Could medications originally designed for diabetes actually help treat addiction, eating disorders, and the biology of cravings?In this part 2 of 2-part episode of Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block sits down with Dr. Sean Wharton, to dig deeper into the science, myths, and emerging uses of GLP-1 agonists. Dr. Wharton explains that these medications don't simply reduce appetite, they calm what he calls “food noise,” the constant mental pull toward eating that many people with obesity experience. This neurological effect has opened the door to exciting possibilities: early research suggests GLP-1 drugs may also reduce cravings for alcohol and other addictive behaviors. Dr. Wharton also clarifies the confusing world of brand names. Ozempic and Wegovy are both semaglutide; Mounjaro and Zepbound are tirzepatide. The differences are largely about FDA indications and insurance coverage, not completely different medications.The episode tackles common fears patients and clinicians hear every day. Do these medications cause eating disorders? No, in fact, they may help treat them. Are the side effects dangerous? Usually not, and most are manageable with proper dosing. Is “Ozempic face” real? It's simply normal fat loss, not a drug-specific problem. Most importantly, Dr. Wharton reinforces a compassionate, evidence-based message: obesity is a chronic, biological disease, and GLP-1 medications are tools to treat it, just like medications for blood pressure or diabetes.Three Actionable TakeawaysGLP-1 Medications Affect the Brain as Much as the Stomach: These drugs reduce “food noise” and cravings, helping patients regain control over eating behaviors. Their impact is neurological, not simply about willpower or restriction.Side Effects Are Real—but Usually Manageable: Nausea, constipation, and GI symptoms are the most common issues, especially early on. Starting low and increasing doses slowly makes treatment far more tolerable.Treatment Decisions Should Be Individualized: Not every patient must stay on these medications forever. Conversations about duration, goals, and expectations should be collaborative and tailored to each person.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

I'm sharing something deeply personal. January is often filled with talk of fresh starts and motivation — but real life doesn't always follow that script. Over the last few weeks, my family has been living through the realities of dementia, loss, and grief, and I wanted to speak honestly about what that has meant for my health, my mindset, and my relationship with food. This episode isn't about perfection. It's about compassion, steadiness, and choosing not to abandon yourself when life feels overwhelming. In this episode, I talk about: Living through dementia and the loss of my dad The emotional weight of care, advocacy, and grief Why binge eating didn't return — even during intense stress Letting go of shame around weight gain Gentle, realistic intentions instead of pressure How creativity supports me right now Why health still matters — even (and especially) in grief If you've experienced dementia, loss, or a season where everything feels heavier than usual, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone. This podcast is free of editing because in life sometimes we have to take the rough with the smooth and not be afraid to show our messy parts.

Dr. Meg Mill, a clinical pharmacist and functional medicine practitioner, joins Dr. Whitfield for a deep dive into the chronic inflammatory conditions he sees daily in his practice. She explains how mast cell activation syndrome develops when your immune system becomes overwhelmed and starts misfiring, reacting to everything from food to water to air. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, where Dr. Whitfield shares his clinical concerns about young, lean women using these powerful medications without understanding the consequences. From his surgical perspective, he's watching patients burn their facial fat and age dramatically while chasing unrealistic body standards promoted by online influencers. Dr. Mill reinforces that real healing requires nervous system work, not just another supplement or drug, and both doctors emphasize the danger of buying compounded medications online when you have no idea what's actually in them.

Irresistible You: Lose the Emotional Weight | Body Image | Confidence | Weight Loss
I recently read something that stopped me in my tracks: being fat robbed me of my femininity.And I haven't been able to shake it.In this episode, I pose a question that came out of a Reddit thread but really speaks to a shared experience so many of us quietly lived: growing up, did femininity ever feel like it wasn't meant for you?I'm sharing my own experiences of being invisible next to friends, being talked about like I wasn't even a person, not being able to shop where other girls shopped, missing out on certain “girlhood” moments, and learning very early on which bodies were allowed to be soft, desired, and feminine and which weren't.We'll talk about how those moments shape us long after childhood, how confidence can coexist with old wounds, and what it actually looks like to take your femininity back without performing it or earning permission.If you've ever felt like girlhood passed you by, or like femininity came with conditions you didn't meet, this episode is for you. You're not alone—and you didn't imagine it.Show Notes!
Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications aren't just changing bodies. They're changing brains too. In this episode, I unpack what's really happening beneath the surface when you take medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. Not from a place of hype or fear-mongering, but from curiosity, neuroscience, and compassion. We talk about how GLP-1s influence hunger, motivation, emotional balance, and even your sense of self, and why so many people are surprised by the mental and emotional shifts that come along with physical weight loss. You'll learn: How GLP-1s interact with dopamine and reward pathways in the brain Why some people experience emotional blunting, reduced motivation, or changes in desire What actually happens when you stop taking them, and why hunger returning isn't failure, weakness, or a lack of discipline The neuroscience behind craving, self-control, and identity What hunger really does for emotional regulation and psychological resilience And just as important, this isn't an episode telling you what you should do. Whether a GLP-1 medication is right for you is a deeply personal decision, one that only you and your doctor can make together based on your body, your health history, and your life. There is no moral hierarchy here. Using a GLP-1 is not cheating, not taking shortcuts, and not something that requires justification or shame. This conversation is about understanding what these medications do to the brain so you can make informed, self-respecting choices, whatever those choices end up being.

