POPULARITY
“It's kind of a miracle, frankly,” says Dr. John Buse, a distinguished professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, referring to the effectiveness of GLP-1 receptor agonist medications such as Ozempic in treating type 2 diabetes, promoting significant weight loss, and reducing cardiovascular risk. As a physician scientist for the last three decades at UNC, Dr. Buse has played a key role in ushering in this new era of diabetes care, leading or participating in over 200 clinical studies on this class of drugs and others. “Nothing has impacted diabetes care like the GLP-1 receptor agonists. I have lots of patients whose diabetes was never well controlled who have seen all their metabolic problems essentially resolved.” In this fascinating conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Buse not only explains how these drugs work, but also provides a clear-eyed look at side effects, and addresses issues of cost and access. Join us for the remarkable story – including the role played by Gila monsters -- behind one of the biggest developments in medicine over the past several years from a world renowned diabetes researcher and clinician.

Millions of adults take popular drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro to treat chronic conditions and/or lose weight. The GLP-1 medications have made headlines for their effectiveness, and new studies have shown that some of them can also curb alcohol and drug consumption and lower the risk of a heart attack. But not everyone has equal access to the medications. While some patients are able to obtain them through their health care providers, others have turned to online platforms that don't require prescriptions. In many cases, they can also be cost prohibitive: Ozempic, for example, can cost up to $1,000 per month without insurance. This hour, we explore the latest with these medications: what they treat, how they work, and who should be able to access them. Our guests: Zachary Burns, D.O., assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center and associate director of Moving Medicine Forward Erica Davis, patient who uses weight loss medication, theater professional, educator, and mother Molly Ranney, MS, RD, CDN, CSOWM, lead dietitian for the Bariatric Center at Highland Hospital Kaci Schiavone, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, Bariatric/GI at the University of Rochester Medical Center ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

What if everything you thought GLP-1s were for—was just the beginning? I sit down with Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, a board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist with over 15 years of experience prescribing GLP-1s, to explore what these medications are really doing in the body. Whether you're already taking Ozempic or Wegovy, considering starting, or just curious, this conversation will change how you think about metabolism, hormones, and health. Dr. Salas-Whalen explains how GLP-1s go far beyond appetite suppression and weight loss—they can impact fertility, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and even how your brain responds to addictive cravings and stress. You'll also hear how body composition, not BMI, is the future of metabolic health, and what to ask your doctor before starting GLP-1s.
Send us a textDr. Acosta returns to Causes or Cures to talk about the next big leap in obesity research: using genetics and machine learning to predict which patients will get side effects to popular GLP-1 weight-loss medications like Wegovy and Zepbound. Previously, he was on Causes or Cures to discuss your individual obesity type. He and his team are uncovering why some people experience major weight loss while others face tough side effects—especially nausea. The goal? True precision medicine for obesity: matching the right treatment to the right person before treatment even begins. (You can learn more about their available tests and company here.) Topics We DiscussDr. Acosta's background and what drew him to obesity researchWhy not all obesity is the same—and why that matters for patients and doctorsThe most common questions patients ask about GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy and ZepboundHow big a problem side effects like nausea really are in practiceNew research using genetic markers to predict who's more likely to experience side effectsWhether eating style affects nausea and how Dr. Acosta coaches patients on nutrition while using these medicationsThe possibility of genetic testing before prescribing GLP-1sWhat we know about rarer side effects, from vision to hearing changes, if he thinks more side effects will emergeWhat “satiation” (feeling full) means and why it varies so much between peopleHow genetic risk and satiation scores could determine which obesity treatment works bestDr. Acosta's thoughts on obesity prevention, especially on renewed energy to take on the unhealthy food industryThe persistence of stigma—why “willpower” doesn't tell the whole storyWhether the current obsession with obesity drugs distracts from prevention, nutrition, and community health Listen if you've ever wondered:Why GLP-1 drugs don't work the same for everyoneWhat your genes have to do with weight loss, feeling full and side effectsHow soon doctors could use genetic tests to personalize obesity treatmentWhether prevention is being overshadowed by the pharma spotlightWhy it mattersObesity isn't a one-size-fits-all condition—and neither should its treatment be. Dr. Acosta's research could mark a turning point in how we approach weight loss: scientifically, compassionately, and individually. Dr. Acosta is a Consultant of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mayo Clinic, as well as an Associate Professor of Medicine.

