GLP-1 drugs were first approved to treat diabetes and then caused a frenzy when it was discovered they were great for weight loss. But now scientists are discovering the drugs that have brand names including Ozempic and Mounjaro might offer so much more, from reducing the risk of heart attack to treating kidney disease. Today, Doctor Paul Joyce, a pharmaceutical scientist at Adelaide University on how Ozempic is shaking things up, again. Featured: Doctor Paul Joyce, a pharmaceutical scientist at Adelaide University

Leki z grupy analogów GLP-1 wzbudzają dziś ogromne emocje. Jedni widzą w nich przełom w leczeniu otyłości, inni zarzucają pacjentom, że szukają drogi na skróty i podążają za modą. Jak jest naprawdę? Dlaczego tak wiele prób odchudzania kończy się niepowodzeniem, a jeść mniej i więcej się ruszać, to może być za mało? Czy leki takie jak Ozempic czy Mounjaro mają całkowicie zablokować apetyt? I czy powinniśmy się obawiać skutków ubocznych i długofalowych konsekwencji ich przyjmowania? Jaką rolę odgrywa białko podczas terapii oraz co może się wydarzyć, gdy po te leki sięgają osoby bez wskazań medycznych? O nowoczesnym leczeniu otyłości rozmawiamy z autorkami książki„Lżej. Jak mądrze i skutecznie korzystać z leków GLP-1 oraz zmienić nawyki na lepsze ” obesitolożką Anną Sankowską – Dobrowolską i dietetyczką Oliwią Poniatowską.

GLP-1 stopped working? Or is your body trying to tell you something deeper?In this episode, Kylie unpacks the REAL reason so many women hit a weight loss plateau while taking Ozempic, Mounjaro, Semaglutide or Tirzepatide… and why the answer is NOT always “eat less” or “increase your dose.”You'll learn: • Why GLP-1 plateaus happen • The hidden danger of losing muscle while dieting • How chronic stress and cortisol can stall fat loss • Why blood sugar regulation matters more than calories alone • The truth about “metabolic damage” • How under-eating protein can slow your progress • Why your nervous system affects the scale more than you think • The biggest mistakes women make when their appetite drops • How to support your metabolism WITHOUT spirallingThis episode is a must-listen for women over 40 who feel frustrated, stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or scared that their body has “stopped responding.”Because your body isn't broken, babe. It's adapting.And once you understand what's really happening beneath the surface… everything changes.
Quando si parla di Ozempic, Wegovy e Mounjaro, quasi tutti si concentrano sulla stessa cosa: il peso che scende.Ma c'è una domanda molto più interessante che quasi nessuno si pone. Cosa succede quando questi farmaci vengono abbinati alla dieta chetogenica?Perché sulla carta sembra una combinazione perfetta. Entrambi aiutano a controllare la glicemia. Entrambi migliorano la sensibilità insulinica.Entrambi possono favorire il dimagrimento. Eppure proprio qui si nasconde uno degli errori più pericolosi ⚠️ In questo episodio il Dott. Lorenzo Vieri analizza una delle combinazioni più discusse degli ultimi anni: dieta chetogenica e farmaci GLP-1 agonisti come Ozempic, Wegovy e Mounjaro.Scoprirai perché questa strategia può dare risultati estremamente interessanti, ma anche perché può trasformarsi rapidamente in un problema se non viene gestita correttamente. Perché il rischio non è soltanto perdere peso. Il rischio è perdere troppo peso, troppo in fretta e soprattutto perdere massa muscolare
One of the biggest questions people ask about GLP-1 medications is:“What happens if I stop taking it?”Whether you're taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, you may have concerns about losing insurance coverage, reaching your goal weight, medication costs, long-term use, or the possibility of regaining weight in the future.In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna breaks down what the research actually shows about stopping a GLP-1 medication, the factors that influence weight regain, and what you can start doing now to support long-term success.We're covering:What happens when you stop a GLP-1 medicationWhether weight regain is inevitableWhy hunger and food noise may change after discontinuationCommon myths about stopping Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and ZepboundWhy willpower is not the solutionThe habits that support long-term weight maintenanceWhat to do if you lose access to your medicationHow to think about weight regain without shame or fearIf you've ever worried about what happens after a GLP-1, this episode will help you approach the conversation with more knowledge, less fear, and a realistic plan for the future.