Send us a textIn this episode of On The Pen: The Weekly Dose, Dave Knapp breaks down why the idea of over-the-counter GLP-1 medications isn't radical speculation, it's a pattern already in motion. Drawing on FDA signals, past regulatory precedent with Orlistat, recent pricing negotiations, softened safety language, and public comments from pharmaceutical executives, Dave lays out the case that low-dose oral GLP-1s could be the first step toward OTC access. This episode connects the dots between regulation, access, pricing, and normalization of obesity treatment, and explains why the people laughing today may be asking how they missed it tomorrow.
En este episodio junto al Dr. Jorge García entramos de lleno en las grandes contradicciones de la salud moderna.Hablamos de los aciertos y desaciertos de MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) y de cómo muchos discursos bien intencionados terminan chocando con la biología real. Analizamos las contradicciones de la nueva pirámide nutricional.Entramos a fondo en los fármacos GLP-1 como Ozempic y Mounjaro: qué hacen, qué no hacen, para quiénes pueden tener sentido y todo lo que esta en desarrollo.También hablamos de optimización hormonal en hombres y mujeres, por qué requiere precisión y criterio, por qué no recomendamos el uso de pellets hormonales y cuales son las mejores practicas que prometen mayor efectividad y menor riesgo.Abordamos la longevidad desde lo fundamental, con el sueño como pilar no negociable, y cerramos con una verdad incómoda que muchos evitan:para ganar y retener masa muscular no basta con comer proteína; se necesita tensión mecánica real, entrenamiento con pesas y estímulo suficiente.

