On this episode of Good Day Health, host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) dive into this week's top health stories and answer listener questions with expert insights. First up: AI in medicine. Dr. Ken shares how he prefers to think of artificial intelligence as “Assisted Intelligence,” explaining how new technologies are enhancing diagnostics and patient care. One example? Advanced AI models can now analyze heart MRIs and medical records to detect subtle scar patterns that predict sudden cardiac death — a game-changer in preventive cardiology. Speaking of prevention, Dr. Ken emphasizes a growing “fourth pillar” in the fight against heart disease: vaccinations for common infections, joining the ranks of diet, exercise, and medication. Then, Doug shares a wild personal story: after days of ear pain and a misdiagnosis of infection, the true culprit was revealed — a ladybug stuck in his ear. This leads into a broader discussion on ear health and new research showing that wearing hearing aids may actually improve your social life. Also on the brain: New research finds that the human hippocampus — the brain's memory center — continues generating new neurons even in old age, offering new hope for cognitive longevity. Listener questions include:Is Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) offering more than weight loss benefits, such as protecting limbs in patients with Type 2 diabetes?What's up with the new COVID-19 variant XFG (“Stratus”) and its unusual symptom — a raspy voice?Join Doug and Dr. Ken for a fast-paced, informative hour packed with useful health tips, surprising discoveries, and practical advice for everyday wellness.Webstie: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Uma descoberta surpreendente está emergindo entre usuários de medicamentos GLP-1 como Ozempic e Wegovy: essas drogas revolucionárias para perda de peso não apenas suprimem o apetite, mas estão alterando fundamentalmente como percebemos cheiros.Kara Nesvig, colecionadora de mais de 100 perfumes, descobriu que seus aromas favoritos - especialmente fragrâncias de baunilha que antes evocavam memórias românticas - começaram a provocar náuseas intensas após iniciar tratamento com semaglutida. Sua experiência não é isolada: milhares de usuários relatam mudanças olfativas dramáticas, desde aversão total a perfumes até "fome" por fragrâncias doces.A ciência por trás desse fenômeno é fascinante. O Dr. Hiroaki Matsunami, autoridade mundial em neurobiologia olfativa da Universidade Duke, explica que temos aproximadamente 1.000 tipos de receptores olfativos, cada um detectando moléculas específicas. Pesquisas recentes revelaram que o GLP-1 tem circuitos neurais separados no cérebro - alguns controlam saciedade sem aversão, outros desencadeiam forte repulsa.Cinco teorias científicas explicam as alterações: ruptura do sistema de recompensa cerebral, reprogramação de memórias olfativas, aversão condicionada similar à intoxicação alimentar, hipersensibilidade aos cheiros, e mudanças hormonais comparáveis à gravidez.Estudos controlados confirmam o fenômeno: 85% dos usuários de GLP-1 tiveram pontuações de paladar piores que controles, e paradoxalmente, aqueles com melhor olfato e paladar experimentam mais efeitos colaterais como náusea.A conexão com COVID-19 oferece insights valiosos - assim como o vírus causa alterações olfativas duradouras, os GLP-1 estão reescrevendo nossa percepção sensorial através de vias hormonais.Esta descoberta vai além da curiosidade: pode revolucionar tratamentos personalizados, ajudar no desenvolvimento de terapias para transtornos alimentares, e transformar nossa compreensão sobre como medicina, mente e memória se interconectam de formas surpreendentes.ReferênciasNesvig K.

