Yi-Chun Chen is taking a close-up look at some of the body's hardest-working cells — the ones often processing an overabundance of modern-day food and nutrients. “From an evolutionary point of view, our cells are not designed to deal with that,” said Dr. Chen, who joined the department of Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology at the University of Saskatchewan last year as an assistant professor. She said our bodies are pushed into churning out large amounts of insulin rapidly after snacks and meals, “which makes the beta cells work extra hard.” Raised in Taiwan and inspired by her grandfather—a retired elementary school science teacher—Chen's fascination with biology first led her to work as a medical laboratory technologist, then to the world of cellular research. Using both rodent and human models, Chen is studying pancreatic beta cells: the way they process peptide hormones like insulin and how their behaviour and function is affected by an excess of nutrients. Using high-resolution imaging, she and her team are examining how both humans and mice synthesize, process, and clear peptide hormones. “There are a lot of things we still don't know about peptide hormones, not just in the pancreas, but in the brain, in the gut,” she said. “Those are fascinating.” Last year, Chen was the recipient of a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Early Career Transition Award. After moving from UBC to Saskatchewan, Dr. Chen said she's thankful to see so much support already from her established and mid-career prairie colleagues. “They can mentor us and guide us, and we also have a group of five or six young scientists,” she said. “I can envision myself working on many, many interesting projects with them.” Her goal today is to identify biomarkers that could predict diabetes far earlier. She hopes to develop biochemical assays that measure proinsulin levels to serve as an early warning system. This could enable interventions months or even years before a traditional diagnosis based on blood glucose levels. “We want to be able to predict the development of, for example, type 1 or type 2 diabetes before they are diagnosed,” said Chen. In the long term, Chen envisions both preventative strategies and regenerative therapies to fight diabetes. Stem cell-derived beta cells may be a future solution, she said. “We are making really good progress in Canada, actually. We have clinical trials. We're putting the stem cell–derived beta cells into patients with type 1 diabetes.” She hopes this will one day reduce the need for constant insulin injections, even helping curb  obesity. “Don't give up,” Chen said. “We are passionate and we want to work on many, many things.” “If you like it, keep going.”

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

Did you know that some weight loss medications can help people lose up to 20% of their body weight, comparable to bariatric surgery outcomes? In this episode, I dive into the latest research comparing two major weight loss medications, Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide), based on findings from the 72-week SURMOUNT-5 trial. I explain how Zepbound led to greater weight loss (about 20.2% vs. 13.7% with Wegovy), possibly due to its dual action on GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Both drugs were generally well tolerated, with similar side effects like nausea and constipation, though Wegovy had slightly more people stop due to GI issues. I also emphasize that while Zepbound may appear more effective, individual needs, such as cardiovascular health or sleep apnea, should guide treatment decisions. Lastly, I remind you that sustainable weight loss requires patience, realistic expectations, and a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes, not just medication. Tune in to this episode to learn which weight loss medication might be right for you and why your journey to health is more than just the number on the scale.   Episode Highlights: Comparison of Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) Average weight loss outcomes and waist circumference changes between both medications Mechanism of action: GLP-1 vs. dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor targeting Side effect profiles and tolerability of both medications FDA approval differences, including cardiovascular risk reduction and sleep apnea treatment Importance of personalized treatment plans and setting realistic weight loss expectations Ongoing research into oral formulations and long-term safety studies 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.

Listen to today's podcast... May is Hypertension Month and health professionals from across Canada are encouraging Canadians to know their numbers to help prevent and control hypertension and avoid its serious and deadly complications. Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of death and disability around the world, and can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and dementia. Over 7.5 million Canadians have hypertension, and 7.4 million more have high blood pressure that will lead to hypertension without preventative action. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating World Hypertension Day: In those who have hypertension, about 30% is related to increased salt consumption, and about 20% related to low dietary potassium, so chose foods wisely. Physical inactivity is related to about 20% of hypertension, so get moving and active. Obesity is related to about 30% of hypertension, so keep your weight in check. Excess alcohol consumption also causes hypertension, so don't over-indulge. Being tobacco free is especially important for people with hypertension. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. Most individuals with hypertension are unaware that their blood pressure is high, so get checked and keep your blood pressure in check.