We also explore the latest research on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, and uncover the sources of the sun's mysterious gamma rays.Life's Building Blocks on TitanA groundbreaking study reveals that Titan, Saturn's largest moon, exhibits unexpected chemical interactions at extremely low temperatures. Researchers found that hydrogen cyanide can mix with nonpolar substances like methane and ethane, challenging traditional chemistry principles. This discovery could provide insights into the prebiotic chemistry that may have preceded life on Earth, as Titan's environment mirrors that of early Earth.Europa's Quiet OceansIn a surprising turn, new calculations suggest that the vast subsurface ocean beneath Europa's icy crust may be lifeless. This research indicates that Europa lacks the geological activity, such as hydrothermal vents, necessary to sustain life. Lead author Paul Brian discusses how the moon's stable orbit around Jupiter limits the tidal forces that could drive geological processes, casting doubt on the moon's potential as a habitat for life.The Source of Solar Gamma RaysAstronomers have identified the origin of intense gamma radiation emitted during solar flares, linking it to high-energy electrons colliding with plasma in the solar corona. This finding, derived from observations of a significant solar flare in 2017, enhances our understanding of solar flare physics and could improve space weather forecasting.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesNature CommunicationsNature AstronomyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Scientists studying Saturn's moon Titan have discovered that normally incompatible substances can mix(00:05:19) NASA will launch the Dragonfly mission to Titan in 2028(00:13:36) NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will study icy moon Europa(00:18:11) Astronomers have discovered that gamma rays generated by solar flares are caused by electrons(00:21:58) Most people who take diabetes drug Mounjaro gain weight back after stopping
HEALTH NEWS Probiotics emerge as a potent tool against depression and anxiety Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals Health issues linked to cosmetic jab complications From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds Weight loss drugs may cause nutritional deficiencies without proper guidanc Probiotics emerge as a potent tool against depression and anxiety University of Calgary (Canada), January 14 2026 (Natural News) For decades, the standard pharmaceutical approach to treating depression and anxiety has dominated treatment options, despite significant drawbacks including delayed effects, debilitating side effects and high relapse rates. Now, compelling new research is challenging this paradigm by pointing to a surprising source of relief: the gut. A comprehensive scientific analysis, synthesizing data from over 1,400 clinically diagnosed patients, reveals that probiotics—beneficial bacteria readily available as supplements—can produce substantial reductions in both depressive and anxious symptoms. The analysis major findings include: A major analysis of 23 clinical trials finds probiotics can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in clinically diagnosed patients. The benefits, appearing within 4-8 weeks, were comparable to some conventional antidepressants but without the same side-effect profile. The gut-brain axis, a communication network largely ignored by conventional psychiatry, is central to understanding this connection. Single-strain probiotic supplements, particularly certain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, showed the strongest mental health effects. This research supports a holistic view of mental wellness, where gut health is a foundational component of treatment. Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals Technical University Munich (Germany), January 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) Each year, more than two million people die from advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). Previous research has linked gut microbiome disruptions to this condition and suggested that bacteria typically found in the mouth may colonize the gut. A new study published in Nature Microbiology now shows that identical bacterial strains occur in both the mouth and gut of patients with advanced chronic liver disease and also reveals a mechanism by which oral bacteria affect gut health. The researchers also found that this process coincides with worsening liver health. Researchers analyzed bacterial populations in saliva and stool samples from patients. The team found that both the gut and oral microbiome undergo significant changes as liver disease worsened, where changes to the oral microbiome were already detectable at earlier disease stages. In healthy individuals, bacterial communities differ substantially between body sites. In patients with liver disease, however, oral and gut microbiomes became increasingly similar as the disease progressed and nearly identical bacterial strains were recovered from the mouth and gut of patients. "These strains are typically found in the mouth and are rarely present in the healthy gut. However, we observed increases in the absolute abundances of these oral bacteria in patients with advanced chronic liver disease. This strongly suggests that these bacteria translocate from the mouth and colonize the gut," explains Melanie Schirmer, Professor of Translational Microbiome Data Integration at TUM. Health issues linked to cosmetic jab complications Anglia Ruskin University (UK), January 9 2026 (Eurekalert) Patients with chronic illnesses face a significantly higher risk of complications from cosmetic botulinum toxin injections, commonly known as Botox, according to a major UK study. Researchers from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) surveyed 919 adults who had received botulinum toxin treatments for aesthetic reasons. The study, published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal, is the largest of its kind to have been carried out in the UK. Botulinum toxin injections are among the UK's most popular cosmetic procedures, with an estimated 900,000 treatments performed every year. Researchers found that underlying conditions such as type 1 diabetes, thyroid disorders, chronic migraine and skin disease dramatically increase the likelihood of adverse effects. According to the study, people with type 1 diabetes were 92 times more likely to experience nausea after treatment compared to those without the condition. Those with thyroid disorders and chronic migraine sufferers had an approximately 10-fold increase in the risk of nausea. Other complications associated with pre-existing conditions included headaches, bruising, muscle weakness and persistent eyelid droop (ptosis). Patients with cataracts were 30 times more likely to report headaches, and those with prior injuries had a 21-fold increased risk of losing facial expression. From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds Swansea University (UK), January 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) New research by Swansea experts has provided the largest ever comparison of well-being-focused interventions delivered to adults. The team reviewed 183 randomized controlled trials, representing almost 23,000 participants, and evaluated 12 categories of interventions ranging from psychological, physical, mind–body, and nature-based approaches to find out more. Their research was the first interdisciplinary comparison carried out across psychological, physical, mind-body and environmental interventions. The study gives an integrated view of how different disciplines contribute to well-being. By focusing on general adult samples rather than clinical groups, it provides evidence that will be relevant to developing public health, education, workplace well-being, and community programs. The researchers' key findings were: Most interventions improved well-being compared with inactive control groups; Strongest effects were found for combined exercise plus psychological interventions (for example, awe walks or meditation combined with walking); Mind–body interventions showed consistently moderate, reliable effects; Exercise alone produced similar benefits to many psychological interventions; and, Positive psychology interventions—both single-component and multicomponent—were also effective. The analysis shows that there is no single route to improving well-being. Mindfulness, compassion-based approaches, yoga, exercise and positive psychology interventions all showed moderate benefits compared with control groups, and combining physical activity with psychological interventions appeared particularly promising. Weight loss drugs may cause nutritional deficiencies without proper guidance University College London & Cambridge, January 7 2026 (News-Medical) People prescribed the new generation of weight loss drugs may not receive sufficient nutritional guidance to support safe and sustainable weight loss, leaving them vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies and muscle loss, say experts at UCL and the University of Cambridge. In research published today in Obesity Reviews, the team found a lack of robust evidence surrounding nutritional advice and support and the impact this has on factors such as calorie intake, body composition, protein adequacy, and patient experiences. Weight loss drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide – available under brand names including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro – mimic the naturally-occurring hormone glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), released into the blood in response to eating. The drugs suppress appetite, increase a feeling of being full, and reduce food cravings. These drugs can reduce calorie intake by between 16-39 %, making them a powerful tool to help people living with obesity and being overweight. However, there has been little research to examine their impact on diet quality, protein intake, or adequacy of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The researchers identified just 12 studies that looked at nutrition and diet alongside treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide. Given the widespread – and increasing – use of these medications and the urgency of providing advice to individuals using the drugs, there was insufficient evidence from the studies to recommend strict low-fat diets to complement the weight loss drugs. Some observational studies found that people on the treatments often consumed excessive levels of total and saturated fat. These medications are transforming obesity care, but we know very little about how they shape people's daily lives, including changes in appetite, eating patterns, wellbeing, and quality of life.
"Se você tem um martelo na mão, todo problema parece prego." No episódio de hoje do Rapidinhas da Bela, mergulhamos na nova polêmica do wellness: usar análogos de GLP-1 (como Ozempic e Mounjaro) para "desinflamar" doenças autoimunes como Hashimoto e Lúpus, mesmo sem precisar perder peso. Será que a ciência sustenta isso ou estamos criando um novo problema?Eu analiso a fundo a relação entre gordura e inflamação, o potencial promissor desses medicamentos, mas principalmente o risco real de causar um estresse metabólico que o seu corpo não aguenta. Falamos também sobre o elo perdido no tratamento das autoimunes: o seu sistema nervoso e a percepção de segurança celular. Um episódio curto, direto e essencial para quem busca saúde além da estética.Neste episódio, você vai aprender:A diferença entre desinflamar por emagrecer vs. efeito direto do remédio.O risco do "Flare": por que mudanças bruscas podem disparar uma crise autoimune.Por que não devemos usar "um canhão para matar uma formiga".A conexão vital entre sistema nervoso esgotado e doenças autoimunes.O papel do campo energético e emocional na cura real.Meu livro Perimeno Quê? O manual que eu queria ter tido quando eu passei pela perimenopausa já está disponível para vendas.