A headline like “weight loss drugs may reduce breast cancer risk” grabs attention fast, but the real story lives in the fine print. We take you through a new Penn Medicine study that observed lower breast cancer rates among women with overweight or obesity who used GLP-1 medications, then we translate what that finding actually means in plain language. Observational data can reveal a signal worth studying, but it cannot prove the medication caused the outcome, and that distinction matters for your decisions and your expectations. We also zoom out to the bigger why: obesity is not just about body size. Fat tissue is biologically active, shaping chronic inflammation, estrogen exposure after menopause, insulin resistance, and even how well the immune system spots abnormal cells. Those pathways help explain why obesity is linked to many cancers, including postmenopausal breast cancer, and why researchers are curious whether effective obesity treatment could shift risk over time. Then we get practical. We review what stronger evidence from randomized controlled trials says so far: GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound do not appear to increase breast cancer risk in the available trial data, even though most trials were not designed to study cancer outcomes for many years. We also discuss why newer studies seem most suggestive for hormone receptor positive breast cancer, along with the leading theories: weight loss itself, improved metabolic health and insulin signaling, reduced inflammation, and the still-unclear possibility of direct GLP-1 effects in cancer biology.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois le Docteur Laurent Chevallier, médecin nutritionniste et auteur de Maigrir avec les nouveaux médicaments : révolution ou poison ?, pour parler d'un sujet qui déchaîne les débats depuis quelques années : les médicaments anti-obésité : les fameux GLP-1, Ozempic, Mounjaro. On les entend partout, on voit des stars en faire la promo, et pourtant on comprend rarement ce qu'ils font vraiment dans le corps, à qui ils s'adressent, et ce qu'ils ne règlent pas.Ce qui m'a frappée dans cet échange, c'est à quel point la question du poids est biologiquement complexe, bien au-delà du "mange moins, bouge plus" qu'on entend encore trop souvent.Dans cet épisode, on parle de :Pourquoi il est si difficile de maigrir, et ce que la science dit aujourd'hui sur la mémoire métaboliqueCe que sont vraiment les analogues GLP-1 : leur mécanisme d'action, leur histoire, et pourquoi ils ont d'abord été développés pour le diabèteLes trois effets concrets de ces médicaments : glycémie, estomac, cerveauCe qu'on perd vraiment quand on perd du poids rapidement : muscles, os, micronutrimentsLes carences silencieuses auxquelles faire attention et pourquoi les autres médicaments qu'on prend peuvent aussi être perturbésLes effets secondaires mineurs et les risques plus sérieuxPourquoi les critères actuels de prescription (IMC, poids) sont insuffisants et ce qu'il faudrait regarder à la placeCe qui se passe quand on arrête : les chiffres sur la reprise de poidsLa question des nouvelles formes orales à venir, et pourquoi le Dr Chevallier reste prudentLe rôle des perturbateurs endocriniens, des aliments ultratransformés et du stress dans l'obésitéCe que le Dr Chevallier prescrit vraiment et dans quelles situations précisesPourquoi il défend une médecine de prévention plutôt qu'une médecine de rattrapageEt vous : est-ce que cet épisode change votre regard sur ces médicaments ou sur la question du poids en général ?