Biopharmas developing therapies for obesity are looking to a future where the quality of weight loss matters as much as the quantity — what targets and programs could help realize that vision? On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury's editors discuss the signaling pathways that may exclusively target fat mass while preserving, or even increasing, lean mass — and which companies are playing in the space.The editors also assess what Vinay Prasad's past comments say about how he might lead FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) — and examine how investors are evaluating the possibility that he might move the bar for regulatory approvals. The team then introduces the first in a new BioCentury series, with a look at a Literature Dive into ovarian cancer “atlases” — large-scale molecular profiling studies that point to predictive signatures and patient stratification strategies.

BUFFALO, NY — May 13, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 4, on April 7, 2025, titled “Pharmacological recapitulation of the lean phenotype induced by the lifespan-extending sulfur amino acid-restricted diet.” In this study, the research team, led by first author Naidu B. Ommi and corresponding author Sailendra N. Nichenametla from the Orentreich Foundation for the Advancement of Science Inc., investigated whether the drug buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) could replicate the effects of sulfur amino acid restriction (SAAR), a challenging diet known to reduce obesity. The study found that BSO produced similar reductions in fat mass and weight gain. This drug-based approach may offer a simpler and safer treatment for obesity, especially for those unable to follow strict dietary plans. Obesity and metabolic disorders raise the risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. While SAAR, a diet low in the amino-acids methionine and cysteine, has shown powerful health benefits in animal studies, its translation to humans has been limited by adherence challenges. This new study explored whether BSO, a compound that lowers glutathione (GSH) levels in the body, could mimic SAAR's effects without dietary restriction. Researchers tested four groups of obese mice on high-fat diets. One group received the SAAR diet, another was given a regular diet plus BSO, while two control groups received either no treatment or a supplement that increased GSH levels. The BSO-treated mice showed lower fat mass, reduced liver fat, and prevented weight gain, results comparable to those on the SAAR diet. These benefits occurred without reducing food intake or muscle mass, making BSO a particularly promising treatment option. “BSO mice exhibited all SAAR-induced changes, with two notable differences, i.e., a smaller effect size than that of the SAAR diet and a higher predilection for molecular changes in kidneys than in the liver.” Additional findings revealed that both the SAAR diet and BSO influenced metabolic activity by activating pathways related to fat storage, but they did so in different organs. The SAAR diet had stronger effects in the liver, while BSO acted more in the kidneys. Both interventions increased levels of the amino acid serine, which is associated with lower fat production. Unlike many obesity treatments that suppress appetite or reduce muscle, BSO helped prevent fat accumulation while preserving lean mass and food consumption. No signs of liver or kidney toxicity were observed during the 13-week study, suggesting the drug's safety at the tested dose. Since BSO has previously been evaluated in human clinical trials for other conditions, repurposing it for metabolic diseases may be relatively straightforward. However, the researchers point out that there should be further studies in both animals and humans. If successful, this strategy could provide a practical alternative to difficult-to-maintain diets and help more people manage weight long-term.

 Listen to Omar The Pharmacist in this eye-opening episode as he explores the growing obesity epidemic in the United States. Backed by compelling statistics and medical insights, Omar breaks down the root causes—from poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyles to hormonal imbalances and environmental factors. He also discusses a variety of evidence-based strategies for managing and preventing obesity, including lifestyle changes, dietary approaches, medical treatments, and community-based initiatives. This episode offers valuable information for anyone seeking to understand and tackle one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. 