Ein feministisches 2026 – das wünschen wir uns und euch allen. Und direkt zum Jahresbeginn lohnt es sich, die feministische Brille aufzusetzen und einen der verbreitetsten Neujahrvorsätze (erneut) unter die Lupe zu nehmen: Abnehmen. Wir haben schon einmal über Diet Culture und Körperbilder gesprochen. Allerdings war das, bevor Ozempic und Co. den medialen Raum betreten haben. Inzwischen sind Abnehmspritzen omnipräsent und gelten als „Gamechanger“.Zu Gast sind die Psychologin Dr. Julia Tanck und die Autorin und Aktivistin Bobby Herrmann-Thurner. Von den beiden wollten wir wissen: Was macht die Verfügbarkeit, was macht auch der Konsum der Abnehmspritzen – zum Beispiel durch Prominente und auf Social Media – was macht das mit einem? Also psychisch? Mit dem Körperbild? Und welche Auswirkungen hat die Omnipräsenz von Abnehmspritzen auf ihre Arbeit?Artikel, die Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro und Co. abfeiern, Influencer*innen und Promis, die ihre Abnehmgeschichte mit dem Zeug erzählen – davon gibt es genug. Was es unserer Meinung nach aber zu wenig gibt, das ist ein kritischer Blick, der die gesellschaftlichen Folgen, aber auch die individuellen psychologischen Folgen klar benennt.

One of the sure-thing top stories of 2026 will be GLP1s, but will we see more studies and even approval for treating type 1 with these medications? We're talking about Ozempic, Mounjaro and the next versions like Retatrutide - that are just around the corner. I'm talking to Dr. Cecelia Lo Wong, a diabetologist at the University of Colorado whose been on the front lines of this conversation for years, including serving on FDA advisory committees. This is a wide ranging interview - we also talk about the growing needs of older adults with type 1 diabetes, how kidney and cardiovascular risk guidelines are evolving, and why managing diabetes in the hospital can still be such a challenge.

New Year not so new podcast! The Podgang kicks it off by laugh crying at the Venezuela situation, catch up on all things holiday and new year, mourn the loss of the 8×10 and more on the front half.