According to a KFF poll, about one in eight, or 12%, of adults in the United States have used a GLP-1 medicine like Ozempic, Trulicity, Victoza, Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Zepbound. These drugs were originally developed to treat diabetes, but quickly started being prescribed for weight loss and other uses. While they seem like wonder drugs, GLP-1 medicines do cause side effects and have risks. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation are common side effects. The drugs also can cause dizziness, headaches, and elevated heartbeat. Dr. Neil Iyengar is a breast medical oncologist who studies how diet and exercise can improve quality of life for people with breast cancer. He's also prescribed GLP-1 medicines for the people he cares for. Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Iyengar explain: how GLP-1 medicines work the risks these drugs may pose for people receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or a CDK4/6 inhibitor why he works closely with a weight loss specialist or endocrinologist when prescribing these medicines why the medicines work best when a person also makes lifestyle changes

In this hot health topic episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I uncover the latest study revealing the #1 supplement to prevent Ozempic muscle loss!
Medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy are proven to be highly effective for weight management. They are also increasingly being found to treat other conditions and reduce the risk of disease, promising health benefits far beyond the treatment of obesity. But these drugs generally need to be continued for weight loss to be maintained, so there are big questions to be answered about their use and significant challenges to overcome around access and availability. In front of a live audience at Wellcome Collection in London, Claudia and her guests explore the potential and negatives of weight loss injections and ask whether they really are the next wonder drug.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/advances-in-type-1-diabetes-science-and-tech/ This article is part of “Innovations In: Type 1 Diabetes,” an editorially independent special report that was produced with financial support from Vertex. XX More evidence linking COVID 19 to type 1 diabetes.. but still exactly why is a mystery. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unexpected increase in the number of cases of type 1 diabetes in Sweden, particularly among children under 5 and young adult men. The infection accelerated the onset of diabetes among children between the ages of 5 and 9. The researchers looked at data from a 17-year period on the incidence of type 1 diabetes among all people under the age of 30 in Sweden. In addition, they compared the risk of developing diabetes among 720,000 individuals with positive COVID-19 tests against a control group of 3.5 million people. The findings are published in the journal Diabetologia. The number of diabetes cases increased by 12% in 2021 and 9% in 2022 compared with previous years. In 2023, the number of cases was back to a normal level. Despite this, the researchers cannot distinguish a clear connection between COVID-19 infection and diabetes, except for children between 5 and 9 years old. They had an increased risk of type 1 diabetes about one month after a COVID-19 infection even though their total risk did not increase. "However, it's clear that the COVID-19 vaccine can be ruled out as a cause of the increase in diabetes cases. The recommendation for the age group where we saw the strongest increase was not to get vaccinated. In addition, other studies on adults have shown that vaccination reduces the risk of developing type 1 diabetes after a COVID infection." https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-10-diabetes-young-people-pandemic.html XX A new gene therapy approach aimed at protecting people with type 1 diabetes from developing diabetic kidney disease—a serious and common complication of the condition, has shown promising results in a University of Bristol study. Findings from this new study, published in Molecular Therapy, demonstrated a 64% reduction in a damage indicator for kidney disease, paving the way for a potential new treatment. The study, explored the potential of delivering a protein called VEGF-C directly into kidney cells. Previous studies have shown VEGFC could protect against kidney disease as it helps keep blood vessels in the kidney filter healthy, repairing early signs of diabetes-related kidney damage. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-10-gene-therapy-kidney-disease-diabetes.html XX The FDA has agreed to consider Afrezza inhaled insulin for children and teens. The company said in August that it submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza in the pediatric population and it's been assigned a decision deadline date of the end of May, 2026. Afrezza first recieved FDA approval for adults (age 18 and up) in June 2014 https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/fda-accepts-application-mannkind-inhaled-insulin-kids/ Update on inhaled insulin for kids.. in the open-label, randomized, phase 3 INHALE-1 clinical trial Afrezza demonstrated safe and effective replacement for rapid-acting meal insulin in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D and demonstrates comparable glycemic control to injected rapid-acting insulin. The INHALE-1 clinical trial assessed the safety and efficacy of Afrezza among children and adolescents with T1D, including a total of 230 patients aged 4 to 17 years. Researchers used basal injected insulin and randomly assigned inhaled insulin or rapid-acting analogue for meals, evaluating the change in hemoglobin A1c levels at 26 weeks. After completing 26 weeks of randomly assigned treatment with either Afrezza or rapid-acting insulin injections combined with basal insulin, participants continued receiving the inhaled insulin until week 52 for an extension phase to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Afrezza with continued use.1,2 