I am honored to reconnect with Dr. Tracy Gapin today. He is a board-certified urologist and men's health expert.  The current state of metabolic health in the United States and most Westernized countries has sparked a great interest in a GLP1 agonist, AKA Semaglutide Ozempic. I wanted to speak with a clinician who actively uses this medication. Dr. Gapin and I discuss what this drug class represents. (These are synthetic peptides.) We speak about Semaglutide, Ozempic, Wegovy, and oral Rybelsus. We get into current research, side effects, who should not take these medications, the mechanisms of action specific to the pancreas and beta cells, reductions, gastric emptying, and the upregulation of satiety. We discuss changes in the brain regarding leptin and how these drugs work. We also talk about weight loss resistance, and I answer questions from listeners.  From my perspective, it all comes back to basics. I believe that if we are to prescribe these medications, we must help our patients understand how lifestyle impacts weight-loss resistance and metabolic health. I loved that Dr. Tracy spent some time talking about the specific ways he works with his patients, even before prescribing medications. He also explains how important he feels this drug has been for his patients. I approached today's conversation with an open mind, and I hope you will do the same. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: GLP1 agonists, and how they help Dr. Tracy motivate his patients to lose weight What are GLP1 agonists, and how do they work? Physical benefits of GLP1 agonists Who is Semaglutide not appropriate for? Common side-effects of GLP1 agonists How those who fail to implement lifestyle changes when they stop using Semaglutide may regain all the weight they lost Hydration while using Semaglutide Protein intake when taking Semaglutide How to follow the metrics that matter Factors that could hinder successful weight loss What Dr. Tracy does to ensure his patients do not regain the weight they lost after they stop using Semaglutide Listener questions: Why is a diabetic drug being used for non-diabetics? Does this drug target muscle versus fat in terms of weight loss? For how long do most patients take it? Are there unique characteristics in perimenopausal and menopausal women that must be accounted for differently? Bio: Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist and a world-renowned expert in men's health and performance, as well as the founder of the Gapin Institute, the global leader in High-Performance Health.  He has over 20 years of experience focused on men's health optimization, human performance, and longevity, providing executives & entrepreneurs a personalized path to fulfill their highest potential.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest news, science, and lived experiences around Ozempic – and how it's transforming the landscape of weight management and health. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, began as a treatment for type two diabetes but quickly made waves for its powerful effect on weight loss. According to Yale University, Ozempic works by slowing stomach emptying and interacting with the brain's appetite regulation centers, naturally decreasing hunger and helping you feel fuller longer. Major clinical trials, as reported by the New England Journal of Medicine, found that people using Ozempic lost on average fifteen percent of their body weight over a sixty-eight-week period. That's a significant shift in the fight against obesity and has inspired a wave of success stories in 2025.Take Maria, a forty-two-year-old mother of two who, after years of struggling with different diets, lost thirty-five pounds in six months after her doctor prescribed Ozempic. She combined her medication with healthy foods and daily walks, gaining more energy and renewed self-confidence. John, a long-time executive living with type two diabetes, lost forty pounds and enjoyed not only improved blood sugar but the feeling of having his life back. Their stories, shared on Yale's health campus, point to the idea that consistency, a holistic approach, and strong support from healthcare professionals and family make all the difference.Ozempic doesn't just bring physical changes. Dr. Daniel Drucker, who helped develop GLP-1 medicines like Ozempic, told Toronto Life that the drug's success has helped validate obesity as a biological, not just behavioral, condition. For many, it's become proof that medical science can help overcome a complex health challenge – not just willpower alone.Globally, Ozempic and its sister drug, Wegovy, are reshaping national health systems like the NHS in the United Kingdom. NHS reports show over three million prescriptions for Ozempic issued annually, a testament to its popularity and potential. Wegovy, which is a higher-dose version designed specifically for weight loss, became available through specialist services in 2024. Healthcare leaders stress, however, that medications like Ozempic should support, not replace, good nutrition and regular activity. A combined approach delivers the best outcomes, and ongoing monitoring is essential to managing both progress and any possible side effects.Speaking of side effects, most users report mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal issues, especially at the start. There are still open questions about the long-term risks, and health authorities caution against unlicensed or cosmetic providers offering Ozempic outside proper medical supervision.In the competitive field of weight loss drugs, new challengers are emerging. According to Drugs.com and recent publications in JAMA Internal Medicine, Mounjaro, which combines GLP-1 and another gut hormone, has shown even greater weight loss than Ozempic in large studies. Nearly eighty-two percent of people using Mounjaro lost at least five percent of their body weight, compared to about sixty-seven percent for Ozempic. There's also a promising newcomer: a once-monthly shot called MariTide, which recent phase two trials show may rival or even exceed Ozempic's results, though it is not yet widely available.Looking ahead, Ozempic and its competitors are not just for type two diabetes or general obesity. A June 2025 study reported by Live Science found Ozempic's active ingredient may even help people with type one diabetes manage blood sugar and lose weight, hinting at a broader impact on medicine in the years to come.That wraps up this episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

What do Zumba and Greek dancing have to do with bone density? Why should you shave first and soak later? And who gets to decide whether you can have a hysterectomy for health reasons if you haven’t had kids yet? In this episode, Endocrinologist Dr Sonia Davison from Jean Hailes for Women’s Health talks about whether diet and exercise can prevent dementia and what waist circumference has to do with healthy ageing. She also discusses how stomping, sleeping and strength training should all be part of the puzzle as you get older. We also talk about intermittent fasting and how cups of tea with your girlfriends could be just what the doctor ordered. And, is it possible to delay your ‘hormone window of chaos’?

