Podcasts about Weight management

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Jonathan Gabison, MD, DABOM, and Stephen Lott, PharmD, MS. At the University of Michigan, Gabison is an obesity medicine specialist and family physician, while Lott serves as director of the postgraduate year one managed care residency program and manager of the university's prescription drug plan. Their qualitative study, "Understanding Insurance Coverage Policies for Incretin Mimetics for Weight Management," determined that the high costs associated with these therapies limit insurance coverage and contribute to variation in utilization management strategies aimed at controlling short-term spending. During the conversation, the investigators discuss how high costs, misconceptions about obesity, and inconsistent coverage policies continue to hinder equitable, patient-centered care.

In this episode, good friend Amber Lynn Vitale joins us to unpack the many layers of one of the hottest new supplements in the past year, Berberine. She shared what's real, based on science and as a consumer how to spot a poorly made version of Berberine.What is Berberine?Berberine is found in Goldenseal, Oregon Grape, and Turmeric Tree also known as Barberry. In all these plants Berberine comes from the roots, and is used in Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Western herbalism.

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.

In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on the cognitive benefits of keeping your mind active, the exercise of using your non-dominant hand to write or do other activities to shake-up your brain and keep it fit.Then, a discussion on recreational marijuana use and the harmful effect it causes on the heart, the biggest food sources of sodium/salt for Americans are contributing to high blood pressure and heart disease, and how eating healthier can help your brain.Next up, news that regularly consuming coffee during middle age may actually cause a health boost for women as they get older, and the supplements your body needs for optimal health and how to properly get them without causing damage to your liver. The most overused botanical herbal or dietary supplements leading to liver toxicity are green tea, turmeric, ashwagandha, garcinia cambogia, red yeast rice, and black cohosh. While they all have great components to help with various chronic health issues, too much of anything is never a good thing.Moving on, how much weight you need to lose to prolong your life and lower your chances of medical-related early death, some good news of a steady growth curve of those who've been diagnosed with cancer and survived, and the importance of preventative care to battle illness over diagnostic care.Lastly, Doug is joined by a friend of the program, Elizabeth Miller with Calotren. The conversation dives into the 30-year history of Calotren helping people lose weight. The weight loss product was created by nurses to help patients heal their body, feel better, help with joint pain, help with sleep, and they noticed people were tightening up and losing weight. Calotren isn't a quick-hitting weight loss drug, but a sustainable weight loss product that helps you lose weight and keep it off. There is an 86% rate with a 90-day supply, and a 45-day return policy if you decide you don't like it after trying it out for a month.

Send us a textDr. John Poothullil revolutionizes our understanding of weight management and diabetes prevention by challenging conventional wisdom with science-backed insights from his decades of medical practice. As an award-winning author and nationally syndicated health expert, Dr. Poothulill observed patterns that led him to question why patients continued developing complications despite medication and traditional treatments.The concept of "authentic weight" stands at the center of his approach – the personalized ideal weight established in your mid-twenties that reflects your unique genetic makeup, ethnicity, and metabolic profile. This individualized perspective rejects standardized BMI charts that fail to account for crucial biological differences. When maintained within 5-10% throughout life, this authentic weight serves as a cornerstone of long-term health.What makes Dr. Poothulill's insights particularly fascinating is his exploration of how modern eating habits disconnect us from our body's natural regulatory mechanisms. Children instinctively eat when hungry and stop when satisfied, but adults override these signals due to social conditioning, marketing influences, and distracted eating. By reconnecting with natural hunger cues and chewing food thoroughly, we allow our taste receptors to identify nutrients and signal the brain about what and how much we need.Perhaps most provocatively, Dr. Poothulill identifies grain-based carbohydrates as a primary driver of obesity and diabetes epidemics worldwide. Following the agricultural revolution, refined grains became our cheapest, most accessible food source, yet our bodies lack specific taste receptors for complex carbohydrates – which is why we rarely enjoy plain rice or bread without adding fats, salt, or sauces. This disconnect leads to overconsumption without satisfaction.Ready to transform your relationship with food? Discover Dr. Poothulill's books "Diabetes: The Real Cause and the Right Cure" and "Beat the Unwanted Weight Gain" on Amazon, and visit his website at drjohnonhealth.com to learn more about his revolutionary approach to weight management and disease prevention.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