https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/inhaled-insulin-demonstrates-comparable-safety-lung-function-and-efficacy-to-injectable-insulin-in-type-1-diabetes XX Eli Lilly released the results of two new Phase 3 trials of an experimental GLP-1 pill that the company says could become a “foundational treatment” for type 2 diabetes. The Indianapolis-based drugmaker plans to submit global regulatory applications for orforglipron in the treatment of type 2 diabetes next year. The company said it will seek approval of the drug as an obesity medication by the end of 2025. Lilly is trying to build on the success of its Mounjaro/Zepbound franchise by offering patients a pill instead of an injection. But the company is trailing behind rival Novo Nordisk in developing an oral alternative, and data released so far has raised some skepticism among investors. A study released in August showed that orforglipron could help patients lose an average of about 12% of their body weight. Wall Street had been expecting more; Lilly's injectable drug Zepbound produced weight loss of as much as 21%, and Novo Nordisk has achieved 15% weight loss percentages for both oral and injectable versions of its Wegovy medication. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/eli-lillys-orforglipron-bests-farxiga-padding-oral-glp-1-case-pair-phase-3-diabetes-wins XX XX UF Health Cancer Center researchers have found a surprising culprit behind common health problems such as obesity, diabetes and fatty liver disease: silent genetic glitches in the blood system that occur naturally as people age. The findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, mean that in the future, simple blood tests could be developed to identify people most at risk early on, helping prevent chronic illnesses and cancer through strategies like diet or lifestyle changes. As people age, stem cells in the bone marrow that produce blood cells gradually accumulate mutations in their DNA. Most mutations don't cause any issues, but sometimes blood stem cells with a mutation can start crowding out their peers. Called clonal hematopoiesis, this condition affects about 10% of older people and is associated with an increased risk of blood cancers like leukemia. It's also linked to a higher risk of obesity and diabetes. But the prevailing thinking was that obesity and related conditions promoted blood cell changes, not the other way around. The new study reverses that. The implications could be far-reaching, particularly as obesity has now overtaken smoking as the most significant and preventable risk factor for cancer. The team is studying how the mutations drive disease. Next, they plan to test how drugs like those commonly used to treat diabetes and new popular weight loss drugs might help reverse or prevent diseases caused by blood cell changes. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-10-hidden-blood-mutations-obesity-diabetes.html XX A new ultra rapid insulin continues to move forward. A phase 3 clinical trial of BioChaperone Lispro (liss-pro) conducted in China found it safe and effective compared with Humalog along with a significant reduction of the rise of blood glucose after a test meal. These results complete and confirm the positive outcomes previously obtained with THDB0206 injection in people with Type 2 Diabetes It combines Adocia's proprietary BioChaperone® technology with insulin lispro, the active ingredient in the standard of care, Humalog® (Eli Lilly). This innovative formulation acts significantly faster https://pharmatimes.com/news/ultra-rapid-insulin-shows-promise-in-phase-3-trial-for-type-1-diabetes/ Poor blood sugar control in adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may be associated with a higher risk of neuropathy in adulthood, according to recent research from the University of Michigan.1 The study included children diagnosed with T1D between 1990-1992 who were recruited into the Cognition and Longitudinal Assessment of Risk Factors over 30 Years cohort study in Australia. Investigators collected HbA1c from medical records, and microvascular complications were assessed through self-reports, clinical screenings, retinal photographs, and urinary albumin-creatinine testing.3 A total of 30 children were recruited from the original cohort with a mean diagnosis age of 2.9 years. After an average of 29.7 years (standard deviation [SD]: 3.9 years), 33% of participants (n = 13) developed neuropathy, 63% (n = 19) developed diabetes-related eye disease, and 10% (n = 3) developed neuropathy.3 Mean HbA1c estimates during adolescence (9% [74.9 mmol/mol]; 95% CI, 8.6-9.3 [70.5-78.1]) were substantially higher than childhood (8.2% [66.1 mmol/mol]; 95% CI, 7.8-8.5 [61.7-69.4]; P
This week, Brent speaks with Dr. John Buse, a leading endocrinologist at the University of North Carolina and one of the world's foremost experts on diabetes and metabolic health. Dr. Buse unpacks the science behind GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic and Wegovy. He explains their powerful benefits for obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, along with the real risks. Drawing on his decades of research and personal experience using the drugs himself, Dr. Buse offers a grounded, evidence-based look at the promise and pitfalls of GLP-1s for both treatment and longevity. The conversation also touches on the future of microdosing, pharma ethics, and why true preventive care remains medicine's biggest challenge. He's a wonderful guest, hope you enjoy.
This week we're diving into one of the biggest health conversations of the year as we explore GLP 1 weight loss drugs. From Ozempic to Wegovy these medications have changed how we think about food, weight and willpower but they've also raised big questions about what healthy really means. Dr Jack Mosley joins us to unpack the science behind these drugs, the truth about food noise, muscle loss and long term side effects, and what happens when you stop taking them. We also look at natural ways to support GLP 1 function through diet and lifestyle. As these drugs become more accessible and more widely marketed are they a genuine breakthrough or another quick fix in disguise Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