DC EKG with Joe GroganThe Economics of Ozempic and Other Weight Loss DrugsEpisode 136.5 (“Prescription Refill” – A replay from the archives)Original Air Date: May 2024In this episode, Joe Grogan welcomes Ben Ippolito, Senior Fellow in Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, to discuss the rapidly evolving economics of GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.Ben explains the two main competitors in this market—Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy versus Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound. Revealing how insurance coverage decisions drive pharmaceutical marketing strategy.The conversation reveals a critical irrationality in Medicare policy: the statutory prohibition on covering weight loss drugs despite their profound clinical and quality-of-life benefits. Yet these same drugs are covered for diabetes and cardiovascular risk reduction.Ben explores the surprising economics of drug pricing through gross-to-net pricing—the massive gap between list prices and what insurers actually pay through rebates and discounts.The episode examines critical implications of the Inflation Reduction Act's price negotiation provisions. Once Medicare negotiates Ozempic's price, that same price applies to all products using the same active ingredient. This creates cascading market effects: competitors must match those prices to remain on formularies, new entrants face lower pricing power even if clinically superior, and pharmaceutical companies may abandon promising programs due to regulatory uncertainty.Ben argues Congress doesn't need to act immediately to expand Medicare coverage, but likely will within a few years.Joe and Ben discuss unintended consequences of government price regulation, including effects on innovation and drug development pipelines. They explore how price controls announced before elections affect pharmaceutical strategy and development timelines.Concluding with Ben's research on Medicare Advantage and why both Democrats and Republicans scrutinize this private alternative to traditional Medicare. With over 50 percent of seniors enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, bipartisan interest in reform is reshaping healthcare policy conversations on Capitol Hill.Key TopicsGLP-1 drugs, Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, weight loss medications, obesity treatment, Medicare coverage, drug pricing, Inflation Reduction Act, pharmaceutical competition, rebates, gross-to-net pricing, health economics, cardiovascular benefits, diabetes treatment, Medicare Advantage, healthcare policy, innovation incentivesKey Timestamps00:00 Cold Open: "Turned Up to 11"00:24 Welcome to DC EKG00:46 Meet Ben Ippolito (AEI)03:48 The GLP-1 Landscape: Ozempic, Wegovy, and the Field05:04 One Drug, Two Names06:45 Medicare's Weight-Loss Coverage Ban07:21 Blockbusters and Big Effect Sizes09:32 Why Isn't Congress Acting?10:17 Why It Costs Less Than You Think12:34 The Coverage Irrationality14:05 Quality of Life as a Real Benefit15:17 Beyond Weight: Cravings and Addiction18:21 Devil's Advocate: Why Cover It At All?19:48 Gross-to-Net and the Rebate Problem22:41 Why Can't You Just Pay Cash?25:43 The IRA and the Ozempic Price Cut27:32 One Ingredient, One Price30:10 Unintended Consequences in Part D34:01 New Competitors and Killed Programs38:03 What's Next: Medicare Advantage42:04 Wrap-Up and CreditsAbout the Guest(As of May 2024) Ben Ippolito is a Senior Fellow in Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses research showing simple strength tests—grip strength and a five-rep sit-to-stand chair test—predict longevity in older women. In a University at Buffalo study of over 5,000 women ages 63–99 followed for eight years, stronger grip and faster chair-stand times were linked to lower mortality; every additional 7 kg of grip strength corresponded to a 12% reduction in death risk, and faster chair-stands were also associated with improved survival, even after adjusting for activity, cardiovascular fitness, and inflammation. She emphasizes prioritizing muscle-strengthening alongside aerobic exercise and suggests accessible resistance options (weights, bodyweight moves, or household items) with professional guidance as needed. She then cites UK Biobank data linking long-term statin use to declines in grip strength and appendicular lean mass, urging discussion with physicians and added vigilance, especially for those also using GLP-1 drugs that may reduce protein intake and muscle mass.

