Podcasts about Obesity

While it’s been easy to grow a bit desensitized to the seemingly unstoppable sales growth of Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly’s GLP-1s quarter after quarter, this most recent earnings season delivered a few surprises. It’s a good moment to jump back in and assess where the two rivals stand in the market and where their pipelines are headed in the near term. In this week’s episode of "The Top Line," we break down the recent commercial performances of Novo’s and Lilly’s drugs for diabetes and obesity, plus the status of their oral obesity med prospects. Fierce Biotech’s James Waldron sits down with Fierce Pharma’s Fraiser Kansteiner to discuss the latest in the companies’ ongoing obesity duel, as well as some recent pitfalls that seem common to GLP-1 development and commercialization more broadly. To learn more about the topics in this episode: Novo's outgoing CEO prepares to hand off business as sales threats from Lilly, GLP-1 compounders persist Amid MFN talks, Lilly chief warns US adoption of international drug prices could bring 'worst of two worlds' Novo Nordisk drops 2 obesity drugs as part of major pipeline clearout Lilly's oral GLP-1 data 'as good as it gets' at 12% weight loss, exec says Pfizer's embattled obesity program loses another GLP-1 over poor data and strong competition See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Robert Baron explores current strategies for treating obesity, emphasizing evidence-based approaches to diagnosis, lifestyle change, medication, and long-term weight maintenance. He explains the limitations of body mass index (BMI) as a diagnostic tool and highlights the importance of assessing both excess fat and its health consequences. He reviews dietary principles, including calorie reduction, avoiding added sugars, and the importance of sustainable habits over specific diet types. He also discusses the role of physical activity—particularly strength training—for preserving muscle and improving long-term outcomes. Baron evaluates weight loss medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, noting their benefits, side effects, and the need for continued use to maintain weight loss.

The average American man carries 28% body fat—a level the American Council on Exercise considers obese. Add to that the sobering reality that heart disease has held the title of the nation's #1 killer for decades, with cancer close behind, and you have to wonder: how can the richest nation in history be so unhealthy?Here's the kicker—at least one-third of heart disease deaths are preventable, and the #1 lifestyle link to certain cancers is something as avoidable as tobacco use. In other words, much of this suffering isn't inevitable… it's a choice.But in a world overflowing with opinions about what it means to be “healthy,” what does God actually say? In this episode, Nick and Josh unpack the Bible's perspective on health, explore the idea of stewardship over our bodies, and share practical steps for living it out.Get ready for a conversation that doesn't just challenge what you believe about health—but why you believe it.Get expert fitness advice, free workout and nutrition guides, and more from Cody McBroom by clicking here.Level up your life with IDLife nutrition by clicking here.Apply to join Giant Killers here if you're a man that wants real accountability and training to become a leader.Level up your greatest asset with us in Mindset Mastery.

Send us a textWhat is the core evolved function of the endocannabinoid system?Episode Summary: Dr. Giovanni Marsicano is a neuroscientist based in Bordeaux, France, where he leads a research group at INSERM focusing on the endocannabinoid system.About the guest: Giovanni Marsicano, PhD discusses the endocannabinoid system, starting with its core components like CB1 receptors and lipid-based molecules derived from omega-6 fatty acids; its cellular signaling, evolutionary role in energy storage for uncertain futures (exostasis vs. homeostasis); effects across tissues; motivation, appetite, pain relief, and anxiety regulation; biphasic effects of cannabinoids.Discussion Points:The endocannabinoid system acts as an "exostatic" regulator, promoting energy accumulation for future needs by enhancing food palatability, nutrient absorption, and fat storage, unlike "endostatic" systems that address immediate hunger.CB1 receptors appear in vertebrates with adipose tissue, suggesting an evolutionary link to storing fat for survival in unstable environments.Endocannabinoids are lipids from omega-6 fats; high intake boosts their levels, potentially fueling obesity by creating a self-perpetuating cycle of overeating.Activation of CB1 can have biphasic effects due to receptors on different cell types like excitatory vs. inhibitory neurons.Pregnenolone, a steroid precursor, acts as a natural CB1 inhibitor to prevent excessive activation, blocking harmful effects like psychosis from high THC doses.The system influences motivation beyond food, including sex and even human activities like sports or storytelling, by rewarding actions for potential future benefits.In the brain, CB1 on mitochondria and astrocytes modulates energy use, olfaction, and social stress transmission, with implications for disorders like Alzheimer's.Reference Paper:CB1 Receptor as the Cornerstone of ExostasisRelated episode:M&M 123: EndocanSupport the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. AquaTru: Reverse osmosis water filters.

