If you've had bariatric surgery, you already know what it means to commit fully to your health.  But even with your best efforts, bodies adapt, hormones shift, and life adds its own complications. When weight begins to creep back, many people turn to GLP-1 medications for support, and that raises a crucial question: How well do GLP-1s actually work after bariatric surgery?I recently heard from a listener living this exact experience — someone who lost more than 200 pounds after gastric bypass and has now started Zepbound to address weight regain. Her story opens the door to an important conversation about why GLP-1 medications can behave differently in a post-bariatric body, why results may not mirror those of someone without surgical history, and how to redefine success when you've already achieved a significant transformation.ReferencesThe Obesity Guide: Behind the Curtain (Season 1)The Obesity Guide: Behind the Curtain (Season 2) - Includes access to the December 21-Day Challenge with daily coaching, actionable steps, and community support to end your year with momentum.Audio Stamps00:40 - Dr. Rentea shares a heartwarming reunion at the VA, reconnecting with former colleagues and reflecting on how far she's come in her weight loss journey.07:10 - Fan mail question: Does Zepbound (tirzepatide) work the same after gastric bypass surgery, and what weight loss results should you expect?09:11 - Why post-bariatric patients often respond better to GLP-1 medications and become "hyper responders" at lower doses.16:18 - Redefining success: why focusing on your relationship with food and sustainability matters more than hitting a specific weight loss percentage.17:48 - Common post-surgery pitfalls including grazing patterns, excessive step counting, and neglecting body composition tracking.20:42 - Information on the December 21-Day Challenge and upcoming 30/30 program rounds.All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this powerful episode, I will break down one of the biggest developments in obesity and diabetes treatment in U.S. history. Two major pharmaceutical companies - Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk - have reached a groundbreaking agreement with the administration that will drastically reduce the prices of popular medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound. This pricing model could transform how obesity medications are covered, distributed, and accessed across Medicare, Medicaid, and direct-to-consumer platforms. Tune in to learn what this new deal means for patients, healthcare providers, and public health overall—and why it's being called a game changer for people struggling with obesity and related health conditions. Episode Highlights: Major price cuts announced for Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound under a new federal deal   Medicare to cover obesity drugs for the first time through a five-year pilot program   Medicaid given the option to join discounted pricing starting 2026   Team Rx launches a direct-to-consumer model cutting out costly middlemen   Lower cash prices for GLP-1 medications and upcoming oral versions   Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to invest billions in U.S. manufacturing   Program expected to improve access, affordability, and supply of obesity and diabetes meds   Ongoing push for the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act to expand national coverage   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.

Many gay men fear psychiatric meds. Ken Howard, LCSW, CST, explains how the right medication can restore—not change—who you are, separating facts from stigma and myths about treatment and mental health.