Irresistible You: Lose the Emotional Weight | Body Image | Confidence | Weight Loss
In this episode, I'm talking honestly about weight loss burnout. The mental exhaustion that comes from constantly thinking about food, planning meals, trying to “be good,” starting over, tracking, and feeling like your body is always a project that needs fixing.I also share what this experience has been like for me while being on Tirzepatide. The food noise is quieter, but now I find myself in this strange in-between space where I'm hungry, but nothing sounds good. I take a few bites and feel full… while somehow still feeling hungry at the same time. And honestly? I'm tired.This episode isn't anti-weight loss. It's about what happens when your entire life starts revolving around shrinking yourself, and the realization that maybe peace matters too.Because you deserve a life bigger than calorie counting.Show Notes
Losing weight on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro but feeling bloated, constipated, and miserable? There's a reason, and a new Mayo Clinic study finally proves it.76% of patients on GLP-1s tested positive for SIBO. 91% had methane overgrowth. Dr. Kenneth Brown breaks down why these drugs turn your small intestine into a swamp, why your microbiome decides if the drug even works, and the exact protocol to fix it without quitting the medication.If you're on a GLP-1 or thinking about it, watch this first.

Does Eli Lilly already have the solve for obesity? In this episode of On the Pen — the Weekly Dose Podcast, host Dave Knapp breaks down a stunning comment from Lilly's Chief Scientific Officer Daniel Skowronski, who suggested that obesity could become a solved disease within just a few generations of innovation.What does that mean for the millions of patients still fighting for access to GLP-1 medications like Zepbound, Mounjaro, and tirzepatide? And what is Lilly seeing in its pipeline that the rest of us can't?We dig into:Lilly's decision to stop disclosing its Phase 1 pipelineThe Camurus fluid crystal technology deal and what it means for long-acting GLP-1sEloralintide — Lilly's selective amylin agonist and potential dark horse in obesity medicineHow eloralintide compares to Novo Nordisk's cagrilintideWhy the future of obesity treatment is a toolbox, not a scoreboardThe access crisis: prior authorizations, insurance exclusions, Medicare, and Medicaid coverage gapsRetatrutide, quintuple agonists, and what's coming out of ADA 2026If you're on Zepbound, Wegovy, Ozempic, or any GLP-1 medication — or you're waiting for the next generation of obesity drugs — this episode is for you.
In this episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio, Ben sits down with Dr. Angie Sadeghi for an in-depth conversation on GLP-1 medications, gut health, digestion, fiber, and the growing confusion surrounding modern nutrition advice.Dr. Sadeghi explains how medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro actually work, why they've been so effective for appetite regulation and metabolic health, and what the research really says about concerns like muscle loss and long-term safety. The discussion also dives into insulin resistance, intramuscular fat, and why she believes many people have been misled about carbohydrates and fiber for years.Ben and Dr. Sadeghi explore why most Americans are severely lacking in fiber intake, the differences between soluble and insoluble fiber, and how gut health is often oversimplified online. They also discuss probiotics, fermented foods, microbiome testing, digestive discomfort during transitions to plant-based eating, and why Dr. Sadeghi no longer recommends the FODMAP diet for most patients.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Sadeghi shares practical insights from years of clinical experience helping patients improve their digestion, body composition, metabolic health, and long-term quality of life.
GLP-1 weight loss is about so much more than just the number on the scale.If you're taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound and feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, conflicted, or even surprised by how much this journey is affecting your mindset—you are not alone.In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna dives into the mental and emotional side of GLP-1 weight loss that almost nobody talks about.We're covering:How GLP-1 medications can change your relationship with foodWhat “food noise” is and why reduced food thoughts can feel emotionalWhy body image struggles don't automatically disappear with weight lossThe pressure of social media transformation cultureFear of weight regain and “what if this stops working?” thoughtsWhy needing a GLP-1 does not mean you failedIdentity shifts that can happen during major body changesHow to build a healthier mindset around sustainable weight lossWhether you're newly starting Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound—or deep into your GLP-1 journey—this episode is a reminder that your mental health matters too.Because sustainable health is not just about shrinking your body. It's about supporting your whole self.
