Episode 2659: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss three different topics that are all promoting mixed messages about health, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/promoting-mixed-messages-episode-2659 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Promoting Mixed Messages Chris discovered an article in VegNews: a vegan Italian cookbook. (5:00) They divert to a bit of Italian-American history, which has had its challenges. (6:00) Back to the VegNews article: They ponder how an Italian meal can be vegan. (12:15) Vinnie's family grew veggies, but all the Italian meals centered around meat. There was a keto trial—a small trial—but testing high cholesterol. (22:00) They discuss how many studies have been misrepresented by not including countries whose cultural diets contain a lot of meat. Blue Zones has been misrepresented as well. The diets vary, and the level of meat is far more than what tends to be represented. The one thing all the Blue Zone cultures have in common is an active outdoor lifestyle. (37:00) If you want to get rid of heart disease, you must get rid of processed foods. (38:00) Lean Mass Hyper Responders have a different starting point to consider. (40:00) High cholesterol (LDL) in and of itself is not necessarily a problem; you need to look at it in conjunction with other factors. (42:00) The ADA launched the American Obesity Association. Novo Nordisk has contributed funds to the ADA. Novo Nordisk is the company that brought us Wegovy. (51:00) GLP-1s are not a Magic Pill; if they were, they wouldn't have deadly side effects. (52:30) The ADA amended its guidelines to say that GLP-1s should be the “first line of defense” of correction for T2 diabetes, rather than lifestyle. (54:00) The ADA is disengenuous because it receives millions of dollars from Big Food corporations each year to *not* tell you to cut out sugar and processed foods. (55:00) The information the ADA gives cannot entirely be trusted because of the sources of funding it receives. Follow Vinnie on X @vinnietortorich.

Semaglutide medicines for treating diabetes and obesity (like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro) have recently been observed to make mice more sedentary. Will these drugs have the same effect on humans? And how were semaglutides discovered, and what does that say about public financing of basic research? Finally, Dr. Bruce A. Scott, a Louisville physician and outgoing President of the American Medical Association gave a fiery address to the association on June 6th. What was he angry about?

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav is joined by Dr. Stacie Stephenson, a leading voice in functional and integrative medicine, for a powerful conversation that reframes how we think about skin health. Rather than isolating skin concerns from the rest of the body, Dr. Stacie emphasizes a systems-based approach that connects the dots between stress, inflammation, gut health, and chronic conditions like acne and autoimmune disease.Dr. Stacie shares her remarkable journey from Olympic-level figure skating to becoming a disruptor in modern medicine—after personal health challenges led her to seek deeper answers beyond traditional care. Together, she and Dr. Ekta unpack the philosophy of functional medicine, spotlighting its focus on root causes, not just symptoms.They explore acne as a case study in how conventional treatments often overlook gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, and long-term microbiome damage. Dr. Stacie also weighs in on the rise of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy—highlighting their promise, their risks, and the psychological dimensions of weight and wellness.This episode is both a masterclass and a mindset shift. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to partner with their body—and their practitioner—to personalize their path to better health.

Dr. David Kessler is a renowned pediatrician, lawyer, public health advocate, and former Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A graduate of Amherst College, the University of Chicago Law School, and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Kessler has spent his career at the intersection of science, policy, and consumer protection. He served as Dean of the Yale School of Medicine and the University of California, San Francisco Medical School, and most recently held the role of Chief Science Officer for the White House COVID-19 Response Team. Dr. Kessler is the acclaimed author of several influential books including the New York Times bestseller The End of Overeating, Fast Carbs, Slow Carbs, and his latest work, Diet, Drugs & Dopamine: The New Science on Achieving a Healthy Weight. His writing and research have been pivotal in shifting the public health conversation from willpower to biological understanding—especially regarding food addiction, the manipulation of hyper-palatable foods, and the role of dopamine in modern eating behaviors. A true trailblazer in the field, Dr. Kessler has dedicated decades to unraveling the powerful science behind why we eat the way we do—and how we can reclaim our health in a world of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Kessler shares his personal journey with weight regain and the "aha moment" that led him to call it what it is—addiction. He explores the role of GLP-1 medications, the dark side of food addiction, and how we must move beyond willpower to tackle this epidemic with compassion, science, and actionable tools.

How do weight loss injections work and does the weight pile on again when you stop them? You’ve heard about your G-spot but what about your A-spot and your O-spot ? And how to deal with a phobia of needles. In this episode, Bariatrician GP Dr Jessica McEwan talks about the potential benefits and risks of GLP-1 agonists including what happens if you take too much. We also discuss how to talk to your GP to find out if you meet the appropriate guidelines for prescription and how lifestyle changes including diet and exercise are crucial to their success. Also, we talk about how the food industry is trying to make ultra-processed foods even more addictive to override the effects of these drugs. Ask The Doc: Ask us a question in The Waiting Room.