In this episode, Gianna Beasley welcomes listeners to 2026 and discusses the importance of setting health goals for the new year. She outlines a roadmap for success on a GLP-1 journey, emphasizing the need for reflection, refocusing, consistency, and celebrating progress. The conversation is structured around four phases that guide listeners through their health journey, encouraging self-awareness and sustainable habits.
This week, Bunnie Xo sits down with comedy powerhouse Bert Kreischer for a wildly unfiltered conversation that goes everywhere—and then some. Bert opens up about his recent health and weight-loss journey, including experimenting with Mounjaro, peptides, and GLP-based treatments, along with the very real (and very graphic) side effects no one warns you about.The two also dive deep into mental health, sharing candid experiences with OCD, anxiety, medication, and exposure therapy. Bert breaks down his long-standing rituals, flying anxieties, and the routines he's stuck to for years, while both reflect on how vulnerability, social media, and public scrutiny impact their lives behind the scenes.Of course, it wouldn't be a Bert episode without stories about marriage, intimacy, past relationships, marijuana, and the evolution of his comedy career—from early fame to what's next, including a new Netflix special on the horizon. They also touch on family dynamics, reality TV hypotheticals, and Bert's upcoming Netflix series, The Legend of Bert, premiering January 22.Equal parts hilarious, honest, and unexpectedly heartfelt—this episode pulls back the curtain on fame, fear, and figuring it out in real time.Bert Kreischer: WebsiteWatch Full Episodes & More: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The US will "run" Venezuela until a "safe, proper and judicious transition" can be ensured, Donald Trump has said, after US strikes led to the capture of the Latin American country's president and his rendition to New York.What happens next in Venezuela? There's been celebration and condemnation of America's intervention. We'll hear from in Caracas and also the Colombia-Venezuela border.Also in the programme: We also hear from a former Trump insider who worked with him on Venezuela, ask a leading international criminal lawyer about the legality of the situation; and we'll hear about weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy.(Photo shows Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro at the offices of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in New York.

En el Radar Empresarial de esta jornada ponemos el foco en el negocio de los medicamentos para perder peso en Asia, un mercado que ha despertado un fuerte interés entre las grandes farmacéuticas. Novo Nordisk y Eli Lilly han identificado a China como un territorio clave para su expansión y ya han comenzado a mover ficha. Ambas compañías han decidido reducir de forma significativa el precio de sus tratamientos adelgazantes en el país con vistas al próximo año. En el caso de la empresa danesa, el coste de Wegovy se ha recortado casi a la mitad, mientras que la multinacional estadounidense ha lanzado Mounjaro por 445 yuanes, muy por debajo de los más de 2.000 que costaba antes. Los cambios en los hábitos sociales han convertido a China en un mercado enorme, impulsado por el crecimiento de la clase media y una dieta cada vez más calórica. Este contexto ha provocado un aumento sostenido del sobrepeso y la obesidad. Las estimaciones apuntan a que en 2030 más del 65% de la población china podría sufrir alguno de estos problemas. Ante este escenario, también han surgido iniciativas locales para desarrollar fármacos propios, como Mazdutide, una inyección creada por Innovent Biologics junto a Eli Lilly China, con pérdidas de peso cercanas al 15% tras 48 semanas. El desafío sanitario no se limita a Asia y también es prioritario en Estados Unidos, donde la obesidad y la diabetes ocupan un lugar central en la agenda pública. China, de hecho, es el país con más personas con diabetes: en 2024 se contabilizaban 148 millones de adultos, según la International Diabetes Federation. Por ello, firmas globales y competidores locales compiten por el liderazgo, mientras Novo Nordisk y Eli Lilly refuerzan sus vínculos con las autoridades chinas e impulsan nuevas inversiones estratégicas. Este acercamiento busca asegurar presencia a largo plazo y apoyar los objetivos del plan China Saludable 2030 oficial nacional.

What happens when a medication designed to help you lose weight also changes what brings you pleasure?In this solo episode, I'm doing a deep dive into what nobody's discussing about GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) and what they do to your sex life.These medications have been absolutely transformational for metabolic disease, obesity, and cardiovascular health. But they don't just work on your gut and pancreas they work centrally in your brain, in your reward pathways, in your pleasure centers.I'm sharing stories from my practice: the glamorous patient who suddenly didn't want to shop anymore. The wine connoisseur who lost interest in drinking. The foodies who can't stand restaurants. And yes, the patients whose sexual desire completely disappeared because their brain stopped experiencing reward the same way.Highlights:Why GLP-1 medications are actually anti-inflammatory powerhouses (and what that means for PCOS, endometriosis, even PGAD).How these drugs modulate dopamine and serotonin the same pathways that control sexual desire.Why improving body image doesn't always improve sexual function (the biopsychosocial model).The emerging science on GLP-1s reducing alcohol cravings, substance use, and compulsive behaviors.What SHBG changes mean for your free testosterone and libido.Why your brain doesn't compartmentalize pleasure food, shopping, alcohol, and sex all use the same reward circuits.The informed consent conversation every doctor should be having (but isn't).If you're on a GLP-1 medication or considering starting one, ask your doctor about how it might affect what brings you pleasure including sex. With great power comes great responsibility, and sexual health is health.