Ozempic is one of the most import new medications in a generation. The scientist who created it is a self-described "nerd," who grew up on a farm in Denmark and has no interest in the limelight. Lotte Knudsen started her career working on laundry detergent enzymes, but eventually joined a team at the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk that was tasked with looking for new treatments for diabetes. She was convinced that a recently discovered human hormone called GLP-1 could be made into a powerful medication, not only for Type 2 diabetes, but also for weight loss. It took 20 years of hard work and persistence for her and her team to figure it out, but their creation now shows promise as a worthy foe of heart disease, kidney disease, Parkinson's, alcoholism & Alzheimer's as well. In this episode Lotte Knudsen tells her story, and we hear from two of the other scientists who made critical contributions to this revolution in medicine: Mads Thomsen and Daniel Drucker.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Top story – looking back at The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions conference. I won't recap everything here – but I'll link up to a few more comprehensive article. Here's just a taste! XX A single infusion of a new stem cell-based treatment helped 10 out of 12 people with severe type 1 diabetes stop using insulin, researchers report. The treatment, called zimislecel, was made by Vertex Pharmaceuticals. It's an infusion of lab-grown islet cells. A year after getting the therapy, 10 patients no longer needed insulin shots. The other two were able to reduce how much insulin they needed.  The treatment requires patients to take immunosuppressive drugs, which may raise the risk of infections or cancer in the long run, experts said. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2025-06-24/stem-cell-treatment-may-free-some-with-type-1-diabetes-from-insulin XX New study shows inhaled insulin is safe and effective for children with type 1 diabetes. This is Mannkind's Afrezza, which takes the place of rapid-acting mealtime insulin. Findings indicate that inhaled insulin delivers glycemic control comparable to injected rapid-acting insulin. Inhaled insulin was also associated with less weight gain and slightly higher patient and parent preference scores. These findings add to outcomes shared from INHALE 1 late last year. Based on the findings of the inhaled insulin study, MannKind looks to seek FDA approval to expand Afrezza's indication to children. The company also aims to evaluate inhaled insulin at diagnosis and in automated insulin delivery systems in additional studies. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/study-mannkind-inhaled-insulin-safe-effective-children/ XX Positive outcomes in two different studies looking at GLP 1 medications for type 1. Semaglutide – brand name Ozempic or Wegovy - reduced glucose levels and weight among patients with type 1 diabetes and obesity. 26-week, double-blind trial of 72 adults, those taking Ozempic spent More than 70% time spent in sensor glucose range (70-180 mg/dL) Less than 4% time spent in hypoglycemia (

There are serious potential side effects to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. Today we're diving into a topic that's been everywhere lately: GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss. You may know them by names like Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. I want to give you a clear, realistic picture of what to expect—because while the media loves to highlight the dramatic before-and-after photos, the real journey can be slower and more nuanced for some. So in this episode, we're going to talk about the truth—what these medications can do, what they can't, how long things really take, and what you need to know to set yourself up for success. Not hype, not magic promises—just real, honest insight to help you understand the process. Let's get into it. How GLP-1 & GIP/GLP-1 Agonists Work So first things first—how do these meds work? Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Basically, they mimic natural hormones in your body that help regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and—most importantly for weight loss—reduce appetite and improve satiety. That means you feel fuller faster and stay full longer. You're not obsessing over food like before. And that's powerful. But—and this is a big one— these peptides don't magically erase years of weight gain overnight. What they do is help make weight loss easier by reducing hunger and supporting your metabolism—but they don't do all the work for you. It's important to remember they're a powerful tool, not a replacement for your efforts. You're still in control of your choices, habits, and long-term success. Why We Titrate the Dose—and What "Therapeutic Dose" Means Now, let's talk about dosing. When you start Wegovy, you don't start at the highest dose. It's gradually increased over several weeks to give your body time to adjust and to help reduce side effects like nausea or stomach upset. The usual schedule looks like this: You'll start with 0.25 mg once a week for the first month. Then it increases every four weeks—0.5 mg, then 1 mg, then 1.7 mg. By week 17, most people reach the full dose of 2.4 mg once a week—that's the dose shown in studies to lead to the most consistent weight loss, with many people losing around 15% of their total body weight over about a year. But here's the thing—not everyone follows this path exactly, and that's okay. Some people need to slow down or stay longer at a lower dose if they're having side effects. Others may need to increase sooner if they're not seeing appetite changes and are tolerating the medication well. And even though 2.4 mg is considered the “therapeutic dose,” not everyone needs to reach it. Some people feel great and lose weight at a lower dose—and if that's you, that's your sweet spot. The real goal is to find the lowest effective dose that controls your hunger, helps you lose weight at a steady pace, and keeps side effects to a minimum. This isn't a one-size-fits-all journey, and pushing through side effects just to hit the max dose isn't necessary—or safe. Your best dose is the one your body handles well and helps you make progress. *How Much Weight Can You Expect to Lose—and How Fast? Let's take a look at the clinical studies. In large trials, people on semaglutide lost about 15% of their total body weight over 68 weeks. For tirzepatide, it was even higher—20% or more in some cases. But here's the thing—those results happened over a year to a year and a half. Not 6 weeks. Not 3 months. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Also, most of the weight loss doesn't happen during the titration phase. You may see some weight loss early on, especially if your appetite plummets. But the bulk of the weight loss happens once you reach and maintain your therapeutic dose. Why Everyone's Journey Looks Different I can't stress this enough—everybody's journey is different. Some people feel zero hunger from their very first injection. Others don't notice a big change until week 10 or 12. Some drop 10 pounds in the first month. Others lose two pounds and feel discouraged. All of those experiences are normal. Your age, hormones, medications, stress levels, sleep, and past diet history? They all play a role. And let's be real—gaining 20, 50, or 100 pounds didn't happen in a few weeks, right? It likely took months or even years of lifestyle habits, hormonal shifts, emotional eating, or underlying conditions. So we have to give ourselves that same grace and patience when we're trying to take the weight off—even with medical support. Navigating Side Effects and Setbacks Let's talk about the side effects. Nausea, constipation, acid reflux, bloating—yeah, these are pretty common as your body adjusts. And sometimes, those symptoms are your body's way of saying: Hey, slow down. Pushing through intense side effects just to hit a higher dose isn't the goal. In fact, it's not safe. You want the lowest effective dose that keeps your appetite under control, the weight coming off gradually, and your side effects minimal or nonexistent. If you need to pause treatment to let your gut settle or even go back down a dose, that's not failure. That's smart, safe self-care. We're in this for the long haul. Trial and Error with Food—and That's OK One part of this journey that catches people off guard is how sensitive your stomach becomes—especially to certain foods or drinks. Greasy or fried foods, spicy meals, carbonated drinks, alcohol—these can all be triggers for nausea or even vomiting while you're on this medication.  