On episode 706 of the 40+ Fitness, we're diving deep into the world of GLP-1 agonist medications—those buzzy drugs you've likely seen in the headlines helping people tackle obesity and type 2 diabetes. Joining Coach Allan is David Knapp, a leading voice in the GLP-1 community and author of Decoding GLP1: A Guide for Friends and Family of Those on the Pen. David opens up about his own weight loss journey, struggles with type 2 diabetes, and why traditional "eat less, move more" advice often isn't enough. He demystifies the science behind GLP-1 medications, shares the fascinating history of their development (think lizard venom, not snake oils!), and breaks down the latest options and future innovations in this rapidly evolving space. Whether you're considering these medications, supporting a loved one who is, or just curious about the hype, this episode will give you clear, compassionate, and evidence-backed insights. Plus, you'll hear candid discussions about stigma, navigating the world of compounded versus branded medications, and practical advice on achieving lasting wellness—no matter where you're starting from.

If you're frustrated by weight gain, depleted energy, or feel like your metabolism suddenly hit a wall, you're not alone—especially if you're navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause or menopause. In this empowering episode, health journalist Natalie Tysdal is joined by Stephanie Crassweller, international speaker, master's-level nutrition coach, and host of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast. Together, they dive into the not-so-obvious drivers behind women's metabolism in midlife—and what you can actually do about them. Expect practical strategies, compassionate insight, and the truth about why “eat less, move more” simply isn't the answer for women in this season of life. Learn how to work with your shifting hormones and stress response—not against them—to support sustainable energy, metabolism, and well-being. 3 Key Takeaways from This Episode Stress is the Unsung Metabolism Saboteur Chronic stress and elevated cortisol disrupt everything from sleep and gut health to thyroid function, making it harder to burn fat and easier to gain weight. Recognizing and managing stress is essential to healing your metabolism. Eating Less Isn't Always Better Undereating and inconsistent fueling push your body into fight-or-flight mode, increasing inflammation and triggering metabolic slowdown. For many women, doing less with more intention works better than pushing harder. Hormones Change the Metabolic Game As estrogen and progesterone decline, the body loses its built-in stress protection, exposing hidden issues with blood sugar, thyroid, and inflammation. Understanding your hormonal landscape helps you make changes that work for your unique body. In This Conversation, We Cover   Why traditional weight loss approaches often backfire after age 35   The hidden impact of under-eating and why breakfast matters   Simple first steps for women overwhelmed by nutrition “rules”   The difference between male and female metabolism   How routines, meal prep, and smart shortcuts support success   What Dutch testing is and when to consider hormone labs   Why sustainable food swaps and real-life habits matter more than perfection More About This Episode Stephanie Crassweller brings decades of experience in women's health, holding a master's degree and certifications in nutrition coaching, functional health, personal training, and exercise therapy. In this episode, she explains how stress, sleep, under-fueling, and hormone shifts affect metabolism, especially in perimenopause and menopause. She and Natalie discuss how even “healthy” processed foods and common dieting advice can work against women's health goals. Instead, they share how to simplify nutrition, embrace whole foods, support hormone balance, and develop easy habits that reduce stress and increase energy. This is a must-listen if you've ever wondered why your body feels different as you age—or if you've felt frustrated watching men lose weight faster with less effort. You'll walk away with real-world strategies to help your body work for you, not against you. Subscribe for More New episodes every Monday.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the show that brings you the most current news and insights on Ozempic, semaglutide, and the world of medical weight loss. Today we are diving into the latest clinical findings, real-life impacts, and debates about the future of this groundbreaking medication.Ozempic, which contains the active ingredient semaglutide, has been a game changer in managing type 2 diabetes, but what is making headlines is its powerful effect on weight loss. Large clinical trials, highlighted by the STEP studies and summarized by Heally and Dr Oracle, show patients on semaglutide 2 point 4 milligrams weekly have lost an average of almost 15 percent of their body weight after about 16 months. That is a remarkable number compared to older options. However, the rise of even newer drugs, such as tirzepatide, is moving the average even higher, up to 22 percent according to recent trials, yet Ozempic remains a trusted and widely prescribed option due to its solid balance of safety and effectiveness.Despite these successes, important new research and medical commentary from University of Virginia and Medical News Today reveal a nuanced picture. Weight loss from Ozempic is not just burning fat—it can also reduce muscle and even affect bone density. People have reported feeling like their strength has faded while using the drug. This loss of lean mass is now under the microscope, with recent studies confirming that a significant fraction of the weight lost may be muscle, not just fat. Maintaining muscle is essential for long-term health, heart function, and quality of life, especially as we age. Scientists and doctors now emphasize the importance of adding resistance exercise and prioritizing adequate protein intake if you or someone you know is using Ozempic for weight loss.Another topic in the headlines is what happens when people stop Ozempic. According to researchers at McGill University, stopping the drug often results in regaining some weight—roughly half of what was lost after a year off