In this episode, we break down the science behind GLP-1 medications including Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, semaglutide, and tirzepatide. Learn how GLP-1 weight loss medications work, their role in appetite suppression, insulin regulation, metabolic health, obesity treatment, and type 2 diabetes management.This evidence-based discussion explores GLP-1 benefits, side effects, muscle loss concerns, weight regain after stopping medication, nutrition considerations, digestion, metabolic adaptation, and sustainable wellness strategies. If you're considering GLP-1 medications or simply want a smarter conversation about obesity medicine, weight loss, longevity, and metabolic health, this episode delivers a clinically grounded wellness perspective.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound are changing the conversation around obesity and weight loss — but there's one major problem: most people are starting these medications with little to no guidance on how to properly nourish their body while taking them.And that matters.Because while GLP-1s can be incredibly effective tools for weight loss, they can also lead to muscle loss, under-eating, fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and long-term metabolic issues when nutrition is neglected.In today's episode, I'm breaking down the biggest nutrition mistakes people make on GLP-1 medications — and exactly how to protect your metabolism, preserve muscle, maintain energy, and build sustainable habits while losing weight.We'll cover:- Why protein becomes non-negotiable on GLP-1 medications- How much protein you actually need- The hidden dangers of under-eating- Why rapid weight loss can harm your metabolism- How to preserve muscle while losing fat- The critical role of strength training- What to do if you have no appetite- Tips for nausea and food aversions- How to create sustainable eating habits while on GLP-1s- Rebuilding a healthier relationship with foodThis episode is especially important if you've ever thought:“I'm barely eating… so why do I feel exhausted?”“Why am I losing muscle instead of just fat?”“How do I hit my protein goals when I'm never hungry?”GLP-1 medications are not magic — but when combined with proper nutrition and lifestyle support, they can become powerful tools for long-term health.If you're currently taking a GLP-1 medication, considering one, or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen.And if you're looking for support along your journey, Dr. Sasha High and I would love to welcome you into our women's coaching program, Best Weight, where we openly discuss treatment options like GLP-1 medications and help women build sustainable, healthy weight loss habits together.

Constipation is a huge pain in the ass... and if you're not having at least 1 to 2 bowel movements a day, you're on the "constipation spectrum." Long term opioid use, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and the newer weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro all slow your gut and put you on the same path that killed Elvis Presley. So does chronic stress, mold exposure, parasites, and the kind of inflammation that drives most cases of IBS, Crohn's, and ulcerative colitis.

We kick this one off the way we always do — just talking. Paul's lupus is somehow in the best shape it's ever been despite a stretch of travel, stress, and general chaos, which honestly tracks.He also got a new puppy named Charlie — a supposedly golden retriever who came out black, so there are some questions there. I'm reading my first fiction book in years (Dungeon Crawler Carl, it's actually great), heading to Vancouver to see my girlfriend, and planning a trip back to Connecticut to see family and let my mom dye my hair icy blonde. Normal stuff.Then we get into the actual topic: GLP-1 medications. These things are everywhere right now — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro — and whether you're curious, currently using one, or coaching someone who is, this episode is worth your time. Paul did his research (he called it extensive, I'll let you be the judge), and we break down what GLP-1s actually are, what glucagon-like peptide-1 does in the body, and why these medications work across multiple pathways — not just appetite suppression.We talk about who actually benefits from GLP-1s, because it's not a blanket answer. We get into food noise — that constant mental chatter around food that a lot of people don't even realize they have until it goes quiet — and why that alone can be life-changing for certain people. We also get real about the risks, the cost reality (most people are paying out of pocket), the side effects, and what the research actually shows versus what's being hyped on social media.The part I think matters most: what