What No One Tells You About Life After GLP-1 Meds GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have changed the game for weight loss—but what happens when the prescription ends and you need a plan? This week, I'm joined by Dr. Jim Hill, leading obesity researcher and architect of the National Weight Control Registry, to uncover what really happens after GLP-1s—and how to maintain your results without spiraling into regain. We'll explore the three types of weight regain, what makes maintenance so different from weight loss, and why your body is capable of mimicking GLP-1 effects naturally—if you know how to support it. Whether you're on these meds now, thinking of stopping, or just want to protect your progress, this is a must-listen.
Can you get rhabdomyolysis (rhabdo) from taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro(tirzepatide)? Here are the reports of people getting rhabdo after taking these medications, including how much they took, how high their creatine kinase level were, and what happened. Rhabdo after taking glucagon-like peptides appears to be rare but this is still a side effect people should be aware of.

This week's Friday Five tackles a question many women quietly wonder about: “What should I expect if I restart Mounjaro after pregnancy and breastfeeding?”Whether you paused your GLP-1 for pregnancy, breastfeeding, or simply life circumstances, coming back to it after many months brings up a lot of unknowns. In this episode, I break down what typically happens, what we actually know from emerging research, and most importantly—why postpartum women need close, compassionate medical support.Inside the episode, we explore:1. What current guidelines say about GLP-1s, pregnancy, and breastfeedingThe traditional recommendation is stopping GLP-1s two months before trying to conceive and waiting until you're done breastfeeding to restart. But I also share a recent small study looking at semaglutide and its transfer into breast milk—and what that means (and doesn't mean) for real-life decisions.2. Why restarting after long-term use often looks differentIf you were previously on Mounjaro for 6–24 months, your body typically:tolerates the medication more easilycan often titrate up more quicklyexperiences fewer early side effects Some of this is physiologic, some behavioral—because you've already learned hydration, fiber strategies, and the day-after-injection do's and don'ts.3. The postpartum period is the “fourth trimester”—and it changes everythingExhaustion, unpredictable schedules, stress, hormones, sleep deprivation… postpartum is not just a season. It's a vulnerable season. This is why you should never “go cowboy alone” when restarting medication. A skilled clinician helps prevent:excessive restrictionmetabolic overwhelmworsening moodtipping into depression or anxietyextreme titration that backfires4. How ongoing support during pregnancy impacts your restartI share examples from my own clinic: Some women stay with me through pregnancy—not for weight loss, but for structure, nutrition support, and a stable relationship with food. Those women often find it much easier to restart postpartum because they never disconnected from caring for their bodies.5. The good news: most women feel relief when they restartOnce medically cleared and supported, many women say:their appetite becomes manageable againtheir mental load decreasestheir urges and cravings quiet downthey finally feel like they have helpAnd that's the whole point: to feel supported, not stressed.If you're in this season, I'm rooting for both your health and your baby's health. Postpartum is not a time to go it alone, and you deserve expert guidance every step of the way.I hope this episode gives you clarity, comfort, All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

O Mounjaro, medicamento contra diabete utilizado para auxiliar na perda de peso, se transformou no queridinho da classe política em Brasília. Reportagem do UOL mostrou que, no caso do senador Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), a origem do medicamento é um empresário foragido da Justiça por envolvimento em um esquema de fraude em combustíveis e lavagem de dinheiro. O empresário é Roberto Augusto Leme da Silva, conhecido como Beto Louco, e está foragido, entre outras coisas, por suspeita de ligação com o Primeiro Comando da Capital, o PCC, maior facção do Brasil. Ele nega. É sobre esse presente de um foragido ao atual presidente do Senado que José Roberto Toledo conversa com o repórter Fabio Serapião, autor da reportagem, no novo episódio do podcast UOL Prime. Nota da defesa: A defesa desconhece os fatos objeto do questionamento. A respeito da inverídica relação de Roberto Leme e Mohamad Mourad com o PCC, são manifestamente equivocadas quaisquer afirmações nesse sentido. Não existe nenhuma evidência probatória que dê liame a essa falsa alegação. #uolprime #PodcastUOLPrime

