and cardiovascular health beyond their FDA indications. This episode cuts through the noise and misinformation. If you care about metabolic health, this one's essential.