Ozempic continues to spark headlines as its role in weight loss becomes more central to discussion in both medical circles and popular culture over the past week. Driven by ongoing demand and complex debate, the medication, originally developed for managing type two diabetes, is being increasingly prescribed as an aid for weight reduction. Recent news coverage demonstrates that the public conversation about Ozempic's impact is not slowing down. One of the most prominent voices weighing in this week has been Oprah Winfrey, who has offered candid reflections on her own experiences with Ozempic and the accompanying social reactions.This week, Oprah Winfrey openly addressed her use of Ozempic, stating that the medication had been part of her recent weight loss journey. The disclosure provoked a surge of reaction, with many in the media and public responding to her admission. According to JB Press, Oprah was direct in acknowledging how Ozempic had contributed to her results and sincerely discussed the reasons behind her choice. She emphasized that her decision was informed not just by the desire for weight loss, but by a broader understanding of health, aging, and the pressures faced by individuals in the public eye. Oprah expressed that Ozempic helped her manage not only her physical appearance but also her relationship with food and ongoing health challenges.The admission generated considerable controversy, especially in social media circles and news outlets. AOL reports that Oprah faced criticism from some who accused her of taking what they described as the easy way out. Detractors argued that reliance on medication sidesteps the harder emotional and behavioral work of traditional weight loss approaches. Yet, others pointed out that access to new treatments like Ozempic can democratize health outcomes for people who have battled obesity and associated health issues for years. Notably, Oprah addressed the backlash with clarity, stating that individual health decisions are complex and personal, and that stigma can deter meaningful progress in addressing obesity.While much of the discussion this week has centered on celebrity use and cultural debate, medical professionals have continued to caution that Ozempic is not a substitute for healthy eating or exercise. They underscore that while it may curb appetite and support weight loss, it should be prescribed thoughtfully and monitored by a physician. New data has emerged suggesting that demand for Ozempic has increased during the past seven days, especially following endorsements by well-known personalities. This has prompted ongoing examination regarding accessibility, cost, and responsible use.The increased attention on Ozempic this week has also reignited questions about the long-term effects of its use. Medical experts, as quoted in several news sources, remind listeners that Ozempic is primarily intended for people with type two diabetes, and that off-label use must be scrutinized to prevent negative outcomes. They warn against seeking the medication without proper guidance and note that lifestyle change remains a crucial part of sustainable weight management. The FDA continues to evaluate the safety profile of these drugs as more data comes to light.Overall, the recent wave of coverage shows that Ozempic is at the heart of a rapidly evolving public conversation about medicine, body image, and social stigma. Oprah Winfrey's openness this week has made a significant impact, both in encouraging honest dialogue and in prompting critical reflection about how we perceive health and beauty in the modern era. The question of whether medical intervention for weight loss constitutes an easy fix or an important tool remains active, and the story continues to evolve as more individuals and experts join the discussion.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Could the root cause of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension really be the same? In this video, I'll show you how to prevent chronic illness by effectively addressing the root cause, rather than just the symptom. “Based on my genetic report, identify which genes show adaptations to ancestral diets (hunter-gatherer, farming, natural). Then, explain how these same genes may create a mismatch with modern diets and environments. For each, show practical consequences and strategies to thrive today.”0:00 Introduction: The #1 root cause of chronic disease 0:20 Medicine ignores the root cause of health problems 1:23 What causes chronic disease?4:45 Genetics and chronic disease10:16 Tips for chronic disease preventionMedicine aims to label a disease and treat the symptoms with medication.

This week we speak with Ohio State ACHD fellow Andrew Freddo MD, PhD about a recent large single center study he conducted assessing the cardiovascular drugs that adult Fontan patients are taking and whether they might offer us insights into general well-being. Are there agents that are associated with worse outcomes? If so, is this a situation of the agent causing harm or is it a possible marker of illness? Are there agents associated with improved outcomes? These are amongst the questions reviewed with Dr. Freddo this week. DOI: 10.1016/j.jacadv.2025.102070

Send Me a Message! Good days don't last forever which is why they need to be used wisely. In this episode, I talk about using the times when mood, energy and motivation finally line up to take full advantage by being action-orientated and not just sitting back relaxing. How it's important to prepare for the eventual drop that's coming. Because it's true that as humans we have to endure both the good and the bad days. When my mood is elevated, I find even the most mundane of tasks bearable. Having the motivation and inspiration to clean my room, send the resume, apply for the job, book the appointment, set things in motion. Because when the clouds roll back in, it's a lot easier to cope if you've already taken steps forward. Progress makes the darkness less heavy. Stagnation makes it brutal.This episode is about momentum, not perfection. Action over comfort. Not letting the good days go to waste, so when the tough ones come, the work has been done to ensure the rewards are coming. And then the sun comes back again and sticks around for a bit longer than before.--Follow my journey through the chaos of mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.Lived experience is at the heart of this podcast — every episode told through my own lens, with raw honesty and zero filter.This is a genuine and vulnerable account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

