Dr. Kelly Arps, Dr. Naima Maqsood, and Dr. Sahi Allam discuss modifiable risk factors and lifestyle management of atrial fibrillation with Dr. Prash Sanders. Atrial fibrillation is becoming more prevalent across the world as people are living longer with cardiovascular disease. While much of our current focus lies on the pharmacological and procedural management of atrial fibrillation, several studies have shown that targeted reduction of risk factors, such as obesity, sleep apnea, hypertension, and alcohol use, can also significantly reduce atrial fibrillation burden and symptoms. Today, we discuss the data behind lifestyle management and why it is considered the “4th pillar” of atrial fibrillation treatment. We also explore ways to incorporate prevention strategies into our general cardiology and electrophysiology clinics to better serve the growing atrial fibrillation population.

Pearls More people have atrial fibrillation because it is being detected earlier using wearable technology, and patients are living longer with subclinical or clinical cardiovascular disease There are 3 components of atrial fibrillation: an electrical “trigger” + a susceptible substrate (due to age, sex, genetics) + “perpetuators” that cause the trigger to continue stimulating the substrate (lifestyle risk factors such as obesity, smoking, diabetes, etc.) Obesity is the highest attributable risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Treating obesity often helps to treat other risk factors, such as hypertension and sleep apnea. Counseling is patient-dependent. Most patients are unable to make major behavioral changes cold-turkey and will need to make small, incremental changes. Dr. Sanders' tip: He tells his own patients that “atrial fibrillation is the body's response to stress.” The key to treating atrial fibrillation is to control your underlying stressors - procedures and medications are simply band-aids that do not fix the root of the problem. Notes Notes drafted by Dr. Allam. 1. How common is atrial fibrillation? Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia. Currently, an estimated 50-60 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have atrial fibrillation, or roughly 1 in 4 individuals over the age of 45.1 The rising global prevalence of atrial fibrillation can be attributed to the aging of the population, increased rates of obesity, and greater accumulation of cardiovascular risk factors and survival with clinical cardiovascular disease.2 Atrial fibrillation is also being detected earlier through digital and wearable devices.2 Annually, we spend approximately $5,312 per adult on the management of atrial fibrillation in the United States.3 2. What is the underlying pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation? How do risk factors like sleep apnea or obesity “trigger” atrial fibrillation? For atrial fibrillation to occur, there is an electrical “trigger”, a susceptible substrate (due to age, sex, genetics), and “perpetuators” that allow the trigger to continue stimulating the substrate.2 90% of electrical “triggers” come from the pulmonary veins “Perpetuators” influence how the autonomic nervous system interacts with the triggers and substrate to perpetuate atrial fibrillation. Sleep apnea, obesity, and other risk factors are the “perpetuators” Over time, as atrial fibrillation recurs, the substrate remodels to result in persistent atrial fibrillation. 3. What are some of the risk factors for atrial fibrillation and what are the possible benefits of controlling them?
In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons welcomes Dr. Ashley Lucas, a former professional ballerina turned PhD nutritionist and founder of PhD Weight Loss. Dr. Lucas shares her remarkable journey from struggling with under-eating and injury in the ballet world to helping over 11,000 people lose nearly 500,000 pounds by addressing the real root of weight issues: metabolic health.Together, Dr. Jenn and Dr. Ashley expose the myths of “eat less, move more,” unpack the dangers of visceral fat, and explain why true, lasting weight loss is more about hormones and mindset than willpower.