happens when you come off them. This is where lifestyle, meal structure, and habits become non-negotiable. The medication quiets hunger — it doesn't build the skills. That part is still on you. We talk through how we approach this with our own clients and what the off-ramp actually looks like when it's done right.Paul's IG: @paulbuonoChapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates07:27 Understanding GOP-1 Medications20:06 Who Can Benefit from GOP-1s?22:27 The Importance of Lifestyle Changes with GOP-1s26:25 Understanding Food Noise and Its Implications27:28 Risks and Considerations of GLP-1 Medications29:53 When to Consider Coming Off GLP-1 Medications32:53 Side Effects and Management of GLP-1 Medications36:42 Preparing for Life After GLP-1 Medications42:24 Personal Updates and Future Plans

Dr. Michael Stubblefield is a cancer rehabilitation expert and Dr. Joseph Dayan is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who has pioneered techniques to ease lymphedema with surgery. They're both very interested in how the GLP-1 medicines, like Ozempic, Wegovey, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Victoza, and Trulicity — just to name a few — could be used to manage lymphedema. Listen to the episode to hear Drs. Stubblefield and Dayan explain: how common lymphedema is among people with breast cancer current lymphedema treatments how the new study using a GLP-1 medicine to treat lymphedema came about what we know right now about GLP-1 medicines and breast cancer treatments
Dealing with constipation, nausea, or bloating on a GLP-1 like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound?You are definitely not alone.Digestive side effects are some of the most common challenges people experience on GLP-1 medications—but there's a huge difference between expected side effects and feeling miserable all the time.In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna breaks down the science behind GLP-1 digestive side effects, including why they happen, what evidence-based strategies can actually help, and the biggest mistakes that may be making symptoms worse.We're covering:Why GLP-1 medications can cause constipation, nausea, and bloatingHow delayed gastric emptying impacts digestionWhy under-eating can actually worsen side effectsWhat to eat when nausea makes food unappealingEvidence-based strategies for constipation reliefHow hydration and meal structure affect symptomsThe truth about fiber on GLP-1sWhen side effects are no longer considered “normal”The social media advice you should probably ignoreWhether you're taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, this episode will help you better understand what's happening in your body—and how to support your digestion without extreme restriction or fear.
"The Doctor Is Not Always Right" Hein Van Eck is a healthcare actuary by training, a breed of thinker who sits at the intersection of data, ethics, and human behavior. He started in insurance in South Africa, was handed his career-defining job after answering a single ethical question correctly, and has spent the last 20 years on the provider side watching an industry transform in real time. He moved to Dubai in 2014 and hasn't stood still since. As CEO of Mediclinic Middle East, Hein oversees six hospitals, 27 clinics, 4,000 babies born annually, and a workforce of doctors recruited from around the world not by headhunters, but by hospital directors who fly to the UK in winter specifically to sit across a candidate and ask: would I feel comfortable if this person treated my family? That detail tells you everything about how he leads. This conversation goes places most healthcare interviews don't. Hein talks honestly about the agency problem at the heart of modern medicine doctor has the knowledge, patient consumes, insurer pays and what happens when that system breaks down. He explains why Ozempic and Mounjaro might genuinely extend lives, not just shrink waistlines. He reveals an AI model that predicts, with 95% accuracy, which patient won't show up to their appointment. And he shares his vision of what a hospital looks like in ten years: a theatre complex, an ICU, and almost everything else happening at home. If you think Dubai healthcare is second-tier, this conversation will change your mind.

Patrick Bet-David and Dr Paul Saladino react to Charles Barkley's claim that he dropped about 85 pounds on a GLP‑1 drug similar to Mounjaro, going from the mid 350s down to the 260s in his early 60s. They acknowledge that for someone who will not change diet or lifestyle, getting 80 pounds off with a GLP‑1 is almost certainly safer than staying morbidly obese, but warn that these drugs were never meant to replace real food and movement and will likely need to be taken for life to keep the weight off.