Tuesday, May 27-  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with President Biden's metastatic prostate cancer, why people are questioning when he was actually diagnosed and if there was dishonesty when many were questioning his health while he was still in office. Then, news of the first-ever human bladder transplant takes place in Southern California, good news for migraine sufferers as an already approved migraine medication can stop early-migraine symptoms hours before the headache itself even begins. Next, Dr. Ken sheds light on the dos and don'ts of recovering after a heart attack, and how loneliness affects your mental and physical health. Listener questions close up the conversation with “when is the best time of day to weigh yourself,” and the fact that your weight can vary up to 8 pounds during the day, which is why first thing in the morning, post morning bathroom break but before you've eaten or drank anything, is the best time of day. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Cohosts Yvette Raphael and Ben Plumley unpick the major news coming out of the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva. – from the new pandemic treaty, to WHO budget and staffing cuts, to increases in membership fees and voluntary contributions. They ruminate on how the current seemingly-unstoppable geopolitical chaos is affecting the ability of global health institutions like the World Health Organisation to deliver – and deliver on what exactly? What can the WHO actually do in such a fractured political climate? They reflect on US Secretary of Health and Human Service's video presentation to the World Health Assembly, which at the very best, can't be called the best example of American power and diplomacy. Which perhaps was the point. They cover a few broader issues Which leads them to a few extra-curricular activities – the diplomatic manner in which South African President Cyril Ramaphosa immediately deflected a bizarre meeting at the US White House, complete with lies, videotape and no offers of jumbo jets. Before hitting Geneva, Yvette was at the European Congress on Obesity and Weight Management in Barcelona delving into the complex interactions between HIV and weight issues. They close out a no holds barred conversation on a recent announcement made by the Global Fund of a new groundbreaking partnership between Mozambique and a Kenyan pharmaceutical company, which they were too coy to name. So Yvette and Ben give the company, United Corporation Ltd of Kenya a big shout out… 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 00:24 Support and Subscription Reminder 00:56 World Health Assembly Recap Begins 01:23 Yvette's European Trip and Obesity Congress 02:02 HIV and Weight Issues Discussion 04:09 Elon Musk's Controversial Comments 08:19 Pandemic Treaty and Global Health Governance 14:32 WHO Budget Cuts and Leadership Changes 18:15 Global South's Role in Health Funding 28:45 China's Growing Influence in Global Health 33:19 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 45:14 Closing Remarks and Acknowledgements

In this episode of the “NASM CPT Podcast,” host Rick Richey takes a deep dive into the critical role of sleep in overall health, wellness, and fitness performance. Inspired by his recent study of the Certified Wellness Coach certification and a lively text exchange with his family, Rick uncovers why sleep might be the most underrated element in reaching fitness goals. He debunks the myth that functioning on little sleep is a badge of honor and shares National Sleep Foundation guidelines for optimal sleep across age groups. Rick explores how sleep impacts vital processes such as brain cleaning through the glymphatic system, memory consolidation (both declarative and procedural), weight management, and muscle growth. Backed by research, he details how lack of sleep can lead to weight gain by disrupting hormones like leptin and ghrelin, increase hunger, reduce insulin sensitivity, and even hinder muscle recovery due to lower testosterone, growth hormone, and IGF-1 levels. Listeners will also get practical sleep hygiene strategies—from limiting caffeine and minimizing nighttime light exposure to implementing effective bedtime routines. Rick even explores the power of napping and when it can boost memory or aid in recovery after a rough night's sleep.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  Today I welcome Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, for an insightful conversation demystifying weight management and appetite modulation, particularly in the context of perimenopause and menopause. Discover the physiological changes women experience at midlife, the often-frustrating weight gain, and the truth behind cravings and willpower.  Key Discussion Points: The Menopause Weight Struggle is Real: Many women experience frustrating weight gain during perimenopause, with the SWAN study indicating an average gain of 22 pounds. Often, the advice given is simply to eat less, which overlooks significant physiological shifts. Physiological Changes at Midlife: Understand the impact of dropping estrogen levels, decreasing metabolism, changes in fat distribution (visceral fat), and increased insulin resistance during perimenopause. The Myth of Willpower: Learn why hunger and eating are primal, biologically controlled instincts originating in the hypothalamus. Stress, hormones, lack of sleep, and alcohol can easily override frontal lobe willpower. The Importance of Protein and Muscle Mass: Maintaining muscle mass is crucial during menopause to prevent sarcopenia and frailty. Ensure adequate protein intake (around 120 grams for post-menopausal/perimenopausal women is suggested) and engage in resistance exercise.  This is especially important when using one of the weight-loss injectables. Sarah Kennedy's Story: Sarah shares her personal journey of yo-yo dieting and how Calocurb (a GLP-1 activator) has positively changed her relationship with food. Her background in R&D for a major dairy company also highlights her passion for protein and muscle health. Hope for Post-Menopause: Sarah offers an encouraging perspective, sharing that she is the same size now as she was at 25 and feels at peace. Many women find that life gets better on the other side of menopause. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the physiological factors influencing weight during menopause and explores a natural, scientifically-backed approach to appetite modulation with a GLP-1 activator like Calocurb. It emphasises that hunger is not simply a matter of willpower and offers hope and practical strategies for managing weight and cravings at midlife and beyond.