Have you heard about people buying weight loss medications from unregulated sources online? The rise of black market weight loss drugs is putting lives at risk. In this episode, I discuss the concerning trend of people purchasing Retatrutide—a medication still in clinical trials—through illegal channels. Known as the "Godzilla Jab" for its potential power, early studies suggest this drug could help people lose up to 24% of their body weight. I explain what Retatrutide is and how it compares to FDA-approved medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro. We explore why people take dangerous risks with black market drugs, from social media hype to cost concerns and access issues. Most importantly, I share the serious health and legal risks of buying unregulated medications and provide clear guidelines for safely accessing weight loss treatments through licensed providers. Tune in to learn how to protect yourself and make informed decisions about weight loss medications the safe way. Episode Highlights: What is Retatrutide The dangers of purchasing unregulated medications online Factors driving people to illegal sources Legal risks of buying unapproved drugs and potential health complications from unregulated substances Safe Medication Practices Understanding that medication works best when combined with healthy eating, physical activity, adequate rest, and emotional support 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.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Accessibility to modern diabetes technology directly correlates with A1c among children with type 1 diabetes globally. Big, cross-sectional study, conducted in 81 pediatric diabetes centers in 56 countries, found that a greater extent of reimbursement for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, glucose meters, and insulin was associated with lower A1c levels. Partha S. Kar, MD, Type 1 Diabetes & Technology lead of the National Health Service England, told Medscape Medical News, “As is now being shown in countries such as UK with widespread uptake of technology, there is now population-wide shift in A1c not seen before.” He added, “If policymakers are serious about bringing A1c at a population level to sub-7.5% - 8% levels, then without technology it would be incredibly difficult to achieve, in my experience and opinion. Leaving the median A1c of a population at above 7.5%-8% goes with complications so that's a decision regarding investment many will have to make in the near future.” In an accompanying editorial, Elizabeth R. Seaquist, MD, professor of diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolism and co-director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, called it “striking” that access to technology in and of itself was associated with improved glycemic control, given that multidisciplinary team care is also needed to provide education and behavioral or psychological support. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-access-linked-a1c-kids-t1d-globally-2025a1000nn6 XX A man with type 1 in Illinois has received the first FDA-approved islet-cell replacement treatment, Lantidra, and he is now producing his own insulin. The treatment works by restoring the body's beta cells, potentially eliminating the need for insulin injections. The FDA approved Lantidra (donislecel) in 2023. Lantidra uses donor cells and requires lifelong immunosuppressive drugs. Lantidra is only available at University of Illinois Chicago Health. Other universities, such as the University of Pennsylvania, continue to do islet cell transplants as part of clinical trials. Early data has shown that a majority of participants in the Lantidra clinical study were able to achieve some level of insulin independence, but it's unclear whether the benefits of donislecel outweigh the treatment's safety risks. Nearly 87 percent of participants reported infection-related adverse events, and post-operation complications included liver lacerations, bruising of the liver (hepatic hematoma), and anemia. One patient died of multi-organ failure from sepsis, which Lantidra maker CellTrans stated was “probably related” to the use of either immunosuppression or study drugs. In addition, some industry leaders have raised the question of whether it's ethical to commercialize the use of deceased donor islet cells. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/first-fda-approved-islet-cell-transplant-performed?utm_campaign=feed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=later XX Patients in the U.S. now have access to the first generic GLP-1 treatment approved for weight loss as Teva has launched its copycat of Novo Nordisk's injected Saxenda (liraglutide). The compound, which is a GLP-1 forerunner of Novo's semaglutide products Ozempic and Wegovy, has been approved by the FDA to treat adults with obesity and those who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems. Saxenda also is endorsed for pediatric patients ages 12 through 17 who are obese and weigh at least 60 kg (132 pounds). The treatment is for both triggering and maintaining weight loss. Saxenda is not the first GLP-1 drug that is available as a generic. In June of last year, Teva also was the first company to launch a knockoff version of Novo's Victoza, which is the same compound as Saxenda but has been approved only for patients with Type 2 diabetes. Sales of the branded versions of both Victoza and Saxenda have declined significantly in recent years as demand for Novo's semaglutide and Eli Lilly's tirzepatide products have skyrocketed. In addition, marketers of compounded products have been aggressively competing for market share in the GLP-1 space. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/saxenda-knockoff-teva-launches-first-generic-glp-1-obesity XX Metformin could cut the risk of Long COVID by 64% in overweight or obese adults who started the drug within 90 days of infection. The large observational study, published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, analysed health records of over 624,000 UK adults with COVID-19 between March 2020 and July 2023. Among these, nearly 3,000 patients who began metformin treatment soon after diagnosis were tracked for a year. Compared to non-users, their likelihood of developing Long COVID, defined as persistent symptoms 90 days or more after infection, was dramatically lower. https://www.ndtv.com/health/metformin-cuts-risk-of-long-covid-by-64-why-the-diabetes-pill-is-not-for-everyone-9242332 XX Forty-four percent of people age 15 and older living with diabetes are undiagnosed, so they don't know they have it, according to data analysis published Monday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The study looked at data from 204 countries and territories from 2000 to 2023 in a systematic review of published literature and surveys. “The majority of people with diabetes that we report on in the study have type 2 diabetes,” said Lauryn Stafford , the lead author of the study. “We found that 56% of people with diabetes are aware that they have the condition,” said Stafford, a researcher for the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. “Globally, there's a lot of variation geographically, and also by age. So, generally, higher-income countries were doing better at diagnosing people than low- and middle-income countries.” People under 35 years were much less likely to be diagnosed if they had diabetes than people in middle age or older. Just “20% of young adults with diabetes were aware of their condition,” Stafford said. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/08/health/diabetes-undiagnosed-half-of-americans-wellness XX A team of Hong Kong scientists is developing an injectable treatment that could potentially improve blood flow in diabetes patients' feet, in the hopes that it will reduce the need for amputation by rebuilding tissue in the arteries. They also hope to apply the treatment to peripheral artery disease or PAD, a condition caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in arteries that affect blood circulation in the feet. “Traditional treatments for people suffering from poor blood flow in their legs are stent implantation or bypass surgery, which is invasive,” said Wong, who is also the co-founder of a biotechnology company called NutrigeneAI. He said it was his dream to turn research in the academic field into actual clinical treatments. But he added that the team still needed three to four years for further research on the treatment. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3324671/hong-kong-scientists-developing-new-blood-flow-treatment-aid-diabetes-patients XX Tandem Diabetes announces Health Canada authorization for distribution of the Tandem t:slim mobile application for Android and iPhone users. The Tandem t:slim mobile app allows users to deliver a bolus from their compatible smartphone, and to wirelessly upload their pump data to the cloud-based Tandem Source platform.1 The app is expected to be available later this year. The Tandem t:slim mobile app will be available for compatible smartphones in the Apple App Store and Google Play store later in 2025. Once available, Tandem will email eligible customers with instructions on how to download and use the app. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250904665715/en/Tandem-tslim-Mobile-App-Now-Authorized-by-Health-Canada-for-iPhone-and-Android-Phones XX Some changes to how the Eversense CGM will be rolled out.. right now it's being distributed by Ascensia Diabetes Care. Senseonics will take back commercial control of the year long implantable CGM on January 1 in the US and expanding worldwide throughout 2026. The change was a mutual decision, according to the two companies, which said they have signed a memorandum of understanding before a definitive agreement is hammered out by the end of the year. To get started, Senseonics is also set to acquire members of Ascensia's commercial staff—including its CGM president, Brian Hansen, who is slated to become Senseonics' new chief commercial officer. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/senseonics-retake-eversense-cgm-commercial-control-ascensia-diabetes-care XX Utrecht-based medical device company ViCentra has closed an $85 million Series D round of funding led by Innovation Industries, along with existing investors Partners in Equity and Invest-NL. The round also drew support from EQT Life Sciences and Health Innovations. The recent capital injection will be used to expand ViCentra's manufacturing capabilities, support regulatory approvals, and strengthen commercial rollout across Europe. The funds will also be used to launch the next-generation Kaleido 2 patch pump in Europe and prepare for entry into the U.S. market. The global insulin delivery market is growing quickly due to the increasing number of diabetes cases and demand for effective and user-friendly solutions. The market for insulin pumps is projected to exceed $14 billion by 2034. Patch pumps are the fastest-growing segment, signalling a trend toward compact and wearable devices. And here's where ViCentra is positioned to meet this need, offering a user-friendly, sleek design-led alternative to traditional systems. Kaleido: design-led insulin delivery Kaleido is the smallest and lightest insulin patch pump developed as a lifestyle product with a particular focus on usability and personalisation. Designed to feel more like personal technology than a traditional medical device, Kaleido features premium materials, and users can select their own favourite aluminium shells from a range of ten preset colour options. It integrates with Diabeloop's hybrid closed-loop algorithms (DBLG1 and DBLG2) and is compatible with Dexcom CGM sensors, positioning it within the next generation of automated insulin delivery systems. “Kaleido is a true disruptor — small, discreet, featherlight, and beautifully designed. It empowers people with diabetes by offering a more personal and distinctive choice in both function and style. Built with empathy and precision, it honours those who live with diabetes every day. With this funding, we can now meet surging European demand and fast-track our entry into the U.S. market. This is a pivotal moment — for ViCentra, and for the community we serve,” said Tom Arnold, Chief Executive Officer at ViCentra. Improving the quality of life for diabetic patients ViCentra, led by Tom Arnold, is on a mission to improve the lives of those with diabetes. The company reported that demand for Kaleido in Germany, France, and the Netherlands has already exceeded initial expectations. ViCentra will present updates on Kaleido at the 61st Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), taking place September 15–19, 2025, in Vienna. The company plans to engage with clinicians, investors, and strategic partners to further its role in the evolving diabetes care landscape. “ViCentra is redefining insulin pump therapy with a platform that truly centres the user experience – combining clinical performance with design simplicity and wearability,” commented Caaj Greebe, Partner at Innovation Industries. “At Innovation Industries, we invest in pioneering companies that blend world-class technology with clear commercial potential. ViCentra exemplifies this by delivering a next-generation system addressing the urgent need for better treatment options in diabetes care. We're proud to lead this investment round and partner with Tom and the team as they deepen and expand their presence in Europe and prepare for U.S. entry.” https://techfundingnews.com/dutch-vicentra-secures-85m-to-bring-insulin-patch-pump-to-more-markets/ XX Luna Diabetes announces they've raised more than 23-million dollars in early venture capital to help continue clinical trials and build out its capacity. This is the company that wants to offer a night time only, tiny, temporary insulin pump – to supplement insulin pen use. According to the company, more than 80% of the improvements in blood sugar from automated insulin delivery systems occur while the user is sleeping. Luna launched a pivotal trial late last year. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/nighttime-insulin-patch-pump-maker-luna-diabetes-raises-236m XX Following 15 days and 150 fingerpricks, they're here. The results of the “9 sensor samba“. And what a set of a results… Well maybe that's overplaying it a little. Let's just say that the outcome of this n=1 experiment wasn't quite what I expected. One of the established players came out much worse than expected, while a newcomer did a lot better. Let's dig in, and take a look at the variation. https://www.diabettech.com/cgm/the-nine-sensor-samba-results-revealed/ XX Hard work and perseverance define ranch life, but one man in eastern Montana takes it to another level. At 90, he's still living independently on the ranch he built from the ground up. Even more remarkable? He's a type 1 diabetic. Bob Delp still begins each day just like he did decades ago, waking up on his ranch near Richey, Montana. “I always thought if I could ever get a ranch and run a hundred cows, that's what I wanted to do from the time I was a kid,” said Delp. He made that dream real, the hard way; after coming home from the army, he taught school, hayed for seven cents a bale and saved every cent he could. “I worked at it real hard because I always felt like it was going to be part of getting me to that ranch that I always wanted,” said Delp. He did it all while managing type 1 diabetes, a diagnosis that came with few answers and little hope back in the 1950s. “The doctors tell me being a type 1 diabetic for 66 years isn't supposed to happen. Back then, it was a real challenge,” added Delp. Statistically, it's almost unheard of. Fewer than 90 people in the world have lived