Story at-a-glance Global obesity rates have skyrocketed, with over 3.8 billion adults projected to be overweight or obese by 2050, making this a worsening crisis that no country has successfully reversed People are gaining excess weight at younger ages than ever before, increasing their lifetime exposure to obesity-related diseases like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers The obesity epidemic is no longer limited to wealthy nations — low-income and developing countries are experiencing some of the fastest-growing obesity rates due to shifts toward ultraprocessed foods The economic burden of obesity is crippling health care systems, with global obesity-related health care costs expected to reach $4 trillion by 2035 Fixing obesity requires addressing the root causes — eliminating harmful seed oils, reducing exposure to synthetic estrogens and EMFs, and healing the gut to restore proper mitochondrial function

In this powerful episode of Her Best SELF podcast, we dismantle the widely misused BMI scale and reveal why this outdated measurement has no place in your recovery journey. Learn the problematic origins of BMI, the scientific evidence against its validity, and discover more meaningful ways to understand health and healing while navigating eating disorder recovery. What You'll Learn: The surprising origin story of BMI (it wasn't created by health professionals!) Scientific studies proving BMI is an inaccurate measure of individual health Why BMI disproportionately harms certain populations and body types Better alternatives for understanding your body's health during recovery Practical tips for responding when healthcare providers focus on BMI How releasing attachment to numbers supports lasting recovery Research Mentioned: International Journal of Obesity study on metabolic health markers Journal of the American Medical Association research on BMI and mortality rates University of Pennsylvania research on ethnic differences in body composition Quotes from the Episode: "Your body is not a math problem to be solved. Your worth is not determined by where you fall on a chart created for 19th-century population statistics." "True health is about how your body functions, not how you measure against an arbitrary mathematical formula." Recovery Action Step: The next time someone tries to reduce your health to a BMI number, remember the science backing why this measurement is fundamentally flawed. Practice responding with confidence about your commitment to more meaningful health markers in your recovery.

Did you know that simply tracking your steps each day can double your chances of reaching your weight loss goals? In this episode, I explored how digital tech tools like fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, smart scales, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), streaming fitness apps, and sleep tech can support your weight loss journey. I shared personal experiences using devices like the Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Garmin, emphasizing how they helped me stay accountable and understand my body's needs better. From real-time data on your activity and heart rate to insights on your sleep and glucose levels, these tools offer valuable support—but they're not without downsides, such as cost, data accuracy, and the risk of obsession. Ultimately, I encouraged picking one or two tools based on your biggest challenges and reminded my listeners that while tech can help, real progress still depends on showing up and staying consistent.  Tune in to discover which digital tools can supercharge your weight loss journey and help you stay on track effortlessly!   Episode Highlights: Benefits and drawbacks of fitness trackers  How heart rate monitors help optimize fat burn and endurance training Insights from smart scales on body composition beyond weight Role of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in personalized nutrition Advantages and limitations of streaming fitness apps Impact of sleep tech on metabolism and weight loss Integration of digital tools through platforms like Apple Health and MyFitnessPal Tips for choosing the right tech based on your biggest health challenge 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.

On the eve of the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second administration, Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-hosts of America's Roundtable were invited by The White House Media Affairs Team for an exclusive Madia Row event in Washington, D.C. Also known as the "Food Babe," Vani Hari has spent over a decade sounding the alarm on the concerns of deceptive practices which are occurring in the food industry. According to the White House, some 30 million estimated number of American children were adversely affected with health conditions in 2022 and 3.4 million children are on ADHD medication. Further details from Vani Hari: ✔️ 1 in every 13 children have food allergies in the U.S. - which is about 2 children per classroom. ✔️ Food allergies in children increased approximately 50% between 1997 and 2011. ✔️ Every 3 minutes, a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room. ✔️ New cancer cases in the U.S. increased by 36.3% between 2000 and 2021. According to critics of large food companies, there is an interesting correlation between the changes brought to the kitchen table and throughout fast food locations and restaurants with certain food ingredients (which are banned in Europe and other places around the world) and the cost of healthcare in America. The Peterson Center on Healthcare established by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation states: "Health spending totaled $74.1 billion in 1970. By 2000, health expenditures had reached about $1.4 trillion, and in 2023 the amount spent on health more than tripled to $4.9 trillion." americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @thefoodbabe @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Here's a tweet with emojis based on the article:  

Obesity in America. Is there any other diagnosis as relevant, timely, or important when we think about the impact on our healthcare system? I doubt it. So, today we are ...