Send us a textWant a clear, human guide to modern IBD care without the jargon? We're joined by Janette Villalon, a physician assistant at UC Irvine's IBD Center, who brings a front-line view of what truly helps patients: personalized therapy choices, honest safety talk, and practical plans that fit real life. She traces the evolution from a handful of anti-TNFs to a wider toolkit—anti-integrins, IL-12/23 and IL-23 inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, and S1P modulators—and explains how we match treatments to goals like fast relief, fewer side effects, and coverage of extraintestinal issues such as arthritis, uveitis, and psoriasis.We dig into how APPs power the day-to-day of IBD clinics, from education to monitoring and rapid access, and how the GHAPP Conference and national societies elevated advanced practice training. Janette breaks down when clinical trials make sense, why strict inclusion criteria matter, and how logistics can steer decisions when someone is very sick. She demystifies biosimilars, outlining FDA standards that support confident switches when insurance demands it, and shares how she helps patients balance infusions, injections, or pills against travel, work, and adherence.For those planning a family, Janette offers timely guidance: aim for clinical and endoscopic remission three to six months before conception, continue pregnancy-safe maintenance therapy, and discuss starting low-dose aspirin at 12 to 16 weeks to lower preeclampsia risk, coordinated with maternal-fetal medicine.Looking ahead, we explore precision medicine and AI—predictive markers, microbiome insights, and smarter monitoring that could reduce trial-and-error and catch flares early. The throughline is empowerment: ask questions, read, return for follow-ups, and shape your care around your life.

