Why do some people look amazing after procedures while others look strange, swollen and are frankly regretful? In this episode, I'm sitting down again with Dr. Rady Rahban, a Beverly Hills board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, to get brutally honest about what women need to know before plastic surgery. We talk about the procedures that can look beautiful when done well, the ones that are overdone or misunderstood, and the red flags that should make you walk away from a surgeon. My goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and clear-eyed so you can make decisions from confidence instead of fear, pressure, or hype. What you'll learn: (07:13) Modern plastic surgery techniques and anesthesia make procedures safer than ever, but marketing hype can still cloud patient judgment. (08:49) Brazilian Butt Lifts involve highly aggressive liposuction and carry a deadly risk of fat embolisms if injected incorrectly into the muscle. (14:24) A revolutionary donor product called Aliclay allows lean, fit individuals to add cosmetic volume without needing their own harvestable fat. (19:52) The phenomenon known as "Ozempic face" is primarily the natural result of rapid weight loss rather than a specific drug side effect. (24:55) A natural-looking facelift relies entirely on a skilled surgeon knowing exactly how much to adjust the tissue dial without over-pulling. (32:13) Extensive body contouring after massive weight loss requires a highly detailed prioritization plan and realistic economic budgeting. (35:23) Many body contouring surgeons utilize unvetted assistant teams to perform extensive suturing while the primary surgeon exits the room. (38:01) Finding a reputable surgeon requires identifying specific red flags, such as high-pressure sales tactics or a disorganized office environment. Love the podcast?

Something strange is happening. People are drinking less alcohol. Not because they joined a recovery program. Not because they found religion. Not because they suddenly became health gurus. Instead, they're taking Ozempic, talking to AI companions, binge-watching Netflix, ordering DoorDash, and staying home. In this solo episode, Shane dives into one of the biggest cultural shifts happening right now. What if alcohol isn't disappearing because society got healthier? What if it's simply being replaced? We explore how GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are reducing alcohol cravings, why AI companions are becoming a substitute for human connection, and how technology is quietly replacing the role bars and happy hours once played in our lives. This isn't just a conversation about sobriety. It's a conversation about culture, connection, loneliness, comfort, and where we're headed next. The future may be sober. But it might not be for the reasons we think. In this episode: • How Ozempic could disrupt the alcohol industry• Why AI companions are exploding in popularity• The decline of happy hour culture• What technology is replacing in our lives• The hidden connection between alcohol, dopamine, and modern comfort If you've ever wondered where drinking culture is headed, this episode is for you.

Rebecca Morrison is healthy by many measures. But like millions of people today, she finds herself wondering whether or not she should be taking a GLP-1 drug. What's the right thing to do?

If you've been anywhere near the internet in the last couple of years, you've heard about Ozempic and GLP-1 drugs. You've seen the before-and-afters. Maybe a friend asked if you should try it too. And if you're like most of the women Dr. Shivani works with, you may feel confused. The results look real, but something feels off. Are we treating a symptom? Are we missing something deeper?In this episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta tells the story of Veronica, a client who came to her terrified after a bad experience with GLP-1 medication, but still wanting to lose weight, reduce inflammation, and feel like herself again.Through Veronica's story, Dr. Shivani breaks down what GLP-1 actually is, why so many people have a weakened natural GLP-1 response, and how Ayurveda has been supporting this same pathway through agni, bitter foods, gut health, and daily rhythm.You'll learn:What GLP-1 actually is and why your body already makes itWhy GLP-1 drugs work on inflammation, not just appetiteWhy processed food, stress, sleep, and gut imbalance can blunt your natural GLP-1 responseThe Ayurvedic concept of agni and how it connects to GLP-1 biologyNatural ways to support your body's GLP-1 pathway using food, herbs, and rhythmWhat GLP-1 drugs may be helpful for, and what Dr. Shivani wants women to understand firstHow Veronica rebuilt her foundation naturally
Niamh emails in raging about the amount of people taking “fat jabs” like Ozempic and Mounjaro, calling them the “lazy way out” and saying weight loss should be done the old-fashioned way — diet and exercise.Adrian argues it's nobody's business how someone loses weight, once they're healthier. Jeremy isn't having it, saying people don't deserve praise if “the jab did the work”.Stay listening for the awkward moment when Jeremy is called out by a colleague.
People using GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic lose about 7% of their facial fat for every 22 pounds of body weight lost, resulting in a hollow, prematurely aged look Rapid weight loss may drain key nutrients and fatty acids that your body needs to produce collagen and maintain firm, healthy skin "Ozempic face" may indicate an energy imbalance — your cells lose the fuel and structural support they need to keep skin elastic and vibrant Avoiding GLP-1 drugs, eliminating seed oils, and restoring gut health may support metabolic recovery, which research suggests could help restore facial tone and fullness over time Natural tools like polyphenol-rich foods and the right carbohydrates may support weight management without draining your body's nutrient reserves
In this episode, I sit down with Houston-based plastic surgeon Dr. Vinaya Rednam, who specializes in surgery for patients who've lost massive amounts of weight. We get into everything from GLP-1 medications and how they affect tissue quality, to the most common body contouring surgeries after major weight loss, and what you need to know before going under the knife. Topics Discussed: → Who is a good candidate for massive weight loss body contouring? → How do GLP-1 medications affect loose skin and surgical results? → Can you prevent loose skin while losing weight? → What should you know before getting a lower body lift? → Are non-surgical skin tightening treatments worth it? → What should you expect from arm lifts, breast lifts, and thigh lifts? → When is the right time to consider surgery after major weight loss?