And it makes sense when you think about it: the medication slows down how quickly food and drink leave your stomach. So if you're eating or drinking things that already tend to irritate the stomach lining, the effects can hit harder and last longer. Even if those foods didn't bother you before starting treatment, they might now. It's just one of those things your body has to adjust to, and it may take some trial and error to figure out what still works for you. What is Healthy, Sustainable Weight Loss? So what's a healthy pace of weight loss? In general, 1 to 2 pounds per week is considered safe and sustainable. But on GLP-1s, that might vary. Some weeks you may lose 3 pounds. Some weeks, nothing. And guess what? That's normal. You're looking for overall downward trends, not perfection. The goal here is steady, sustainable fat loss—not dropping weight so quickly that you feel miserable, drained, or start losing muscle. Remember, we're not chasing “skinny”—we're aiming for strong, lean, energized, and healthy. And I know we've talked about this before, but it's worth repeating: exercise is not optional when you're on a GLP-1. It's a must. When you lose weight, you lose both fat and muscle. If you're not actively working to maintain or build muscle, you risk becoming weaker and slowing down your metabolism in the process. We want to keep the muscle you have—and ideally, build more—so your body stays strong and your results last. What Is a “Non-Responder”? Now let's touch on something important: what if the medication doesn't seem to work? Let's talk about what it means to be a “non-responder” on a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy or Zepbound. In clinical terms, a non-responder is someone who has been on their therapeutic dose for at least 3 months and has lost less than 5% of their total body weight—even though they're taking the medication correctly and making lifestyle changes like adjusting their diet, increasing physical activity, and managing stress or sleep. Let's break that down with an example: If someone weighs 200 pounds, 5% of their total body weight would be 10 pounds. So if they've been on their therapeutic dose for 12 weeks and have only lost, say, 4 or 5 pounds—despite doing everything right—they may be considered a non-responder. But as we mentioned before, everyone's therapeutic dose may be different. The therapeutic dose isn't just the maximum dose like 2.4 mg of semaglutide or 15 mg of tirzepatide. It's the dose at which you personally begin to experience consistent appetite suppression, weight loss, and minimal side effects. For some people, that may happen at 1 mg of semaglutide. Others may not feel much of a difference until they reach the full 2.4 mg. Some may even respond better at 1.7 mg and not tolerate the higher dose at all. That's why we titrate slowly, monitor your symptoms, and assess both how you feel and how your body is responding. So how do we know if you've reached your therapeutic dose? We look at things like: Has your appetite significantly decreased? Are you noticing earlier fullness or fewer cravings? Are you losing weight consistently over time Are side effects tolerable or nonexistent? If the answer is yes, you're probably at your therapeutic dose. But if the answer is no—if your hunger hasn't changed much, the scale hasn't moved, and you're not noticing any shift in your eating patterns after 3 months on a stable, higher dose—it might be time to re-evaluate. That could mean adjusting the dose, checking for other health issues that might be interfering (like thyroid problems or certain medications), or even considering a different treatment approach. *So what are my final thoughts?  Your journey is unique. Not everyone responds the same way, and that's okay. The key is finding what works for your body, not just what the label says. These medications can absolutely change lives. But they're not magic. They work with your efforts—not instead of them. You'll need to be patient, flexible, and kind to yourself along the way. You may need to tweak your dose, change your food choices, or give your body time to adjust. That's part of the process. And remember—this isn't just about weight loss. It's about reclaiming your health, confidence, and energy. So take it one step at a time. Celebrate every win. And know that slow progress is still progress.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  Today, we're taking a close look at 5-Amino-1MQ—a compound gaining attention for its potential to improve fat loss, metabolic health, and longevity. We'll break down how it works, the science behind it, and what that could mean for your health. Let's get started. So, What Is 5-Amino-1MQ? Now, just to clear something up—5-Amino-1MQ isn't actually a peptide. A lot of people assume it is because it's often talked about alongside peptides like semaglutide or BPC-157, but it's actually a small molecule compound. Its full name is 5-Amino-1-methyl-quino-linium—yeah, a bit of a mouthful—and it's designed to block an enzyme called NNMT. By doing that, it helps keep more NAD⁺ available in your cells, which is a big deal for energy production and metabolic health. It was originally developed in the world of metabolic research. Scientists were exploring ways to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce fat accumulation—especially the dangerous kind, visceral fat. So, while it plays in the same space as peptides when it comes to benefits—like fat loss, energy, and longevity—it's a totally different kind of compound. Think of it more like a targeted metabolic activator than a signaling peptide. Before we move on, I want to talk about visceral fat for a bit.  