1 in 4 children in the U.S. lives with a chronic health condition (e.g., asthma, obesity, diabetes, ADHD, etc.). Asthma: Affects ~6 million children (~8.4% of U.S. kids). Obesity (ages 2–19): ~21% are classified as obese — one of the highest rates in the developed world. Type 2 diabetes in children: Increasing rapidly, especially in adolescents. Most common among children of color. The U.S. consistently ranks near the bottom among high-income countries for Infant Mortality Rate. And yet, the U.S. spends more per child on health care than any other country, yet outcomes often lag behind. So does that sound like real "health" care to you? We have worse outcomes on infant mortality, obesity, and mental health and higher rates of hospitalization for preventable conditions and yet we pay MORE for those results? You know the old adage, you keep doing what you've always done and you'll keep getting what you always get. So is it time for a change? We sure think so. The BrainStim gang is discussing what real health for our children looks like - and what changes you can make to help the next generation be truly healthy. www.invisionchiropractic.com

President Trump has announced he will impose a 100% tariff on chips and semiconductors imports, although he's suggested exemptions for companies manufacturing in the U.S. One company that may qualify for that exemption: Apple. During CEO Tim Cook's meeting with the President on Wednesday, Cook committed an additional $100 billion to onshore manufacturing. Author Walter Isaacson discusses Cook's commitment in the context of Steve Jobs' original plans to manufacture Apple products in America. President Trump also has another tech CEO in his sights, calling for the resignation of Intel's Lip-Bu Tan on social media.

Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast. If you enjoyed the show and want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  Today we're switching gears a bit to talk about a medication rather than a peptide — metformin. If you're someone who's interested in peptides for metabolic health or inflammation, you've probably heard metformin mentioned alongside them. It's been around for decades as a diabetes medication, but recently it's gaining attention for its potential benefits beyond blood sugar, including longevity, inflammation, and neuroprotection — even in people who don't have diabetes. Let's get into it. Metformin and Longevity Can metformin really help us live longer? One of the biggest sparks came from a 2014 study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, where researchers found that diabetics on metformin actually lived longer than non-diabetics not taking the medication.  The authors suggested that metformin may offer protective benefits beyond glucose control, possibly by reducing oxidative stress and slowing cellular aging. This inspired the launch of the TAME trial—short for Targeting Aging with Metformin—which is designed to test whether metformin can delay the onset of age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. While results are still pending, it's the first large-scale effort to study aging as a treatable condition, not just a process. Inflammation and Immunometabolism Next up: inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation is at the root of so many health issues—heart disease, dementia, even depression. Metformin appears to blunt systemic inflammation by activating AMPK. Think of AMPK as a metabolic master switch that lowers inflammatory signaling. A 2021 review published in Pharmacological Research found that metformin can inhibit NF-κB, a major pathway that drives inflammation. It also helped lower levels of CRP—a protein made by the liver that rises when there's inflammation from things like infection, injury, or chronic disease—and IL-6, another immune system protein commonly elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions. Because of these anti-inflammatory effects, researchers have been exploring metformin's potential in conditions beyond diabetes, including autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS), PCOS, and even COVID—where it's been linked to lower mortality in patients with diabetes. Brain Health and Neuroprotection What about the brain? Can metformin help protect against cognitive decline? There's some promising data here too. A 2017 study in Aging Cell found that metformin improved neurogenesis in the hippocampus of aged mice—basically, helping old brains grow new neurons. In 2019 a cohort study in JAMA Network reported that people with type 2 diabetes taking metformin had a lower risk of developing dementia compared to those not taking it. Mechanisms may include reduced insulin resistance in the brain, less oxidative stress, and—again—AMPK activation, which promotes mitochondrial health and energy production. Still, human trials are mixed, and more controlled research is needed before we can call it a “smart drug.” Lower Cancer Risk So, here's an interesting one—can metformin actually lower the risk of cancer? Well, the short answer is: maybe. People with diabetes tend to have a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer, so part of metformin's benefit could just come from better managing blood sugar and insulin levels. But what's really exciting is that researchers think metformin might do even more than that. There's evidence suggesting it could have direct effects on cancer cells—like slowing down their growth or making the environment less friendly for tumors. Some studies have found lower rates of cancers like breast, colon, and prostate in people taking metformin. Now, this isn't a magic bullet or anything, but it's a promising area of research that's getting a lot of attention. So metformin might be pulling double duty: managing diabetes and potentially helping reduce cancer risk through other mechanisms we're still learning about. Metabolic Health for Non-Diabetics Now here's where it gets controversial—should healthy people without diabetes be taking metformin? Some researchers argue yes, especially for people with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or high inflammation. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity, reduces liver glucose production, and may even support modest weight loss. That said, there are tradeoffs. Metformin can cause stomach-related side effects (e.g., nausea, gas, heartburn, and diarrhea) and vitamin B12 deficiency (which may lead to nerve damage). It can also cause extreme fatigue.  Metformin may sometimes cause sexual side effects, like erectile dysfunction in men. Some studies suggest it might lower testosterone, which we know is important for male sexual health. But interestingly, other research points to metformin actually improving blood flow to the penis, which could help with erectile issues. So, it's a bit of a mixed picture—and it really depends on the individual. And although rare, it can cause lactic acidosis (a life threatening condition where lactic acid builds up in the blood) in older adults, people with advanced kidney disease, or those who drink excessive amounts of alcohol. So it's not a free pass.  So what are my final thoughts and who should you take metformin for longevity? Metformin isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's definitely not something to start just because you heard about it on a podcast. We still need more research—especially in people without diabetes—to really understand who benefits most. But it might make sense for some people, like those with prediabetes, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or even older adults looking to support healthy aging.  As always, it's something to talk through with your healthcare provider.  The science is exciting, but it's all about finding what makes sense for you. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast. If you enjoyed the show and want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page.