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor answer listener questions about BMI cutoffs, weight cycling, metabolic adaptation, trauma, GLP-1 differences, and why some people gain weight on ultra-low calories. Dr. Cooper explains what's really happening inside the metabolic system and why individualized treatment—not dieting—creates sustainable change.Key Questions AnsweredIf my BMI doesn't “qualify” for GLP-1s, is Naltrexone + Bupropion helpful—and what labs matter first?Does being overweight always indicate metabolic dysfunction, and why are U.S. rates so high?If diets damage metabolism, what do you do when you're already 80 pounds overweight?How long does it take for leptin and ghrelin to stabilize with mechanical eating?How can someone gain weight on 1,200 calories/day?After sleeve gastrectomy, how do you eat enough while on a GLP-1?Is set point theory real—and how does the melanocortin pathway influence it?If obesity runs in my family, will I need meds like Zepbound for life?How do trauma and stress alter long-term metabolic health?Can GLP-1s offset weight gain from steroids, mood meds, or hormones?Why might Ozempic work well while Mounjaro causes weight gain?Key Takeaways1. BMI rules don't reflect metabolic truth.A mid-20s BMI can still mask significant dysfunction, especially with weight cycling.2. Weight cycling is metabolically stressful.Repeated losses/regains increase visceral fat, insulin abnormalities, and cardiovascular risk.3. Obesity is a multi-hormonal disease.Most people need pharmacology plus sleep, fueling, and movement—not restrictive dieting.4. Metabolic adaptation is powerful.Under-fueling lowers thyroid output, suppresses fat-burning, and slows metabolism dramatically.5. After bariatric surgery or on GLP-1s, frequency matters.Frequent, nutrient-dense snacks protect muscle, metabolism, and energy.6. Set point changes with better signaling.GLP-1s and related therapies help the brain accurately detect weight and lower the defended level.7. Genetics often mean lifelong support.Family patterns of obesity usually indicate long-term need for metabolic medication.8. Trauma amplifies metabolic risk.Childhood trauma disrupts IGF-1, sleep, stress hormones, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin.9. Medications can cause weight gain—GLP-1s can help counteract it.Steroids, mood meds, hormonal agents, and more can be metabolically unfriendly.10. “Newer” isn't always better.Some people respond poorly to the GIP component in Mounjaro/Zepbound. Individual physiology rules.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsRequest deeper evaluation: DEXA, visceral fat, fasting insulin/glucose, leptin, reproductive hormones.Stop restrictive dieting permanently—mechanical eating protects metabolic stability.Work with a fueling-focused dietitian (often ED-trained).Review your medication list for drugs known to cause weight gain.Don't switch GLP-1s or chase higher doses if your current regimen works.Notable Quote“Obesity isn't a willpower problem. It's a metabolic disease, and when the underlying system is supported, the body finally has permission to change.” — Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: Fat Science Podcast WebsiteSubmit a Show Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInMark Wright on LinkedInAndrea Taylor on InstagramFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