Visceral fat is the fat that builds up deep inside your abdomen, around your internal organs like your liver, pancreas, and intestines. It's different from the fat you can pinch under your skin—like on your belly or thighs. That's called subcutaneous fat. Now, why is visceral fat a problem? Because it's metabolically active, which means it doesn't just sit there—it releases hormones and inflammatory chemicals that can mess with your body's systems. High levels of visceral fat are linked to things like insulin resistance, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and a greater risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even certain cancers. So even if someone looks slim on the outside, having too much visceral fat on the inside can still be dangerous for their health. *What Is NNMT and Why Do We Want to Block It? Let's Talk About The Science. NNMT stands for nicotinamide N-methyltransferase.  This enzyme tends to be more active in people who are overweight or have metabolic issues. When that happens, it uses up a lot of something called NAD⁺—a compound your cells need to create energy, especially in the mitochondria, which are like the power plants of your cells. So when NNMT levels go up, here's what tends to happen: You end up with less NAD⁺, your metabolism slows down, your body stores more fat, and your cells just don't have the same energy or resilience. That's where 5-Amino-1MQ comes in. It blocks NNMT, helping your cells hold onto more NAD⁺—and that changes everything. The Metabolic Benefits of Blocking NNMT *So what happens when you increase NAD⁺ inside your cells? Well, in studies—especially in animal models—5-Amino-1MQ led to: Fat breakdown and reduced fat accumulation Improved insulin sensitivity A 30% drop in cholesterol levels And get this—mice lost 5% of their body weight in just 11 days, without changes to diet or exercise. And here's the kicker—no signs of toxicity or behavioral changes. No weird side effects. Just better metabolic function. Muscle Preservation & Longevity Pathways *One of the most promising things about 5-Amino-1MQ goes beyond fat loss—it's what it could mean for preserving muscle. Blocking NNMT might actually help you keep your muscle while you're losing fat. That's a big deal—especially if you've ever tried to drop weight and felt like you were losing strength along with it. This is important because most weight loss methods cause you to lose both fat and muscle, which can slow your metabolism and reduce strength. Preserving muscle while burning fat helps you maintain energy, performance, and long-term metabolic health. There's also some solid evidence it can boost muscle performance and endurance, which tracks when you think about how it raises NAD⁺. And because NAD⁺ is involved in things like cell repair, mitochondrial function, and longevity pathways like sirtuin activation, you're not just burning fat—you're potentially supporting healthy aging and helping your body work more efficiently overall. Oral vs Injectable 5-Amino-1MQ: What's the Difference? People often ask me, “Should I take 5-Amino-1MQ as a pill or go with injections?” Here's the deal, the injectable version gets into your system faster and starts working a bit quicker. On the other hand, the oral version takes a little longer to kick in, but it's way more convenient—just take a capsule and you're good. No needles, no fuss. And honestly? Most people say they feel the same benefits either way—whether it's fat loss, energy, or mood. So unless you're looking for super fast absorption, oral works great for most people. Wrapping It Up: Why This Matters To recap—5-Amino-1MQ helps: Boost NAD⁺ levels Shrink visceral fat tissue Improve insulin sensitivity and cholesterol Preserve muscle mass during weight loss Enhance endurance Activate longevity pathways And it does it by blocking an enzyme that works against you—NNMT. This isn't magic—it's smart metabolic science. And it might just be the edge you need if you're hitting a plateau or looking to optimize how your body performs, heals, and ages.