I'm exposing the truth about how high-protein foods can mimic the appetite-suppressing effects of weight loss drugs but with benefits instead of side effects. When you use Ozempic or similar medications, up to 40% of your weight loss can come from muscle, devastating your metabolism and setting you up for rebound fat gain. Protein, however, works naturally with your body's hunger hormones—slashing ghrelin for 3+ hours, maintaining healthy leptin levels, and boosting PYY—all while providing essential amino acids for mood-regulating neurotransmitters. I'm sharing my complete Ozempic-mimicking protein protocol, including the magic combination with fiber that naturally stimulates GLP-1 production (the same hormone triggered by those expensive medications). Plus, protein's thermogenic effect means you'll burn more calories digesting it, and when paired with resistance training, you'll maintain or even build metabolism-boosting muscle rather than losing it. What you'll learn: How protein naturally controls hunger through three key hormonal pathways Why Ozempic and similar drugs can cause dangerous muscle loss (up to 40%) The specific protein amounts needed at morning and evening "bumper meals" to control cravings Which protein sources provide the best metabolic benefits How to pair protein with fiber for maximum GLP-1 production The importance of resistance training in a protein-focused weight loss approach Why protein shakes outperformed Ozempic in a recent study for fat loss while preserving muscle Love the podcast?

Discover why hormones are off and what's really driving the imbalance. In this episode, we break down five root causes — from gut dysfunction and disrupted sleep to chronic stress, appetite dysregulation, and omega-3 deficiency — and walk through what you can actually do to fix it. FEATURED PRODUCT Berberine is a powerful botanical compound that acts as a natural GLP-1 supporter — the same metabolic pathway targeted by medications like Ozempic — helping regulate blood sugar, reduce insulin resistance, and restore appetite signaling from the gut. Since metabolic hormones like insulin and leptin are the first to derail your entire hormone cascade, Berberine directly addresses one of the deepest root causes discussed in this episode. It also supports gut microbiome diversity, making it a foundational tool for anyone working to reclaim hormonal balance naturally.
Worried about gaining weight back after Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound?You're not alone. One of the biggest concerns people have during their GLP-1 journey is what happens after the weight loss phase—and how to actually maintain their results long-term.In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna breaks down what sustainable weight maintenance really looks like, why maintaining weight loss is different from losing weight, and the habits that support long-term success.Because keeping weight off isn't about being perfect. It's about building routines that you can realistically maintain for years to come.We're covering:Why weight maintenance is different than weight lossCommon reasons people regain weight after losing itThe role of appetite, food noise, and long-term behavior changeWhy protein and strength training matter for maintenanceHow muscle supports long-term health and weight managementThe mindset shifts that make maintenance easierWhy all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuckWhat successful long-term maintenance actually looks likeWhether you're currently taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound—or simply thinking ahead to the future—this episode will help you focus on the habits that support lasting results.