As demand for GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy soars, a parallel market for compounded versions has emerged — one that's largely unregulated and increasingly risky. This episode examines how gaps in oversight, aggressive marketing, and blurred lines between compounding and manufacturing expose patients to safety concerns and strain the health system. We explore why compounded GLP-1s are more than a niche issue, highlighting how they fit a recurring pattern where regulation lags behind fast-moving markets.
In today's episode, I'm diving into everything you need to know about Zepbound (tirzepatide) — the newest obesity medication now available in Canada. I'll explain how this dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist works, how it's different from semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy), and who it may be helpful for.We'll talk about expected weight loss results, side effects, cost, and access, as well as one really important topic: how to protect your muscle and bone health while on these medications. Rapid weight loss can come with downsides — and I'll share what you can do to make sure your journey is sustainable and healthy.In this episode, I cover: → How tirzepatide works and what makes it unique → Expected weight loss and blood sugar improvements → Common side effects and safety considerations → Tirzepatide vs. semaglutide — what's the difference? → Cost, access, and insurance coverage in Canada → Why protein and strength training are essential during weight lossAs always, this podcast is for educational purposes only and not a substitute for personalized medical advice.

We're going there today.Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro — the weight-loss drugs everyone's talking about.But here's what no one's saying: yes, these meds work… but at what cost?In this episode, Nikkiey Stott breaks down the truth about GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, the science behind how they actually work, and the reality of what happens when you stop taking them. She dives into the research on muscle loss, metabolism slowdown, and why relying on medication alone sets so many women up for the rebound cycle they've spent years trying to escape.This isn't about fear — it's about facts.You'll walk away understanding: • Why muscle is the single most important factor in fat loss after 40 • What studies really show about GLP-1s and metabolism • The right vs. wrong way to use weight-loss meds (if you choose to) • And the exact lifestyle framework that always wins — with or without a prescriptionIf you're tired of chasing shortcuts and ready to finally understand how to create sustainable results, this episode will change the way you see your body, your health, and your power.

Group Chat News is back with the hottest stories of the week including the government shutdown, Diddy gets sentenced to 4 years in prison, Costco will now sell Ozempic and Wegovy at a discounted price, and Bronny may be the next golf superstar.
GLP-1s — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro — they are everywhere right now. Your group chat's talking about them, they're all over TikTok, and maybe even your doctor's mentioned them. You've probably heard that they help with weight loss or that they ‘quiet food noise' — but what's really going on inside your body when you're on these meds? And more importantly what should we, as women, actually know when it comes to our hormones, metabolism, and long-term health? Because let's be real our bodies are not one-size-fits-all, and wellness isn't just about shrinking down a size. So today, we're getting into the real talk: what GLP-1s do, the benefits, the downsides, and how nutrition still plays a major role — whether you're on them, thinking about them, or just trying to make sense of all the hype. Listen up! The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body.

Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.Your physical hunger is actually trying to tell you something deeper about your emotional and spiritual needs—and science proves it.Even with powerful appetite-suppressing medications like GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro), Dr. Adrienne Youdim reveals why emotional hunger still demands to be heard—and why that's actually a good thing for your wellbeing.In this science-backed episode, discover how stress, loneliness, and unmet needs literally trigger the same hunger hormones as fasting, and why appetite suppression doesn't equal emotional regulation.What You'll Learn:The surprising science of how emotional hunger triggers real biological hunger hormones (ghrelin, leptin, GLP-1)Why stress literally makes your hunger hormones spike—it's not just willpower or weaknessHow to identify what you're really hungry for: belonging, respite, validation, or connection"Appetite suppression does not equal emotional regulation. Emotional regulation requires its own attention because emotional eating is a form of reactivity—an automatic, habitual attempt to distract, soothe, or suppress some emotional or spiritual experience." - Dr. Adrienne YoudimCommon Hidden Hungers Explored:Hunger for Belonging: Loneliness and isolation driving you to the pantry instead of toward connectionHunger for Respite: Self-neglect and caretaking burnout manifesting as food cravingsHunger for Validation: High-achiever patterns that once served you now becoming destructiveThe Three-Part Framework for Emotional Hunger:Regulate: Break the reactivity cycle with pause practicesBefore: Immediate reactive response to emotional triggers—reaching for food, scrolling, overworkingAfter: Space between trigger and reaction, calmed nervous system, intentional choiceThe Tools: Deep breathing, body scans, nature walks, guided visualization, five-minute pauses before actingRestore: Build rituals that support emotional regulationBefore: Sporadic self-care, inconsistent coping mechanisms, reliance on reactive behaviorsAfter: Sustainable practices that consistently address emotional needsThe Rituals: Morning journaling, lunch walks, Sunday hikes, creative expression, structured eating and movement routinesReframe: Transform hunger from shame to signalBefore: Viewing emotional hunger as weakness, something to suppress or fixAfter: Understanding hunger as valuable information about unmet needs and misalignment with valuesThe Practice: Ask yourself: "What am I truly hungry for? What deep-seated need is my mind and body trying to attune me to? How can I live more aligned with my true north?"Why GLP-1 Users Have a Unique Opportunity:With the "food noise" quieted, you have the perfect window to build emotional awareness, develop coping skills, and retrain habitual pathways for lasting change beyond medication.Your emotional hunger is a signal—a call to action from your nervous system saying something critical needs a3 Ways that Dr. Adrienne Youdim Can Support You Subscribe to Dr. Adrienne's weekly newsletter https://www.dradrienneyoudim.com/newsletter Connect on Instagram : Follow @dradrienneyoudim for tips and inspiration on well-being and peak performance.

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide — better known as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro — are transforming lives through significant weight loss. But along with the health benefits, many patients notice unexpected changes in their appearance: facial hollowing, skin laxity, and body deflation, often referred to as “Ozempic face.” In this episode of The Aesthetic Doctor Podcast, Dr. Judith Borger explores how GLP-1s affect both the face and body — and what can be done to support our weight loss patients through these changes. Whether you're a a patient curious about safe, effective ways to restore balance and confidence or a provider looking to expand your toolkit of non-surgical treatment, this conversation offers practical strategies, safety insights, and compassionate guidance for navigating the GLP-1 journey.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have become a cultural phenomenon, transforming appetite regulation and weight loss like nothing before. But with their rise comes a flood of imitators, from flashy “GLP-1 patches” to supplements like Calocurb, all promising the same results without the needles or prescriptions. In this episode, I break down what GLP-1 actually is, how these drugs work, and why they're so effective—not just for weight but also for cardiovascular outcomes. Then I take a closer look at the patches (spoiler: marketing magic, not science) and Calocurb's hops extract, which shows some early promise but lacks long-term data. If you're curious about food noise, appetite regulation, and how to separate science from sales tactics, this one's for you.Highlights:How GLP-1 drugs regulate appetite, cravings, and even food noiseWhy “GLP-1 patches” are all marketing and no scienceWhat Calocurb is, how it works, and the research behind itShort-term vs long-term evidence for appetite control Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order