Send us a textIt's Matt, and I'm flying solo this week with a raw and personal episode about stress, burnout, and trying to hold it all together—without picking up a drink.From battling insurance over Wegovy, to my daughter's knee injury, to the financial hit of back-to-back sports trips, everything has been hitting at once. I'm feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and, honestly, kind of crispy around the edges.But here's the thing: I'm still sober. And that's a miracle.This episode is about how I'm using the tools of recovery to stay grounded—meetings, connection, letting go of control (even when I really don't want to), and the reminder that I don't have to walk through any of this alone.If you're dealing with stress or burnout, I hope this one reminds you: you're not alone. There's a way through this. And you don't have to drink today.Support the show

More and more people with type 1 are using GLP-1 receptor agonists. You know these medications, with brand names like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, but none of them are specifically approved to treat T1D. Some of the first studies are underway to study the safety and effectiveness of GLP-1s, but that hasn't stopped thousands of using them off-label or to treat obesity. We're talking to an endocrinologist and a clinical pharmacist about why they prescribe these meds to some of their type 1 patients, who they won't prescribe them for, and – I know you're already asking – how they get insurance coverage.   My guests are endocrinologist Dr. Adam Spitz and Clinical Pharmacist Georgina Farrow GLP news story Stacey references here Dr Spitz's medical thriller here This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

We talk with scientists who report that a common weight loss/diabetes drug known as a GLP-1 receptor agonist (Wegovy, Ozempic for instance) is associated with an increased risk of blindness.  The study was published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association Ophthalmology, about a form of blindness known as “wet” macular degeneration.  … Continue reading "GLP-1 and Blindness"

In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores how the growing popularity of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro is reshaping the body diversity movement. As weight loss drugs become more widely used and celebrated, messages of fat liberation and weight-inclusive care are being challenged in new and complex ways. Dr. Marianne discusses the cultural effects of GLP-1s, the pressure many people feel to conform to changing body ideals, and what this means for fat humans, eating disorder recovery, and those committed to body autonomy. This episode offers a compassionate and honest look at the grief, confusion, and questions arising in this new era. If you're navigating the intersection of weight stigma, eating disorders, and the rise of GLP-1 medications, this conversation will help you feel grounded, supported, and less alone.

EP. 215: I sat down with Brad Hart, owner of Forest Park Pharmacy in Fort Worth, to expose the shocking truth behind pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and how they're driving up drug prices. What I learned about vertical integration in the healthcare system, where insurers own the PBMs and the pharmacies, honestly left me furious. Brad breaks it all down, from Medicare waste to the skyrocketing cost of specialty drugs, and we talk about real solutions like compounding pharmacies and direct-to-consumer options. This is a must-listen if you've ever wondered why your medications cost so much—and who's really profiting. Topics Discussed:  What are pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and how do they increase drug prices? How are health insurance companies profiting from vertical integration in the pharmacy system? Why are independent and rural pharmacies struggling to stay open? What impact do PBMs have on Medicare spending and prescription drug costs? How can consumers save money on medications without relying on insurance?

In this powerful and unapologetic episode, I sit down with Dr. Tyna Moore — physician, author, and outspoken advocate for evidence-based metabolic health — for a deeply candid conversation about peptides, GLP-1s (like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Zepbound), and why the current medical system is failing women. We dive into:

Why These Drugs Aren't Magic Bullets—And How to Maximise Their Clinical ImpactThe sharp rise in GLP-1 agonist prescriptions – up over 42% in Australia since 2019 – is reshaping how we approach weight loss and metabolic health. But are we ready to support patients beyond the script?In this evidence-informed episode, dietitian and exercise scientist Robbie Clark joins us to unpack the clinical realities of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Far from being quick fixes, these medications work best when combined with targeted nutrition, resistance training, and gut support.Robbie explores how GLP-1 agonists enhance insulin secretion, suppress appetite, and deliver cardiovascular benefits, while sharing practical strategies to enhance patient outcomes and minimise side effects. From optimising protein intake (1.2–1.6 g/kg) to prevent muscle loss, to managing nausea and reflux, you'll gain the tools to confidently guide your patients through every stage of their GLP-1 journey.We also dive into the surprising science of bitter foods – like dandelion, grapefruit, and dark chocolate – that naturally stimulate GLP-1 receptors, offering a food-first support strategy that complements medication.Perhaps most crucial is the discussion on weight regain post-discontinuation, with studies showing 60–100% of lost weight can return within a year without lifestyle foundations. Robbie provides realistic, sustainable strategies to help patients move from medication reliance to long-term metabolic resilience.Whether you're currently supporting patients on GLP-1 medications or preparing for their growing use in practice, this episode delivers the clinical insights you need to turn short-term interventions into lasting lifestyle changeConnect with Robbie: healthbank.ioGet in touch!

GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy are no longer in short supply, yet they still can cost more than $1,000 a month out of pocket.

GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Wegovy are getting a lot of buzz — but what's fact, and what's just hype? In this episode, obesity medicine specialist Dr. Drake Bellanger breaks down how they work, who they're for, and what you need to know before starting.

Can you actually be healthy at any weight? What do leeches have to do with gynaecological issues? And what to do if you keep getting styes in your eye. In this episode, we have an important conversation about weight. Endocrinologist Dr Isobelle Smith talks about whether weight loss is more than just calories in and calories out, how to downsize fat not muscle and what your hormones have to do with your weight. We also discuss whether BMI is still a valid measure and how focusing on your health, rather than your weight may be the key. Also, is a “weight set point” actually a thing?