GLP-1 drugs were first approved to treat diabetes and then caused a frenzy when it was discovered they were great for weight loss. But now scientists are discovering the drugs that have brand names including Ozempic and Mounjaro might offer so much more, from reducing the risk of heart attack to treating kidney disease. Today, Doctor Paul Joyce, a pharmaceutical scientist at Adelaide University on how Ozempic is shaking things up, again. Featured: Doctor Paul Joyce, a pharmaceutical scientist at Adelaide University
Julia Cartwright examines what Ozempic actually is — a diabetes medication, not an FDA-approved weight-loss drug — and explores the real experiences behind the headlines. We discuss effectiveness ranges, common side effects like nausea and gastroparesis, weight regain after stopping, and why semaglutide works best as one tool in comprehensive care.

Semaglutide. Tirzepatide. Retatrutide. The peptide conversation has taken over every gym, group chat, and social media feed. But the part about muscle loss, osteopenia, and what the gray market is actually selling you? That part is getting buried. Chalene Johnson sits down with Adam Schafer, co-host of Mind Pump, one of the top fitness podcasts in the world with nearly half a billion downloads. Adam spent three and a half years running real test groups on GLP-1s including Ozempic and Wegovy. What he found changed his perspective entirely and he is not holding back. This conversation covers what is actually driving muscle and bone density loss in women over 40 and 50, why the scale and the mirror are lying about body composition, and what most women are getting wrong about building real strength in midlife. Plus the truth about the gray market and what those peptides may actually contain. This is the conversation the fitness industry is not having and it is one every woman over 40 needs to hear.

Ashley flips the script on how we talk about weight with kids — moving away from diets, BMI, and body shame, and toward understanding what the body is actually telling us. She explains how hormones like GLP-1, GIP, and PYY are made in the gut lining, why antibiotics and medications can disrupt them for years, and what that means for growing bodies. The conversation also tackles the rising use of GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy) in kids as young as 10 — what the research says, what parents and teens should know, and why these medications are a tool, not a solution on their own. In this episode, you'll learn: Why weight is a signal, not a sentence What GLP-1, GIP, and gut hormones actually do — explained simply How antibiotics and medications affect your hormones for years The truth about GLP-1 medications for kids and teens 3 daily habits to naturally support hormone balance Why BMI is a flawed measure — and what to look at instead The "race car" nutrition approach that keeps your body running better What "better, not perfect" really means for teenagers Guest: Ashley Koff, RD — Founder of The Better Nutrition Program, author of Your Best Shot, recognized by CNN as one of the Top 100 Health Makers.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken sits down with Kelly Schmidt, diabetic dietitian and longtime Type 1 diabetes advocate, to have a deep conversation about one of the biggest topics in diabetes right now:With medications like Ozempic and other GLP-1-based therapies becoming more common, there are a lot of questions:1. Are these just weight-loss medications?2. Can people with Type 1 diabetes benefit from them?3. How do you use them safely?4. What happens with food, muscle, digestion, and long-term health?Kelly shares her personal experience using GLP-1 medications since 2017 and explains why these medications are about much more than weight loss. The conversation explores how GLP-1s impact appetite, digestion, hormones, inflammation, and blood sugar management.Ken and Kelly also discuss the difference between single agonists and dual agonists, why the “strongest” medication is not always the best medication, and why having conversations with your healthcare team is critical when deciding what works for your individual needs. The episode also dives into some of the biggest concerns people with Type 1 diabetes have:Can GLP-1 medications worsen gastroparesis?Do they cause bone loss?How do you protect muscle while using these medications?What role do protein and strength training play?Kelly shares practical guardrails around using these medications, including the importance of adequate nutrition, resistance training, and building systems that support your health—not just chasing a number on the scale.This episode is an honest conversation about a rapidly evolving area of diabetes care and how people with Type 1 diabetes can ask better questions, understand their options, and make informed decisions with their healthcare team.
If you suffer from "Ozempic Butt", there may be good news for you?
Join Udi Lazimy, Founder & CEO of FUDI Protein, for a conversation on what may be the most important protein opportunity hiding in plain sight — and why the food industry has been routing it through a cow instead of putting it on your plate.After leading Sourcing and Sustainability at Eat Just — makers of Just Mayo and Just Egg — Udi saw firsthand how fragile and opaque alternative protein supply chains had become. His answer was FUDI: a food and agtech startup built on regenerative American-grown alfalfa, near-field mobile processing, and a circular model that returns byproducts to farmers as premium feed. The result is RuBisCO — the most abundant protein on Earth — unlocked for human food for the first time at commercial scale.In this episode, we get into the science, the supply chain logic, the crowdfunding strategy, and what it really takes to build a protein company that can rival egg white and whey on performance, price, and sustainability.