Irresistible You: Lose the Emotional Weight | Body Image | Confidence | Weight Loss
The cozy, magical season is here! Leggings, sweaters, cookies, hibernation mode. But this can also become the season where we disconnect from our bodies without even realizing it.In this episode, I'm sharing a truth we don't talk about enough:✨ The longer you hide in leggings and oversized sweatshirts, the longer you stay in denial about where you really are physically and emotionally. ✨ Getting dressed, putting on makeup, and wearing a real outfit isn't about vanity… it's about awareness, identity, and showing up for yourself. ✨ And what I don't want is for you to “wake up” in spring only to realize nothing fits and you don't recognize yourself.Let's talk about how you can stay connected, confident, and present with yourself even during cozy season so you don't lose yourself in the process.
Convidados: Bruno Geloneze, endocrinologista e pesquisador da Unicamp, e Henderson Fürst, diretor da Sociedade Brasileira de Bioética. Na semana passada, uma operação da Polícia Federal mirou um esquema ilegal de produção de canetas usadas para emagrecimento. No Brasil, apenas um laboratório tem autorização para vender a Tirzepatida (princípio ativo do Mounjaro) em larga escala. Mas o remédio pode ser feito em farmácias manipuladas, para que médicos ajustem a dose exata para pacientes com necessidades específicas. No esquema investigado pela PF, o médico produzia Tirzepatida em larga escala, sem seguir as regras estabelecidas pela Anvisa. A alta demanda por canetas emagrecedoras manipuladas tem explicação: no caso deste tipo de medicamento, o preço chega a ser metade do valor dos remédios originais, cujas patentes estão em poder de grandes fabricantes. Neste episódio, Victor Boyadjian conversa com o médico endocrinologista Bruno Geloneze e com o advogado Henderson Fürst. Especialista em endocrinologia e metabologia e pesquisador do Centro de Pesquisa em Obesidade e Comorbidades da Unicamp, Geloneze explica quais as diferenças entre os remédios feitos em laboratório e os manipulados. Ele detalha os riscos do uso de canetas emagrecedoras sem saber sua procedência exata e é taxativo: o barato pode sair caro. Diretor da Sociedade Brasileira de Bioética, Henderson fala sobre como um julgamento no Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) nas próximas semanas pode mudar o status das patentes das canetas emagrecedoras no Brasil. Ex-presidente da Comissão de Bioética da OAB, Henderson fala quais seriam os impactos do fim das patentes deste tipo de medicamento e explica quais regras da Anvisa para produção e consumo das canetas estão em vigor.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the nation's grief and anger after the Washington terror attack, the deepening crisis within America's immigration system, and President Trump's most sweeping border actions yet. He also examines the political backlash, the debate over assimilation, and the global pressures shaping events from Europe to Venezuela. America Mourns and Demands Answers: Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition while Specialist Sarah Beckstrom is laid to rest after last week's terror attack in Washington. DHS confirmed the attacker, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was a former CIA-backed Afghan Zero Unit fighter who was radicalized after arrival in the United States. Investigators say he drifted between Washington State, Arizona, and the East Coast with little oversight, revealing systemic vetting failures across multiple administrations. Vetting Breakdown Exposed: Inspector General reports show that over two hundred thousand Afghans brought into the country during the 2021 evacuation were admitted with almost no reliable databases, poor ID verification, and limited interagency cooperation. None received continual vetting after entry. Bryan explains why "strict vetting" is a political myth and why U.S. systems remain unable to verify criminal history, ideology, or cultural fit for many migrants. Trump Orders the Most Sweeping Immigration Freeze in Decades: The President has paused all asylum applications, halted Afghan visa processing, and instructed his team to permanently pause migration from Third World nations to reset the system. Green card and citizenship requests from nineteen countries are suspended. Trump is also considering the denaturalization of foreign-born citizens who fail loyalty or cultural compatibility standards. Legal scholars note that Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act grants the President broad authority to take such steps. Political Firestorm and Cultural Divide: Republicans and most Independents support a historic crackdown, while Democrats accuse Trump of racism and xenophobia. Some leaders, including Representative Jasmin Crockett and Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, blamed the National Guard deployments for the attack. Bryan argues that many progressive lawmakers reject assimilation because they reject the idea of American culture itself, pointing to recent examples in education, media, and politics. College Degrees Lose Appeal: New polling shows only 33 percent of Americans believe a four-year degree is worth the cost. Interest in vocational training and maritime careers is rising as tuition increases outpace wages. Maritime academies report that graduates earn more than $200,000 a year after six months of work. The Autopen Controversy: President Trump announced he is canceling all executive actions signed by Joe Biden through the autopen, citing concerns that Biden did not authorize their use. The Justice Department may soon bring cases that will force the Supreme Court to clarify the legality of autopen approvals. Debate Over Unlawful Orders Heats Up: Reports claim Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike on a cartel boat. Hegseth denies it. Senator Mark Kelly suggested troops should rely on intuition when evaluating orders, which critics warn could lead to chaos and politicized discipline. The issue may shape U.S. operations in the Caribbean. Global Flashpoints: Venezuela and Europe: Trump rejected demands from Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro for guaranteed amnesty and military control as part of an exit deal. Maduro may attempt a guerrilla resistance if forced out. In Europe, Islamist protests are disrupting Christmas markets in Belgium and Germany, where security costs have surged. France's populist movement is surging in polls as crime tied to migrants fuels public frustration. Portugal's populist party Chega is also now tied for first place in national polling. Medical News: A major UK study finds that weight loss drugs like Mounjaro and Zepbound must be taken long-term to maintain results, with many patients regaining most of the weight after stopping treatment.

This week Kevin and PJ are feeling fragile as PJ's back is in bits after a yoga class and the lads realise it is probably a blessing they do not have periods because they would absolutely never shut up about it. For the theme they dive into GLP 1s, prompted by the rise of Ozempic and Mounjaro. They chat about their own relationships with their bodies, the way fat people are treated in society and how Irish mothers are far more likely to compliment you on losing five pounds than saving a life.For support around body image, eating disorders, or related concerns, visit BodyWhysSign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.