Mental health care is changing — and Dr. Matthew Rosario, founder and Chief Clinical Director of Clear Horizons Counseling Group, is helping to lead that transformation. In a candid and wide-ranging conversation on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael and co-host Niki Foster from the Front Royal/Warren County Chamber talk with Dr. Rosario about his passion for community-based care, his mission to make therapy more accessible, and why empathy and structure are the true foundations of healing. A New Model for Mental Health Care Dr. Rosario founded Clear Horizons to address the gaps he saw in traditional therapy. Rather than confining care to an office, his team meets clients where they are — literally and figuratively. "We're helping humans, not numbers," he explains. Instead of relying on the conventional 45-minute session, Clear Horizons offers community-based mental health and substance abuse treatment for youth and adults, including those involved with the Department of Juvenile Justice and Department of Corrections. By immersing themselves in their clients' real environments, Dr. Rosario and his staff gain a deeper understanding of the struggles people face each day. He emphasizes, "It's not just about talking. It's about seeing, listening, and walking alongside someone in their reality." Therapy That Meets People Where They Are Dr. Rosario rejects the idea that therapy should end when the clock runs out. His team remains available to patients, even outside business hours. "If a client needs me at nine o'clock at night because they're in crisis," he says, "I'd rather they call me than end up in the hospital." That human-first approach extends to Clear Horizons' payment model as well. The organization does not deny care based on a person's ability to pay, nor does it charge copayments. "If insurance pays, great," he notes. "If not, we still serve you. I'm not here to work for the insurance company — I'm here to work for the person." Beyond the Couch: Therapy for All Ages Clear Horizons operates offices in Front Royal, Fredericksburg, Richmond, and soon Norfolk, serving clients as young as six years old. Through play therapy, young children learn emotional regulation and critical thinking skills in a fun, interactive way. "Five-year-olds aren't going to sit down and spill their emotions," Dr. Rosario explains with a smile. "But through play, they show us how they feel — and that's where healing begins." For adolescents and adults, therapy may involve more direct dialogue and structured interventions, but the goal remains the same: to help clients recognize patterns, challenge excuses, and grow through self-awareness. The ADHD Conversation: From Diagnosis to Empowerment When the discussion turns to ADHD, Dr. Rosario leans forward with conviction. As an ADHD specialist—and someone who lives with the condition himself—he challenges misconceptions. "ADHD isn't just being hyper or distracted," he says. "It's about executive functioning — the ability to organize, prioritize, and self-regulate." Too often, he notes, patients receive medication without therapy or coaching. "Medication can help, but it doesn't teach skills. People need structure, accountability, and tools to manage their day-to-day life." He urges parents to seek ADHD coaches in addition to medical professionals, emphasizing that early intervention can make a life-changing difference. For adults, he offers hope: "You can't outgrow ADHD, but you can learn to manage it. It can become your superpower." A Life Built on Service and Structure Before entering the mental health field, Dr. Rosario served in the U.S. military, working at the Pentagon. That experience shaped his leadership style and his high standards for staff performance. "We're here to go above and beyond," he insists. "Our clients deserve our best." His structured approach balances empathy with accountability — both for his team and his patients. "I tell people all the time," he says, "'Life is tough. But what are you doing to change your circumstances?'" Investing in Community Wellness While Clear Horizons operates multiple offices across Virginia, Front Royal holds a special place in Dr. Rosario's heart. It's now his home and the organization's flagship location. He proudly reinvests 25% of company profits back into local nonprofits through sponsorships, grants, and community partnerships. "It's not about recognition," he insists. "It's about impact. If we have the resources to help, we should." From sponsoring Reaching Out Now and the Phoenix Project to hosting suicide awareness trainings and Narcan events, Clear Horizons embodies the philosophy that community well-being begins with collaboration. "Mental health isn't just what happens in therapy," Dr. Rosario says. "It's also showing love and support in the community." Redefining Resilience As the conversation winds down, Dr. Rosario reflects on his own journey — from a childhood marked by loss and hardship to leading a thriving organization that transforms lives. "I was born addicted to drugs," he shares openly. "My parents died when I was two. I faced every disadvantage, but I refused to become a product of my environment." Today, his message is clear: resilience is not about perfection — it's about purpose. "Once you get through it," he says, "you can finally breathe. And when you breathe, you can help others do the same." Learn more on their website: https://chfcounselingroups.com/, follow them on Facebook, or call (540) 583-3211.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the manufactured cancer crisis as the FDA recalls over half a million bottles of blood pressure pills contaminated with cancer causing chemicals. The pills under the brand names Minipress and Prazin contained nitrosamine impurities risking 580,000 people. This "contamination" seems to happen all the time. Remember the Johnson&Johnson cover-up regarding baby powder which only came out after a massive lawsuit. It was exposed that J&J KNEW the baby powder caused cancer. Then there is SV40 found in many childhood vaccines as well as the confirmation by Moderna that the mRNA covid injections caused cancer. A cancer causing drug which has been banned in almost every country on earth continues to be allowed in pork within the United States. Carbadox is a drug given to pigs which is incredibly carcinogenic, yet here we are. Despite the United States government being fully aware of the dangers, it continues to be used in pork on a mass scale with no way to actually track which pork has it and which pork doesn't. While the FDA claims to be cracking down on unapproved fluoride supplements for children, they ignore the health crisis that is fluoride (hydrofluocilisic acid) in the tap water, poisoning people through both drinking and showering in the water. The FDA is also fast tracking self amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu and approved 10 new kids of mRNA vaccines for children ages 6 months to 10 years old. How is this a so-called "rebellious FDA?" This is a worldwide problem. NHS hospitals are purposely serving cancer causing foods right next to oncology departments. There is a concerted effort to make people sick and weak in order to be more easily controlled as well as more easily lead into a technocratic digital ID based hell. Currently, the US government is funding 500 million dollars towards an AI agenda which includes Larry Ellison's mRNA cancer vaccine push. This is not a solution and makes a bad problem worse. There are real world solutions out there for cancer but we aren't allowed to talk about them without risking prison time despite countless world renowned scientists backing the solutions, not to mention millions of testimonies.