Peptides are everywhere. Ozempic won't leave the headlines. And social media seems determined to convince us that the next health breakthrough is only one purchase away. So what's actually worth paying attention to? In this episode, Danielle welcomes celebrity trainer, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author Harley Pasternak for an unfiltered conversation about the biggest wellness trends dominating the internet right now. From peptides and Ozempic to detoxes, supplements, fiber-maxxing, and celebrity health culture, Harley breaks down what's backed by science, what's overhyped, and what's potentially dangerous. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Harley says most peptides being promoted online are essentially an uncontrolled experiment on human beings The surprising reason he trusts Ozempic and GLP-1s, but remains deeply skeptical of most other peptides The scary reality of what's actually being found inside many peptides sold online Why "Big Pharma doesn't want you to know" is often a red flag, not a revelation The wellness trend Harley says has absolutely no evidence behind it How social media created a generation of people taking supplements they can't explain Why Harley changed his mind about Ozempic after years of opposing it The concept of "food noise" and what GLP-1s may actually be doing inside the brain The shocking reason Harley walked away from The Biggest Loser before it became a hit Why focusing on weight loss can make you less healthy (and what to focus on instead) The Viktor Frankl quote that completely changed Harley's approach to health, happiness, and success The lesson about weight loss that most busy people miss Why intermittent fasting may be a lot less revolutionary than you've been led to believe The one form of exercise Harley believes every woman should prioritize—even if she hates it What working with Jessica Simpson, Megan Fox, Halle Berry, and the Kardashians taught Harley about discipline and success In a world obsessed with hacks, shortcuts, and miracle solutions, what Harley says actually works Make sure to follow Harley on Instagram @harleypasternak Check out Harley’s latest book The Carb Reset hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Καλεσμένος ο Δρ. Αριστομένης Τουρβάς, Παθολόγος–Εντατικολόγος, με πιστοποίηση SCOPE και εξειδίκευση στην παχυσαρκία. Μια νέα εποχή φαίνεται να ξεκινά στην αντιμετώπιση της παχυσαρκίας. Σε κλινικές μελέτες ενός νέου φαρμάκου, ασθενείς έχασαν πάνω από το 25% του βάρους τους. Μέσα σε λίγα χρόνια, φάρμακα όπως το Ozempic, το Wegovy και το Mounjaro πέρασαν από τα ιατρεία και τα επιστημονικά συνέδρια, στα πρωτοσέλιδα, στα social media και στις καθημερινές συζητήσεις. Για κάποιους αποτελούν μια επανάσταση στην ιατρική. Για άλλους, μια εξέλιξη που συνοδεύεται από μεγάλες προσδοκίες αλλά και σημαντικά ερωτήματα για την ασφάλεια, τη χρήση και το μέλλον τους. Μπορούν πραγματικά αυτά τα φάρμακα να αλλάξουν τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αντιμετωπίζουμε την παχυσαρκία; Πόσο αποτελεσματικά και πόσο ασφαλή είναι; Σε ποιους απευθύνονται; Και βρισκόμαστε πράγματι μπροστά σε μια νέα εποχή στην ιατρική; Ίσως στη σημαντικότερη εξέλιξη στην αντιμετώπιση της παχυσαρκίας από τότε που η ιατρική άρχισε να τη θεωρεί νόσο;

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound have become some of the most talked-about treatments for weight loss, but their benefits may extend far beyond the scale. In this episode, Diana breaks down what GLP-1 medications are, how they work in the body, and what current research shows about kidney health. She explores the growing evidence for kidney protection, discusses emerging research in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and shares practical considerations for people with PKD who are considering semaglutide or tirzepatide medications.