La Academia Americana de Pediatría define la obesidad en niños y adolescentes como un Índice de Masa Corporal igual o superior al percentil 95 para su edad y sexo. Esto significa que el peso del niño es mayor del esperado para su altura y edad, lo que puede indicar un exceso de grasa corporal. Hoy en día existen tratamientos o intervenciones que han demostrado ser más efectivos y seguros en el manejo de la obesidad infantil y de eso hablamos hoy con el Dr. Fernando Pérez Galaz, reconocido cirujano especializado en cirugía gastrointestinal y cirugía bariátrica, egresado de la Universidad Anáhuac, donde también cursó la Maestría en Ciencias Médicas. Actualmente, el Dr. Pérez Galaz es Director de la Clínica Gastro Bariátrica Santa Fe en el Hospital ABC Santa Fe, la única clínica en México certificada por la EASO (European Association for the Study of Obesity). El Dr. Pérez Galaz es autor del libro "50 preguntas en cirugía y tratamiento farmacológico de la obesidad". Su labor académica incluye ser docente en la Universidad Iberoamericana, en la especialidad de Obesidad y Comorbilidades, y profesor auxiliar de la especialidad de cirugía general en el Hospital ABC. Además es miembro del American College of Surgeons y del American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Además de su práctica médica, es cofundador de la Fundación Obesidades, una organización sin fines de lucro que busca lograr el reconocimiento de la obesidad comoenfermedad crónica y la no discriminación del paciente que vive con esta enfermedad. Actualmente, el Dr. Pérez Galaz es anfitrión del podcast Bariatría PRO, en el que imparte medicina basada en evidencia para mejorar la salud de forma inteligente.

Send us a textMasculinity is under attack, yet most critics don't understand what they're criticizing or how their rhetoric harms young men. Through historical context and personal reflection, we explore what masculinity truly means and why it's essential for a functioning society.• Masculinity is biologically rooted in the Y chromosome, creating different tendencies and drives than those found in women• Throughout history, masculine roles have centered around providing, protecting, and pursuing goals for the benefit of family and community• Modern society has swung from demanding emotional suppression to criticizing action-oriented masculine traits• Men derive happiness from working toward goals and seeing progress, particularly when their efforts benefit their families• Depression rates among men aged 20-39 have nearly tripled since 2005, reaching 14.3% between 2021-2023• Obesity affects nearly 40% of young American men, lowering testosterone and exacerbating identity issues• Exercise is the most underutilized antidepressant with no negative side effects, particularly beneficial for men• Complementary gender roles aren't oppressive when communicated clearly and respected by both partners• Men need to feel valued in society through having responsibility and purposeFitness is medicine.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

CEO Michael Costello and RD Rachel Jones Speak OutThis episode pulls back the curtain on how one of the biggest names in supplements is responding to the rise of GLP-1 medications—and what that means for our community. We sit down with GNC CEO Michael Costello and Registered Dietitian Rachel Kreider to talk about the shifting landscape of health and wellness, especially in the context of obesity care.With GLP-1 medications changing the game, GNC is stepping up with a new line of supplements designed to help people stay on therapy longer by addressing common side effects like nausea and fatigue. But that's just the beginning. We dig into how their backgrounds—one in science, the other in business—are shaping GNC's modern approach to health, including their rigorous product vetting process and commitment to safety.You'll also hear about GNC's coaching model, which offers one-on-one support to those navigating GLP-1s or working on broader wellness goals. From high-protein, low-sugar snack options to supplements designed specifically for women in perimenopause, this episode is full of tips, tools, and insights for making your health journey sustainable.We talk candidly about the supplement industry's reputation, how GNC is working to earn (or re-earn) your trust, and where they see their role in supporting chronic disease care going forward.This is a must-listen for anyone curious about how supplements and pharmaceuticals can work together—and how to make informed choices in a world that's finally starting to take obesity seriously.

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews findings from the SUMMIT trial, which examined how tirzepatide impacts patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study revealed that while tirzepatide improved cardiovascular outcomes and slightly boosted kidney function, the benefits in CKD patients may stem from mechanisms beyond glomerular filtration alone.