Unfocused. Not living up to potential. Dr. G thought that about himself for decades… until at 41, he discovered he actually has ADHD. Suddenly the lost keys, unfinished projects, chronic lateness, sensory overwhelm, and shame all made sense. In this intimate solo episode, Dr. G breaks down the neuroscience of adult ADHD, the trauma-based model Gabor Maté teaches, why the default mode network hijacks focus, how stimulant medications impact dopamine long term, and the lifestyle + supplement strategies backed by research. In This Episode: • How ADHD shows up in adults (and why it gets mislabeled as character flaws) • Why high-functioning people go decades without knowing they have ADHD • What the brain science actually reveals about focus, motivation & time perception • The Gabor Maté trauma model — ADHD as adaptation vs disorder • The stimulant conversation: benefits, risks, and dependency realities • Lifestyle anchors that support the ADHD brain (sleep times, routines, movement) • Research-backed supplements that can help support attention Key Takeaways: ✅ ADHD isn't laziness — it's neurodevelopment + nervous system wiring ✅ Trauma in childhood shapes time perception and attention patterns ✅ Medication can help, but informed consent is essential ✅ Exercise, structure, breathwork, and key nutrients truly support regulation ✅ Compassion — not shame — is what actually unlocks change Timestamps: 0:00 - Discovering I Have ADHD at 41 1:04 - My Entire Life Suddenly Made Sense 2:39 - The Idyllwild Moment: How I Found Out 4:45 - Everyone Knew But Me 7:31 - The Real Science Behind ADHD 13:56 - Childhood Signs I Missed 17:31 - What ADHD Actually Is (Not Laziness) 19:33 - Gabor Maté: ADHD as Adaptation to Stress 22:39 - Breaking Free from Shame 24:03 - The Truth About Adderall & Stimulants 26:49 - Natural Tools That Actually Help 28:15 - My Action Plan Moving Forward

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show!In this solo episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most talked-about topics in wellness right now, GLP-1 medications, including Ozempic, Wegovy, and semaglutide. There's a lot of information (and misinformation) circulating about these drugs, and I want to explain how they actually work, when they can be incredibly effective, and when they can cause more harm than good.I break down the glucose-insulin connection, what insulin resistance really means, and why inflammation often begins with blood sugar imbalance. I also share how these medications can be used as a powerful tool for improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and supporting hormone balance, when used thoughtfully and at the right time.In this episode, I discuss:How glucose and insulin function together to fuel your bodyWhat happens when insulin resistance develops and why it leads to fatigue, weight gain, and inflammationHow GLP-1 medications like semaglutide work to increase insulin sensitivityWhy microdosing or using the lowest therapeutic dose can be safer and more effectiveThe difference between short-term weight loss and long-term metabolic healthCommon side effects and how to avoid them with proper dosing and timingThe importance of building muscle and eating enough protein before starting a GLP-1 medicationHow these medications can reduce “food noise” and improve mental clarityThe unexpected benefits for hormone balance, PCOS, and menopause symptomsWhy GLP-1s should be seen as a supportive tool, not a quick fixWhether you're curious about GLP-1 medications for weight management, inflammation, or metabolic health, this episode will help you understand how to use them in a way that truly supports your body's healing process.https://www.thekinneyclinic.com/book