Your body already makes peptides every single day — so before you write them off as another wellness trend or jump on the Ozempic hype train, it's time to actually understand what they are. In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we breaks down peptides from the ground up — no hype, no fear, just a real explanation of what they are, how they communicate with your body, and why the conversation is so much bigger than weight loss. She walks through five specific peptides (semaglutide/Ozempic, retatrutide, BPC-157, GHK-Cu, and CJC-1295/ipamorelin), explains where they sit on the spectrum between supplements and steroids, and makes the case for why foundations always come first — even if you're curious about peptides for gut healing, skin, recovery, or longevity. KEY TAKEAWAYS: 1. Peptides aren't supplements and they aren't steroids — they're precision keys that fit one specific lock and turn on one specific system. More targeted than a supplement, way less system-wide than a steroid. 2. "Peptides" ≠ "Ozempic." The peptide world covers gut healing, skin, recovery, longevity, and more. The weight-loss lens is exactly why everyone's either over-hyped or scared. 3. Foundations first — always. Sleep, food, movement, stress. No peptide, no matter how well-targeted, will land in a body running on empty. Chapters: (00:00) Welcome (00:51) What Even Is a Peptide?

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (6.8) Conway kicks off the hour with the latest on Primm casino resorts, as LV Petroleum emerges as a leading potential buyer and operator trying to save the properties before a possible July 4 shutdown. The desert drama continues as the Primm family looks for a new partner to keep the casino town alive. Then the news turns global and wild: a plane headed to pick up MLB legend Yadier Molina and his family crashes on its way to Texas, a massive 7.8 earthquake strikes the southern Philippines, and a rare 6.1 earthquake rattles off the coast of Cuba. The crew jumps into NBA Finals fever with Knicks vs. Spurs, Game 3, and the insane ticket prices surrounding New York’s run — from thousands just to get in the building to courtside seats going for hundreds of thousands. Later, Conway gets into new weight-loss drugs, changing body sizes, and how GLP-1s are creating chaos for retail returns as people keep swapping clothes while trying to find their new size. Plus, Bellio’s yacht wedding, Conway trying to escape a cruise, strange things spotted on walks, and one beard that was apparently a total turnoff. The hour wraps with the sad wave of Southern California restaurant closures, including memories of Gulliver’s in Newport Beach, as rising food costs, labor costs, regulations, and changing spending habits put pressure on longtime local favorites.

Peptides have gained a broad following across the country, promoted by everyone from online influencers to the nation's top health official, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Now, there's a weight loss drug in development that's being touted as "Ozempic on steroids," but it has not been approved by the FDA. As our Adam Yamaguchi found, that hasn't stopped doctors from offering it for sale.LinkedIn's latest workforce report found hiring rates are nearly 5% lower than a year ago. Catherine Fisher, a LinkedIn career expert, explains how job applicants can break through the market, using AI when applying and more.Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg talks to CBS News about his 34th feature film, "Disclosure Day," which explores what would happen if all of the evidence about UFOs and alien life was released to the entire world and proved we are not alone. He also discusses his opinion on aliens, saying they "have been here and they are here." CBS News contributor David Begnaud went to New Orleans to ask everyday Americans who believed in them. He spoke with 23-year-old Chris Wurl who described how a former coach made a major impact on his life.
One of the biggest questions people ask about GLP-1 medications is:“What happens if I stop taking it?”Whether you're taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, you may have concerns about losing insurance coverage, reaching your goal weight, medication costs, long-term use, or the possibility of regaining weight in the future.In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna breaks down what the research actually shows about stopping a GLP-1 medication, the factors that influence weight regain, and what you can start doing now to support long-term success.We're covering:What happens when you stop a GLP-1 medicationWhether weight regain is inevitableWhy hunger and food noise may change after discontinuationCommon myths about stopping Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and ZepboundWhy willpower is not the solutionThe habits that support long-term weight maintenanceWhat to do if you lose access to your medicationHow to think about weight regain without shame or fearIf you've ever worried about what happens after a GLP-1, this episode will help you approach the conversation with more knowledge, less fear, and a realistic plan for the future.
A headline like “weight loss drugs may reduce breast cancer risk” grabs attention fast, but the real story lives in the fine print. We take you through a new Penn Medicine study that observed lower breast cancer rates among women with overweight or obesity who used GLP-1 medications, then we translate what that finding actually means in plain language. Observational data can reveal a signal worth studying, but it cannot prove the medication caused the outcome, and that distinction matters for your decisions and your expectations. We also zoom out to the bigger why: obesity is not just about body size. Fat tissue is biologically active, shaping chronic inflammation, estrogen exposure after menopause, insulin resistance, and even how well the immune system spots abnormal cells. Those pathways help explain why obesity is linked to many cancers, including postmenopausal breast cancer, and why researchers are curious whether effective obesity treatment could shift risk over time. Then we get practical. We review what stronger evidence from randomized controlled trials says so far: GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound do not appear to increase breast cancer risk in the available trial data, even though most trials were not designed to study cancer outcomes for many years. We also discuss why newer studies seem most suggestive for hormone receptor positive breast cancer, along with the leading theories: weight loss itself, improved metabolic health and insulin signaling, reduced inflammation, and the still-unclear possibility of direct GLP-1 effects in cancer biology. If you like evidence-based medicine with real-world context (and a little Philly-life banter), subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