more than 70 years with type 1 diabetes. Bob credits his late wife, Donna, for helping him beat the odds. “She has been key in that I always ate on time.” They've faced their share of storms, both in health and out on the land. Not long after moving to Richey, a heavy snowstorm nearly tore everything apart just after they'd stepped out for dinner. “If Donna hadn't said it was time to eat, we wouldn't have made it out of there. I guess that's one time that made me happy to have diabetes. And I think that saved us,” said Delp. Now, he still checks his blood sugar daily but trusts his hands more than high-tech insulin pumps. “I'm not satisfied with the sensors they have today. I just don't think they're accurate.” To many, Bob's survival is extraordinary. To him, it's luck. “The genes are there already, I can't change that so I guess I would have to say just lots of good luck,” said Delp. And through it all, optimism has been his compass. “You might fumble the ball, but if you're determined to be a winner, you'll recover that fumble someday,” said Delp. He still welds nearly every day. Not because he has to, but because it keeps him going. “As long as I keep doing something like this, I will not be in the nursing home,” said Delp. https://www.kfyrtv.com/2025/08/09/against-all-odds-montana-man-thrives-with-type-1-diabetes-90/ XX Today, Dexcom is building on this belief and breaking new ground with the launch of its first open call across the U.S. and Canada in search of the next diabetes advocates—giving people with all types of diabetes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise awareness and share their voice on a global scale in the company's World Diabetes Day campaign (Nov. 14) and beyond.

The 61st annual EASD meeting will take place on September 15-19, 2025, in Vienna, Austria.
Send us a textThe effects of protein restriction on metabolism, liver hormones, brain, and behavior.Episode Summary: Dr. Christopher Morrison talks about how animals sense and prioritize nutrients like protein, discussing defense mechanisms for essentials such as oxygen, water, sodium, and energy; the brain's role in detecting protein deprivation via signals like FGF21; trade-offs between growth, reproduction, and longevity under protein restriction; and reconciling high-protein diets for satiety and muscle maintenance with low-protein benefits for metabolic health and lifespan extension.About the guest: Christopher Morrison, PhD is a professor and researcher at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he has worked for over 22 years focusing on nutrition, metabolism, and chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes.Discussion Points:The body prioritizes nutrients hierarchically: oxygen and water first, then sodium, energy, and protein, with weaker defenses for carbs or fats.Animals develop specific appetites for deprived nutrients, like salt or protein, often through post-ingestive learning rather than just taste.Protein restriction (e.g., 5% vs. 20% in diets) increases food intake and energy expenditure in mice to maintain protein levels, even at the cost of extra calories.FGF21, a liver hormone, signals protein deprivation to the brain (via NTS region), driving protein-seeking behavior and metabolic changes; it's essential for low-protein responses.Protein restriction extends lifespan in lab animals by suppressing growth signals like IGF-1 and mTOR, but may impair immunity or wound healing in real-world conditions.High protein aids satiety, weight loss, and muscle building, but overconsumption may shorten lifespan; optimal intake depends on age, activity, and goals (e.g., not for pregnant or elderly).No one-size-fits-all for protein: mild restriction may benefit middle-aged sedentary people for health, while athletes need more; balance avoids excesses.Related content:M&M 106: Diet, Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Taste, Whole vs. Processed Food, Obesity & Weight Loss, Comparative Biology of Feeding Behavior | Stephen Simpson & David Raubenheimer*Not medical advice.Support 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. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Episode 25:37 Here's 4 Ways To Lower Your A1C Level Naturally More than 100 million Americans have elevated blood sugar levels… and don't even know it! Another 50 million have elevated levels and DO know it. That's not good! It's not good because elevated blood sugar levels lead to deadly sicknesses and diseases. Disease such as Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer, Alzheimer's and Dementia. So, how do you know if blood sugar levels are elevated? It's easy! Simply have your doctor order a blood test known as an “A1C Test.” If your A1C score is above 5.4 it's considered to be elevated (high). It also places you at high risk for developing any of the diseases mentioned above. Fortunately, elevated levels of blood sugar… high A1C levels… can be reduced naturally, without drugs. On this episode I discuss four specific tactics for doing just that. Four lifestyle habits that you can begin to implement immediately that will help reduce your blood sugar levels and decrease your risk of developing a chronic disease. Be sure to give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more?