his week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor tackle the biggest listener questions about sustainable weight loss, metabolic health, and why restrictive diets so often backfire. From medications like GLP-1s to common myths about exercise and nutrition, this episode delivers practical science and down-to-earth advice for anyone struggling with their weight and/or health.Dr. Cooper breaks down why obesity is a physical sign of underlying metabolic dysfunction and sets the record straight about what really works for long-term health—spoiler: it's not endless calorie counting or exercise alone. Listeners from around the world share their struggles and triumphs, and Dr. Cooper explains the roles of genetics, “food noise,” dealing with hypoglycemia, and the best ways to fuel your body.Key Questions Answered:Can someone with obesity achieve lasting weight loss without medication? Why don't diets and exercise alone work long-term?What is reactive hypoglycemia after gastric bypass, and how should it be managed?How can people with limited access to healthcare still improve metabolic health?What is “food noise,” and how do new medications target the brain's hunger and satiety signals?Should people use calorie restriction or focus on fueling their bodies for better metabolic health?Key Takeaways:Obesity is best understood as a physical sign of metabolic disease, not a personal failure.There is no diet or exercise program shown to sustain long-term weight loss for those with obesity—medical therapies are usually necessary. Caloric restriction and exercise without medical intervention can slow metabolism and drive weight regain (the “diet backlash” effect). Good metabolic health is possible at any body size. Nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress management are essential but cannot, by themselves, reverse obesity.Medications like GLP-1s can help “quiet” food noise by restoring healthy communication between the gut and brain.Lifestyle strategies support metabolic function but aren't strong enough to reverse metabolic disease alone. Focus on eating regular meals, balanced nutrients, and fueling your activity—not on perfection or restriction.Dr. Cooper's Actionable Tips:Find a clinician who listens and is curious about your health, not just weight or calorie intake.Don't be pressured to take medication if you feel healthy and have good lab results, regardless of your weight.Fuel your body consistently with a mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs—perfection isn't necessary.Prioritize sleep and stress management, as both are critical for metabolism.Notable Quote:"There is no diet or exercise program that leads to long-term weight loss in someone with obesity. There isn't. Any time you're introducing that restriction you're opening the door to what's called metabolic adaptation, a slowing of the metabolic system. Why would you want to do that? If your whole goal is to strengthen the metabolic system, why would we want to introduce something that's been proven scientifically to slow the metabolic system down?" — Dr. Emily CooperResources from the episode:Fat Science is your source for understanding why metabolic health—not weight alone—matters more than ever.

Lately, it feels like everyone is talking about food noise. Thanks to GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, "food noise" has become the latest buzzword — and the newest thing people believe needs to be fixed with medication. But here's the truth: most people don't have a medical disorder that causes food noise. They have a body and mind that feel unsafe. Food noise isn't a disease — it's a signal. It's your body saying, "I don't trust you to feed me." In this week's episode, Deanna breaks down what's really behind constant thoughts about food, why medicating symptoms doesn't fix the cause, and what it actually takes to quiet food noise naturally — no prescription required. In this episode — "How to Stop Food Noise Without Medication" — you'll learn:

In this Facebook Live episode, Shana shares how she naturally lowered her total cholesterol by 58 points and LDL by 41 points in just 11 weeks—without statins—by addressing insulin resistance and easily adding 7 different fibers with the Feel Great System. You'll learn what causes "high" cholesterol beyond diet, how insulin and inflammation play a bigger role than fat intake, and how strategic nutrients like soluble fibers, phytosterols, and chlorogenic acid improve both lipid and glucose metabolism. What You'll Learn The real root of high cholesterol: insulin resistance and poor metabolic signaling. Why statins don't fix insulin resistance—and what they actually do. How Balance (soluble fiber matrix) supports healthy LDL, satiety, and blood sugar control. Guar gum, beta-glucans, gum arabic, citrus pectin → lower LDL, stabilize glucose, support gut microbiota. Phytosterols → reduce LDL and raise HDL. Chromium → enhances insulin sensitivity, reduces sugar cravings. Niacin → supports HDL and energy metabolism How Unimate (yerba mate extract) enhances GLP-1, focus, and fat metabolism. Chlorogenic acid → reduces LDL/triglycerides, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports mitochondrial energy. Theobromine → improves HDL/LDL ratio, boosts mood and alertness without jitters. Mate saponins and polyphenols → lower visceral fat, protect the liver, and calm inflammation How improving GLP-1 naturally helps you feel full longer, lose weight, and stabilize blood sugar. Simple lifestyle rhythms—light, sleep, meal timing—that magnify your results. Key Takeaways Fixing insulin resistance improves both cholesterol and blood sugar markers. The Feel Great System is listed in the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) and backed by published studies. You can partner with your clinician to explore reducing or avoiding cholesterol meds as metabolic health improves. Supporting GLP-1 naturally with Feel Great can mimic some benefits of popular medications—without side effects. Products Mentioned