What happens to bariatric surgery when GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound change the entire weight loss landscape?In this episode, Dr. Matthew Weiner and registered dietitian Zoe unpack what they saw at the 2026 ASMBS annual conference - a meeting that felt very different from prior years. Surgical volumes are down, many bariatric surgeons are wrestling with what GLP-1s mean for their practices, and patients are left trying to figure out whether medication, nutrition, surgery, or some combination makes the most sense.Dr. Weiner explains why bariatric surgery still matters, but no longer belongs in the same place in the treatment sequence. For many patients, a GLP-1 trial should come first. For others, especially non-responders, patients with severe diabetes, or people losing mobility, surgery may be the safest and most effective next step.They also discuss why low-dose GLP-1s may be more sustainable than high-dose treatment, how to recognize a medication non-response, and why the best obesity care in 2026 combines nutrition, medication, surgery, and long-term support instead of forcing patients into one silo.
Dans cet épisode, je reçois le Docteur Laurent Chevallier, médecin nutritionniste et auteur de Maigrir avec les nouveaux médicaments : révolution ou poison ?, pour parler d'un sujet qui déchaîne les débats depuis quelques années : les médicaments anti-obésité : les fameux GLP-1, Ozempic, Mounjaro. On les entend partout, on voit des stars en faire la promo, et pourtant on comprend rarement ce qu'ils font vraiment dans le corps, à qui ils s'adressent, et ce qu'ils ne règlent pas.Ce qui m'a frappée dans cet échange, c'est à quel point la question du poids est biologiquement complexe, bien au-delà du "mange moins, bouge plus" qu'on entend encore trop souvent.Dans cet épisode, on parle de :Pourquoi il est si difficile de maigrir, et ce que la science dit aujourd'hui sur la mémoire métaboliqueCe que sont vraiment les analogues GLP-1 : leur mécanisme d'action, leur histoire, et pourquoi ils ont d'abord été développés pour le diabèteLes trois effets concrets de ces médicaments : glycémie, estomac, cerveauCe qu'on perd vraiment quand on perd du poids rapidement : muscles, os, micronutrimentsLes carences silencieuses auxquelles faire attention et pourquoi les autres médicaments qu'on prend peuvent aussi être perturbésLes effets secondaires mineurs et les risques plus sérieuxPourquoi les critères actuels de prescription (IMC, poids) sont insuffisants et ce qu'il faudrait regarder à la placeCe qui se passe quand on arrête : les chiffres sur la reprise de poidsLa question des nouvelles formes orales à venir, et pourquoi le Dr Chevallier reste prudentLe rôle des perturbateurs endocriniens, des aliments ultratransformés et du stress dans l'obésitéCe que le Dr Chevallier prescrit vraiment et dans quelles situations précisesPourquoi il défend une médecine de prévention plutôt qu'une médecine de rattrapageEt vous : est-ce que cet épisode change votre regard sur ces médicaments ou sur la question du poids en général ?

Are ZYNs gas-station Ozempic or a dopamine loan shark? Nick Pell digs into the nicotine pouch boom this Skeptical Sunday — and the verdict is messy.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1340On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:ZYNs are a tobacco-free nicotine pouch born from Swedish "snus." Swedish Match engineers extracted nicotine salts and loaded them into food-grade fillers, creating a shelf-stable white pouch that doesn't stain teeth or require spitting. Philip Morris bought the company for $16 billion in 2022.The harm-reduction case is strong, but "less harmful" isn't "harmless." ZYNs skip the carbon monoxide, tar, and lung damage of cigarettes, and carry roughly 90 — 99% lower carcinogens. But they still raise heart rate and blood pressure, can cause gum recession, disrupt sleep, and remain wildly addictive.The user base skews young, male, and white.