EPISODE 145 | Trumpspiracies: What a Tangled Web Ever since Donald Trump first decided to run for the highest office in the United States, he has promoted an astonishing number of conspiracy theories. It's almost as if a New York real estate baron famous for lying to clients, not paying his bills and exploiting loopholes for his own benefit had learned, somewhere along the way, that “truth” is a slippery subject. And because he's not a very deep thinker, he has, like many people, confused truth with facts. Like what we do? Then buy us a beer or three via our page on Buy Me a Coffee. Review us here or on IMDb.

Mikki takes a deep dive into BMI, obesity, and a major shift in how obesity is being redefined in the scientific and medical community. Drawing on a recent Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission report and new cohort data from the All of Us research program, she unpacks why BMI alone is an inadequate measure, how new definitions of preclinical and clinical obesity provide more nuance, and what this means for individuals, clinicians, and policymakers. This conversation highlights the importance of looking beyond the scale to understand true metabolic risk and the wider societal costs of obesity. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of why obesity is being reframed as a chronic systemic condition—and why it matters for health outcomes and resource allocation.Highlights:Why BMI falls short in measuring individual health risk.The Lancet Commission's new framework redefining obesity as a chronic condition.Difference between preclinical vs clinical obesity.Study findings: 1 in 5 people with “normal BMI” may still be classified as obese under the new definition.Implications for clinicians, policy, and public health.

Neste episódio, vamos analisar criticamente o estudo brasileiro publicado no prestigiado periódico Neurology, que virou manchete no mundo todo ao afirmar que sete adoçantes artificiais estariam associados a declínio cognitivo acelerado.À primeira vista, parece alarmante. Mas, quando olhamos com lupa, o estudo se revela um festival de problemas metodológicos e incongruências:É observacional, baseado em questionário de frequência alimentar (FFQ), incapaz de medir miligramas de adoçantes.Foram feitas dezenas de comparações sem ajuste, terreno fértil para falsos positivos.As diferenças absolutas nas curvas são microscópicas, irrelevantes do ponto de vista clínico.Os resultados são cheios de contradições: a mesma substância aparece como “protetora” em um grupo e “prejudicial” em outro.O caso mais bizarro é o da tagatose, um adoçante que sequer é consumido no Brasil, mas que apareceu associado a declínio cognitivo porque os autores usaram uma tabela gringa de composição de alimentos.Até os polióis em miligramas, que não representam consumo real, foram parar nos gráficos como supostos vilões.No fim, o que o estudo mostra não é toxicidade universal dos adoçantes, mas sim que os usuários desses produtos já eram pessoas com mais diabetes, mais hipertensão e maior risco de declínio cognitivo desde o início. É o clássico viés por indicação.Neste episódio, vamos destrinchar cada detalhe, explicar como essas associações espúrias se formam e discutir o perigo de manchetes sensacionalistas que transformam estatística em pânico.Links relacionados:Comida Sem Filtro #27 – “Por Que O Ovo Que Te Faz Bem Hoje Te Mata Amanhã?”Comida Sem Filtro #36 – Assim Fica Difícil, BBCComida Sem Filtro #42 – A Carne QuânticaComida Sem Filtro #46 – Não Caia Em Epidemiologia Nutricional!Comida Sem Filtro #59 – Diretrizes Podem Mudar?Comida Sem Filtro #70 – Adoçantes Artificiais Aumentam Risco Cardiovascular?Comida Sem Filtro #99 – “O Mistério Do Sorvete”Comida Sem Filtro #151 – A Tortura Dos Dados – Parte 1: Os Dados Confessam O Que Você QuiserComida Sem Filtro #152 – A Tortura Dos Dados – Parte 2: Carne Vermelha No MultiversoComida Sem Filtro #153 – A Tortura Dos Dados – Parte3: O Viés De PublicaçãoComida Sem Filtro #175 – Low-Carb Causa Diabetes?Effect of Sibutramine on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Overweight and Obese SubjectsSemaglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Obesity without DiabetesEffects of remote, retroactive intercessory prayer on outcomes in patients with bloodstream infection: randomised controlled trialEstamos no Instagram: Dr. Souto - Sari Fontana Para ser avisado sobre cada novo episódio e receber os links das matérias mencionadas e as referências bibliográficas por e-mail, cadastre-se gratuitamente em https://drsouto.com.br/podcast"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Ozempic-style