“It's kind of a miracle, frankly,” says Dr. John Buse, a distinguished professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, referring to the effectiveness of GLP-1 receptor agonist medications such as Ozempic in treating type 2 diabetes, promoting significant weight loss, and reducing cardiovascular risk. As a physician scientist for the last three decades at UNC, Dr. Buse has played a key role in ushering in this new era of diabetes care, leading or participating in over 200 clinical studies on this class of drugs and others. “Nothing has impacted diabetes care like the GLP-1 receptor agonists. I have lots of patients whose diabetes was never well controlled who have seen all their metabolic problems essentially resolved.”  In this fascinating conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Buse not only explains how these drugs work, but also provides a clear-eyed look at side effects, and addresses issues of cost and access. Join us for the remarkable story – including the role played by Gila monsters -- behind one of the biggest developments in medicine over the past several years from a world renowned diabetes researcher and clinician. Mentioned in this episode:UNC School of Medicine If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

All around you, Healthcare leadership continues to lean on familiar solutions: more education, more empowerment, more reminders to improve adherence. It sounds polite,nonthreatening, and promising. But it's also a comfortable excuse that obscures a deeper, systemic failure. Because the truth is: medication adherence—our most basic measure of patient engagement—remains stubbornly low. Despite decades of well-meaning interventions, the problem persists. This isn't a patient failure. It's a system failure. 

 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that cause airflow obstruction and other respiratory problems. There are various options for treating COPD, including the highly effective controller medication that helps improve a patient's lung function in the long-term. But as Antonio R. Anzueto, MD, professor of pulmonary and critical care at the University of Texas Health, San Antonio, explains, it is not easy for patients to use these medications. Listen as Dr. Anzueto and host Amy Attaway, MD, Cleveland Clinic, discuss the effectiveness of different COPD treatments, how COPD can affect other organs, and how AI might play into diagnosing COPD as technology advances. Support for this podcast is brought to you by Viatris and Theravance BioPharma. 

Have you ever wondered what it's like to practice Addiction Medicine? In this episode I speak about what we do in Addiction Medicine - both generally as well as how we do things in our practice on the Central Coast of California. I share how our clinic treats substance use with low‑barrier access, kind care, peer support, and long‑acting injectables while partnering with therapists to address trauma and ADHD that often drive relapse. I also review two cases that reveal how PTSD and undiagnosed ADHD change the treatment plan and the outcome.Topics Discussed:• What an addiction medicine visit includes  • Medications for alcohol and opioid use disorder  • The "three‑legged stool" of meds, therapy, and groups to treat addiction• Levels of care and smooth transitions  • Dual diagnosis as the rule, not the exception  • Low‑barrier access through walk‑ins and telemedicine  • Person‑first language to reduce stigma  • Peer support as lived‑experience expertise  • Long‑acting injectables to boost adherence  • Mobile street medicine and carceral care partnershipsTo contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Over-the-counter (OTC) pain and fever medications are widely used despite having marginal efficacy and significant side effects that hospitalize hundreds of thousands of Americans each year While a widespread practice, using these medications to reduce fevers has long been controversial, both due to their toxicity and the notion that fevers are essential for health During the 1918 Influenza pandemic, one of the most critical lessons was that avoiding fever suppression was vital for protecting patients from dying While considered the “safest” option, Tylenol has a wide range of issues, including liver damage, gastrointestinal issues, blood cancers, and kidney injuries An extensive body of data connects using Tylenol during pregnancy or in infancy to the development of neurological injuries (e.g., autism). Many of these tragic cases illustrate a longstanding observation within natural medicine — suppressing superficial reactions (e.g., fevers) can transform illnesses into chronic ailments that can cause far more issues

What if everything you thought GLP-1s were for—was just the beginning? I sit down with Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, a board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist with over 15 years of experience prescribing GLP-1s, to explore what these medications are really doing in the body. Whether you're already taking Ozempic or Wegovy, considering starting, or just curious, this conversation will change how you think about metabolism, hormones, and health. Dr. Salas-Whalen explains how GLP-1s go far beyond appetite suppression and weight loss—they can impact fertility, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and even how your brain responds to addictive cravings and stress. You'll also hear how body composition, not BMI, is the future of metabolic health, and what to ask your doctor before starting GLP-1s.