The Clay Edwards Show Live at Men's Health & Women's Wellness of Mississippi Join us for an engaging and informative special live edition of The Clay Edwards Show, broadcast directly from the lobby of Men's Health & Women's Wellness of Mississippi, located at 120 Fountains Boulevard, Madison, MS. Host Clay Edwards sits down with Dr. Micah Walker for an in-depth conversation about men's and women's health, covering a wide range of topics from testosterone therapy and weight loss to innovative treatments and the importance of proactive healthcare. In this episode, Clay and Dr. Walker dive into the transformative benefits of semaglutide and tirzepatide, GLP-1 agonist medications known for their effectiveness in weight loss. They discuss how these drugs not only aid in shedding pounds but also help curb alcohol cravings and improve mental relationships with food by targeting the brain's dopamine reward center. Clay shares personal anecdotes about his own health journey, including how semaglutide has helped him manage cravings and maintain a healthier lifestyle, while Dr. Walker provides expert insights into the science behind these medications and their potential future FDA indications for addiction treatment.   The conversation also explores the critical role of testosterone therapy, particularly for men experiencing low levels due to age, lifestyle, or medical conditions. Dr. Walker emphasizes the importance of identifying the root cause of low testosterone through comprehensive blood work, highlighting conditions like sleep apnea, obesity, or past use of anabolic substances that can contribute. He addresses common concerns about testosterone therapy for older men, debunking myths and explaining its safety and benefits when medically supervised. The discussion extends to younger men with low testosterone, with Dr. Walker advocating for a thorough evaluation to determine whether lifestyle changes or medical intervention is the best course.   Clay and Dr. Walker also tackle the controversial topic of peptides, addressing the hype surrounding these compounds in fitness and anti-aging circles. Dr. Walker cautions against the use of unregulated peptides like melanotan and SARMs, sharing a sobering story of a patient who suffered severe complications from an unsafe source. He stresses the importance of sticking to FDA-approved treatments from reputable sources, such as brand-name medications or trusted compounding pharmacies, to ensure safety and efficacy.   Beyond men's health, Dr. Walker introduces the services offered at Women's Wellness of Mississippi, located upstairs in the same facility. This concierge primary care clinic caters to women aged 30-65, offering annual wellness exams, hormone therapy, weight loss programs, and aesthetic treatments like Botox, fillers, laser hair removal, and medical-grade skincare with ZO Skin Health. Innovative devices like the Emsculpt Neo (equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups in 30 minutes) and Emsella (for stress incontinence) are highlighted as non-invasive solutions for women looking to reclaim their health and confidence post-childbirth or as they age.   The episode underscores the clinic's unique approach to healthcare, designed to fit the busy lives of men and women. Men's Health & Women's Wellness of Mississippi offers a membership-based model with no long-term contracts, providing affordable, transparent pricing and minimal wait times. Clay shares how this model has been a game-changer for him as a self-employed individual, combining a high-deductible insurance plan with the clinic's membership for cost-effective, accessible care. Dr. Walker explains how the clinic serves as a primary care provider, managing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, and fostering a comfortable, judgment-free environment for patients to discuss sensitive issues, including erectile dysfunction, with affordable solutions like generic Viagra and Cialis.   Throughout the episode, Clay and Dr. Walker address broader healthcare issues, from the complexities of the pharmaceutical industry to the loss of trust in medical institutions post-COVID. They discuss the importance of patient choice, the risks of unverified online supplements, and the need for honest, transparent communication between doctors and patients. The episode wraps up with a call to action for viewers to prioritize their health, emphasizing the clinic's welcoming atmosphere—complete with deer heads, a leg lamp, and a “reception area” rather than a traditional waiting room.   For more information or to schedule a visit, check out MensHealthMS.com or call 1-844-4MVPTRT. Don't miss this lively, candid discussion packed with practical health insights and a behind-the-scenes look at a clinic reimagining healthcare for men and women in Madison, Mississippi.   Note: This episode was recorded on June 10, 2025, and reflects the latest services and perspectives from Men's Health & Women's Wellness of Mississippi.