What happens when a doctor starts questioning the very system he was trained in? In this eye-opening and deeply important conversation, Darin Olien sits down with physician and metabolic health expert Dr. Dan Reardon to unpack the exploding GLP-1 weight loss drug phenomenon, the collapse of foundational health principles, and the dangerous trend of masking chronic disease instead of addressing root causes. Together, they dive into protein myths, obesity culture, pharmaceutical incentives, body positivity, metabolic dysfunction, chronic disease, and the growing "Wild West" of weight-loss injections like semaglutide and Mounjaro. But this conversation goes much deeper than weight loss. Dr. Reardon reveals his revolutionary focus on "deprescribing" medications—helping patients safely come off statins, blood pressure medications, psychiatric drugs, and GLP-1 injections by restoring the body's innate healing systems. This episode is a powerful exploration of personal sovereignty, metabolic health, medical integrity, and why the human body may be far more intelligent than modern medicine gives it credit for. What You'll Learn Why the current protein obsession may be misunderstood How the body recycles amino acids and adapts to exercise The hidden problems with ultra-high protein consumption Why GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and Mounjaro are raising serious concerns The cultural shift from body positivity to weight-loss injections The pharmaceutical industry's incentives around obesity medications Why most people using GLP-1 drugs are not changing their lifestyle habits The side effects associated with semaglutide and related drugs How chronic disease is often treated symptomatically instead of at the root cause Why Dr. Reardon focuses on "deprescribing" medications The importance of metabolic health and foundational lifestyle medicine How modern medicine often ignores why symptoms are

body is not broken: it is adaptive, intelligent, and constantly responding to the environment it's placed in. Modern medicine often suppresses symptoms without asking why they exist in the first place. Real healing begins when we stop chasing shortcuts, start addressing root causes, and create the conditions for the body to do what it was designed to do all along: heal, regulate, and thrive."
Three new GLP-1 studies, why every food is suddenly "high protein," the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama blowing up Instagram, and why I'm on a ketamine table as you listen. Three new studies just shifted the GLP-1 conversation, and not in the direction women have been hearing about. Chalene digs into what's actually happening to muscle and bone density, why the rebound after coming off matters more than anyone's talking about, and the three questions every woman on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound should bring to her next doctor's appointment. She also gets into why every grocery aisle suddenly screams "high protein," and why this whole moment is starting to feel suspiciously like the Snackwell cookie era. There's a simple protein target that works without tracking macros, and Chalene walks through how she's using it. Then she breaks down the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama that took over Instagram this week. What the shoe brand founder got wrong, what Bethenny got wrong, and the rules of brand partnerships that almost nobody outside the influencer world understands. Finally, a personal update. As you're listening to this, Chalene is on the table for another medically supervised ketamine treatment with Dr. Andrew Levinson. She shares why she went back for a third session, what the last journey taught her about control, and who this kind of work is really for.

This week, This Week in Pharmacy examines several stories shaping the business, clinical, and legal future of pharmacy practice. In TWIRx News from Pharmacy Times from Megan Maroney, PharmD, BCPP, FAAPP, focused on antidepressant use, withdrawal concerns, deprescribing, and shared decision-making. The key takeaway: patients should never stop antidepressants abruptly. Pharmacists can play a vital role in reducing stigma, educating patients, and supporting safe conversations about tapering, side effects, and long-term treatment. In health technology news, FDB research presented at the 2026 AMIA Amplify Informatics Conference found that patient-specific, risk-based medication guidance reduced pharmacy alert volume by 70% in a high-volume community pharmacy setting. The model consolidates alerts into one actionable message tied to the patient's most relevant risk, helping reduce alert fatigue and improve workflow. Finally, we review a federal court ruling in Eli Lilly's lawsuit against Houston-based Empower Pharmacy over compounded tirzepatide versions of Mounjaro and Zepbound. The judge dismissed key federal trademark and Texas unfair competition claims, while allowing other state claims to continue. Andy Crawford, with Keysource is back on TWIRx talking about the U.S. Supreme Court taking up Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. v. Amarin Pharma Inc., a case that could significantly affect generic drug competition. At issue is whether Hikma's marketing materials and public communications around its generic version of Amarin's fish oil-based cardiovascular drug improperly promoted a still-patented use. Hikma and the broader generic industry argue the case is about protecting “skinny label” rules, which allow generics to carve out patented indications while still bringing lower-cost medications to market. For pharmacists, the decision could influence generic availability, substitution confidence, pricing pressure, and how manufacturers communicate with providers and pharmacies. Thanks to our sponsors, CassianRx and IPC, for supporting independent pharmacy, innovation, and the future of patient-centered care.
Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses a listener question about whether agave nectar can contribute to obesity like high-fructose corn syrup, arguing that regular use of sweeteners—including agave, honey, monk fruit, stevia, aspartame, sucralose, allulose, and sugar alcohols—can maintain sweet cravings, spike insulin, and contribute to weight-loss plateaus, with added concerns such as microbiome effects, GI upset, and aspartame's neurotoxicity. She notes insulin's role in fat storage and blood pressure via sodium retention, and suggests that needing a sweetener in coffee or tea may indicate dependence on sweetness. She then covers a newly developed, validated Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ) published in Obesity to measure intrusive food-related rumination, highlighting its five Likert-scale items, study sample characteristics, and the need for further research, including effects of GLP-1 drugs.
Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Save your seat in the free Thyroid and Hormone class https://fixyourthyroid.com/natalie If you are a woman in midlife who has been told everything is fine when you know in your body that something is NOT fine, this episode is going to change everything. I have Dr. Amie Hornaman, The Thyroid Fixer, back on the show, and we are going somewhere we have never gone before. One in eight women will develop a thyroid condition in her lifetime. Eighty-eight percent of us are metabolically unhealthy. And yet most doctors run ONE test, look at one number, tell us we are normal, and send us home with an antidepressant. Meanwhile we are gaining weight, losing our hair, can't sleep, can't think, can't lose a pound to save our lives, and being told it is just stress, just aging, just menopause. Today we are tearing that apart. Dr. Amie saw SEVEN doctors before she was finally diagnosed. She is now licensed to prescribe thyroid and bioidentical hormones in all 50 states and most of Canada. She built the Better Thyroid and Hormone Institute, hosts The Thyroid (and Hormone) Fixer Podcast, and has helped thousands of women globally finally get answers. We go DEEP on: Why the standard TSH-only test misses almost everyone, and the six tests you need to ask for by name THYROPAUSE: Dr. Amie's term for what happens when thyroid dysfunction collides with perimenopause and menopause (and why so many women are being treated for the wrong one) The T4-only medication trap: why Synthroid and levothyroxine fail an estimated 98% of patients Reverse T3, the silent saboteur that blocks your active thyroid hormone from getting into your cells Natural desiccated thyroid, the controversy, FDA scrutiny of animal-derived medications, and where Dr. Amie stands T2: the FORGOTTEN thyroid hormone with 30+ years of research that burns fat at the mitochondrial level, does not suppress your own thyroid, does not jack up your heart rate, does not require a prescription, and is showing up in studies as a potential anti-obesity treatment What Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are actually doing to your thyroid (and why some women lose ZERO weight on GLP-1s no matter how high they push the dose) The estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and insulin connection: why you cannot fix the thyroid without addressing the whole hormonal system Antibody-support strategies: gluten elimination, black cumin seed oil, low-dose naltrexone, and thymosin alpha Iodine titration cautions, medical gaslighting, and what to say when your doctor refuses to run the full panel The Monday morning action plan: exactly what to do this week if you suspect your thyroid is the missing piece This is not a thyroid 101 episode. This is the conversation I wish every midlife woman was given the day her labs came back normal. You are not broken. You are not crazy. And you are not alone.