appetite-suppressing drugs are coming for our dogs.Headlines are already calling them “Pawzempic” — implants that promise to “fix” the so-called canine obesity epidemic by turning off your dog's hunger. But here's the thing: our dogs don't feed themselves.In this FETCH First Friday episode, we dive beneath the headlines to explore what this trend really reveals — not just about pet health, but about us as guardians, consumers, and culture-makers.Because when we reach for a jab before we ask deeper questions, we risk missing the truth: obesity isn't the root cause — it's a symptom.What You'll Learn in This Episode* The rise of “Pawzempic” → How GLP-1 drugs work, what's being developed for dogs, and why the marketing is so seductive* The root causes of canine obesity → From ultra-processed pet food to lack of enrichment, environmental stress, and even our own emotional projection* The microbiome connection → Why weight is about more than calories, and how gut health shapes metabolism, inflammation, and wellbeing* The deeper questions → Are we unconsciously transferring human struggles with weight, control, and shame onto our dogs? What happens when we silence natural hunger cues instead of listening to them?* A different path forward → Species-appropriate fresh food, microbiome-friendly choices, emotional co-regulation, and practical, natural ways to support your dog's health — without shame or shortcutsWhy This MattersThis isn't just a conversation about weight loss. It's about the stories we're told — and sold — about our dogs, our bodies, and what “health” really means.It's about reclaiming our role as guardians, not consumers. About moving from control to connection. And about creating a life where our dogs thrive because we're finally willing to ask:✨ What's actually causing imbalance? ✨ Who profits when we medicate the symptoms instead of healing the system? ✨ And how can we step back into relationship — with our dogs, with food, and with ourselves?Your dog isn't broken.

The FDA has approved a generic version of liraglutide injection, expanding access to obesity treatment by lowering costs and broadening eligibility across adults and adolescents, though safety monitoring remains essential. A JAMA Network Open study found that overweight older adults had lower 30-day mortality after elective surgery compared to those of normal weight, highlighting the “obesity paradox” in surgical risk assessment. Finally, a new rapid, culture-free diagnostic method for sepsis can identify pathogens within two hours using microfluidics and deep learning, offering significant potential to improve survival in critically ill patients.
Join Dr. Tom Rogers on this week's episode of The Common Sense MD as he tackles one of the most pressing and often misunderstood health issues of our time: obesity. Dr. Rogers explores why obesity is now widely recognized as a disease—and not simply a matter of willpower.

Dr. Rogers also shares candid thoughts on the importance of compassion in medical practice, the social stigma around obesity, and the future of fat acceptance and weight loss therapy.Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone struggling with weight, or simply want to understand more about this major health issue, this episode cuts through the noise with clear, actionable advice. Tune in and learn why treating obesity is about so much more than just the numbers on a scale.This episode is for educational purposes only and does not constitute official medical advice.

Takeaways Menopausal women often prioritize weight gain concerns over other symptoms.The study observed an association between hormone therapy and weight loss with GLP-1 medications.Retrospective studies have limitations but can provide valuable insights.Future research should focus on randomized controlled trials to confirm findings.The relationship between estrogen and GLP-1 signaling needs further exploration.Funding for research can be challenging, especially for early career investigators.Collaboration between different specialties is crucial for comprehensive patient care.The media often misrepresents research findings, leading to misconceptions.Individualized treatment plans are essential for menopausal women.There is a need for more awareness about the effects of menopause on health.Research Links:Weight loss response to semaglutide in postmenopausal women with and without hormone therapy useCombination of obesity medication tirzepatide and menopause hormone therapy fuels weight loss Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