The Trump administration regard many of the US's most prestigious universities as hotbeds of antisemitism and left-wing ideology. In addition to threatening to remove millions of dollars in funding the State Department has now issued a ban to American embassies around the world to stop holding student visa appointments. Social media vetting is also expected to be introduced for prospective students from abroad.Also on the programme: the V&A museum in London is giving the public the opportunity to choose which objects they want to see at the brand-new East Storehouse, a site that combines storage space with art exhibitions. And; about 2.5 billion people around the world are overweight. Weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy have made it easier for people to lose the extra kilos, but how safe are these drugs? Former commissioner for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Dr David Kessler, visits the studio to discuss our relationship with food.(Photo: A supporter with a sign reading 'We Love Our International Students,' arrives to a rally in support of the international student population at Harvard and other US Universities, outside the Science Center on the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, 27 May 2025.

In December 2017, the FDA approved a new injectable drug to treat type 2 diabetes called semaglutide, which you likely know by its brand name: Ozempic. A few years later, during the pandemic, Wegovy, a drug with a higher dose of the same active ingredient, was approved specifically for chronic weight management. Soon after, people taking Ozempic started reporting a dramatic, even “life-changing” weight loss. Ozempic is now a bona fide blockbuster. So what's the science behind these “wonder drugs” that apparently 1 in 10 of us could end up using? They have the potential to have so many positive effects on our lives, from treating Alzheimer's disease and addiction to changing our relationship with consumption but, like with most things, they also come with risks.Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

Sitting might even feel uncomfortable now that the fat cushioning your tailbone is gone.Then there's “slimmer's paralysis”—a temporary nerve irritation that can pop up when the fat around certain nerves disappears. You might also spot new lumps or bumps, or find yourself feeling colder than usual since fat helps keep you warm.Other changes can include lower blood pressure and shifts in your menstrual cycle as your body adjusts.Want to hear more about these lesser-known effects and how to deal with them?

✨ My GLP-1 Girlie group program is opening again at the end of February for enrollment for a 3/2/25 start date.

Many women in midlife are discovering that GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have been game-changers for improving metabolic health—but what happens when these medications become unavailable or too expensive? I'm excited to share five powerful, science-backed alternatives that can help you naturally stimulate GLP-1 production in your body without prescriptions. From the surprising benefits of a rare sugar called allulose that mimics GLP-1 effects without spiking insulin, to a New Zealand hops extract that raises GLP-1 levels for four hours after ingestion, these alternatives offer real solutions for women looking to maintain their fat loss progress and metabolic healing. We also dive into how specific probiotics, the protein-fiber combination, and berberine can naturally boost your body's GLP-1 production while addressing underlying metabolic issues that contribute to weight gain in our 40s and beyond.   What you'll learn: Why GLP-1 medications work so effectively and how they impact your metabolic health How Allulose, a rare sugar, naturally stimulates GLP-1 secretion without raising blood sugar or insulin The power of a specialized hops extract that can keep GLP-1 elevated for four hours Which specific probiotic strain boosts GLP-1 production and improves gut health How combining protein and fiber creates a one-two punch for natural GLP-1 stimulation The science behind berberine as "nature's Ozempic" for blood sugar and appetite regulation Essential lifestyle factors that maximize results when using GLP-1 alternatives Love the Podcast?

In today's "Me vs. ChatGPT" episode, Heather tackles the topic of Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonist medications that are now being prescribed to people for weight loss. She uses ChatGPT to help answer the question, "Will Ozempic fix my body image issues?" and is surprised to find ChatGPT to be very informed and aware of the limitations that weight loss has on healing body image issues. This episode will encourage women who are using these medications along with women who are surrounded by others who are using these weight loss drugs. There's no shame or blame if you've chosen to get the shots, but Heather outlines the risks and how, as Christian women, they can lead some of us further into issues like body image idolatry or distract us from our real purpose on this earth. Confidence doesn't come in the form of a weight loss shot, so Heather discusses how healing body image issues requires more than just weight loss.

GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are being hailed as game-changers, but are they really safe, effective, or sustainable?   Dr. Vanita Rahman joins Chuck Carroll to unpack the data behind these billion-dollar drugs, highlighting alarming side effects, minimal long-term benefits, and industry conflicts of interest. With 129 million Americans eligible and a price tag of $1,600 per month, the stakes are massive.   This episode explores a better way forward—using food as medicine and empowering people with knowledge, not prescriptions.   Plus, Chuck opens up about his own weight loss surgery—and the one thing he wishes he knew beforehand. — — SHOW LINKS — — Ozempic Risks and Letter https://bit.ly/OzempicRisk — — EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE: Longevity and Muscle Building GreenFare Organic Restaurant Where: Herndon, VA When: May 28, 2025 Tix: https://bit.ly/ERTixGFMay2025 — — — NHA Conference Where: Cleveland, OH When: June 26-29, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://bit.ly/NHAtix2025 — — — International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC When: August 14-16, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://www.pcrm.org/icnm — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — Sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