En este episodio, Fernanda Alvarado, la Dra. Julia Salinas y el reconocido psiquiatra Rafa López se sientan a una mesa redonda para desmenuzar un tema que está en boca de todos: la compleja intersección entre la obesidad, el auge de medicamentos como Ozempic y el movimiento Body Positive. Inspirados por el polémico especial de South Park "The End of Obesity", exploramos cómo la percepción del cuerpo se ha convertido en un indicador de estatus social. ¿Es Ozempic la solución mágica para la obesidad, o es un privilegio de unos pocos? ¿Qué sucede cuando el mensaje original de autoaceptación del Body Positive se distorsiona, negando la evidencia médica y afirmando que "un cuerpo obeso es un cuerpo sano"? Analizamos el papel de las redes sociales y las marcas en esta tergiversación, la errónea idea de que un cambio externo resolverá problemas internos, y cómo la autoaceptación se construye día a día en un mundo que constantemente nos juzga. Un debate profundo sobre la salud, la imagen corporal, la industria farmacéutica y el impacto psicológico de estas tendencias. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Si te gustó el video, ¡suscríbete y recomienda el canal!

Send us a textHepatologist and hepatology key opinion leader Naim Alkhouri joins Roger Green to remember his longstanding relationship with Stephen Harrison, announce his new role as Chief Academic Officer at Summit Clinical Research and share how, in this role, he will have exciting new avenues make an impact on many elements of MASH drug development and patient care. The conversation can be divided into two sections. In the first, Naim recounts his relationship with Stephen Harrison, beginning with his move to a different San Antonio clinical trial practice and continuing through his tenure at Arizona Liver Health, up until Stephen's untimely passing last April. He describes what it was like to work with Stephen, the man, and to learn from and share ideas with Stephen, the "visionary." Next, Naim announces that he has joined Summit Clinical Research as Chief Academic Officer. He describes the many aspects of his new role, from collaborating with Gail Hinkson, Mazen Noureddin and the rest of the Summit team in designing better clinical trials to the many kinds of medical education Summit can bring to various medical stakeholders. He describes the dramatic growth in the number of trial sites in the Summit network and additional growth he foresees. Like Gail Hinkson in the same episode, he discusses ways in which Alzheimer's drug development is similar to MASH. He also touches on obesity trials and the ways that Summit can help create more robust knowledge about obesity, not only through trials but also expert advisory boards. In the end, he makes a personal announcement that you will have to read to learn.

When it comes to weight loss, the scale isn't the only thing that changes—your reflection and self-image often transform too. In this episode, I talk about a topic gaining attention in the media and social circles: "Ozempic face" and the emotional and physical effects of rapid weight loss, especially for those using GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Zepbound, or Ozempic. I share a story about a friend who hesitated to increase her dosage due to concerns about skin changes, which opened the door to a larger discussion on body image during weight loss. I explain that these facial and skin changes—such as sagging, wrinkles, or looking more tired—aren't exclusive to medication use but are common with any significant weight loss, especially as we age.  Furthermore, I walk through ways to manage these concerns, like slowing down weight loss, prioritizing resistance training and protein, staying hydrated, considering aesthetic treatments, and most importantly, shifting focus from appearance to overall health. I emphasize the importance of support, tuning out unsolicited comments, and curating a healthier social media feed.  If you're navigating weight loss and struggling with body image changes like "Ozempic face," listen to this empowering episode for real talk, expert tips, and compassionate support on your journey.   Episode Highlights: What “Ozempic face” really means and why it happens Emotional impact of rapid weight loss and changing appearance How to manage body image concerns during weight loss Practical tips: strength training, hydration, and pacing weight loss Cosmetic treatment options and when to consider them The role of social media in shaping unrealistic expectations Reframing the focus from appearance to overall health and wellness 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.