treatment. This makes weight maintenance an ongoing process, often requiring sustained lifestyle changes or ongoing medication.Not all Ozempic is created equal, and the Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to avoid unapproved or counterfeit versions sold online. FDA officials report that unapproved versions may not only be less effective, they can be dangerous, with some found to contain incorrect ingredients or inappropriate dosing. Always get your prescription from a licensed pharmacy, and never buy these drugs labeled as research chemicals or not for human use.Amid booming interest, another trend is the rise of GLP-1 mimicking supplements that claim to offer similar weight loss. According to Harvard experts, these supplements are neither as effective nor as rigorously tested as true semaglutide medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy. For real results and safety, stick with prescribed medications under medical supervision.Before we go, here is a quick roundup. Ozempic and its class of GLP-1 drugs are transforming weight loss medicine, but they come with caveats: possible muscle loss, the potential for weight regain, and uncertainties about long-term impacts beyond the scale, like heart and lung function. Pairing Ozempic with healthy eating, resistance training, and medical guidance gives the best shot at long-lasting health.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome, listeners, to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked – your trusted source for the latest news and updates on Ozempic and its impact on health, lifestyle, and medicine.Ozempic, originally developed by Novo Nordisk to help manage type two diabetes, has skyrocketed in popularity for its ability to suppress appetite, slow digestion, and help people achieve significant weight loss. Since its approval in 2017, Ozempic's active ingredient, semaglutide, has not only helped people lower their blood sugar, but has also turned into a twenty-one billion dollar blockbuster thanks to growing demand, celebrity mentions, and viral trends on social media.According to recent coverage on NDTV and Science Alert, millions have experienced meaningful weight loss while on Ozempic and similar appetite-suppressing medications. Reports mention that some users have lost up to twenty pounds or more within just a few months. However, new research from Peking University highlights an important concern: weight loss achieved with Ozempic is often not permanent. Studies analyzed over two thousand participants and found that when patients stopped taking these medications, they typically regained the lost weight—on average, about five and a half pounds within five months of discontinuation. Notably, those who lost the most during treatment tended to gain back more afterward. The underlying reasons for this pattern are not totally clear yet, but the body may undergo changes during weight loss that make it harder to maintain results once the medication is stopped.Aside from weight regain, another consideration is muscle loss. UVA Health researchers have found that while GLP-1 medications like Ozempic can help patients shed fat, about half the weight lost can actually be muscle. Dr. Zhenqi Liu has pointed out that losing muscle, especially those essential for posture and movement, can lower overall fitness and well-being. Because of this, experts recommend maintaining regular exercise routines and ensuring enough protein intake while on these medications to help preserve muscle mass.For those concerned about side effects, reports from The Independent note that although most users tolerate Ozempic well, nausea and digestive issues are common and have, in some cases, led to emergency room visits. But, there is promising news on the horizon: scientists have developed an experimental drug, known for now as TDP, that delivered weight loss in animal studies without causing nausea or vomiting. Human trials are expected to begin within two years.Shifting to broader health impacts, three newly presented studies at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery suggest medications like Ozempic may even have brain-protective benefits. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that patients taking Ozempic had a considerably lower risk of stroke-related death compared to those not taking the drug, and seemed to recover better post-stroke.Ozempic is also reshaping eating habits on a national scale. Food Dive recently reported that more than six million U.S. adults – about two percent of the population – are taking GLP-1 medications. Studies from the University of Arkansas show that, on average, users of Ozempic consume seven hundred fewer calories a day and tend to cut back on processed foods, sugary drinks, refined grains, and red meat. Grocery spending overall fell by six percent in households with someone on one of these medications. At the same time, consumption of fruits, leafy greens, and water has increased.However, it is crucial to consider possible psychological effects. Business Insider highlights concerns about new or worsened eating disorders among some users, particularly in those with previous histories of restrictive eating. Experts strongly advise against taking these medications without a genuine medical need.The rise of Ozempic and similar medications represents a major shift in how we approach weight loss and chronic disease—but it is not without its caveats. If you or someone you know is considering or already using Ozempic, make sure to consult with a healthcare professional for comprehensive guidance, emphasizing not just the numbers on the scale, but also total health and long-term wellness.That wraps up this episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

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.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we break down the latest in news and updates on Ozempic and its sweeping impact on health, lifestyle, and medicine.Let us start with what continues to drive the headlines. Ozempic, known generically as semaglutide, was initially designed to help manage blood sugar in type two diabetes. But it's now become widely used for weight loss, including for people without diabetes, as doctors weigh its benefits against risks. GoodRx explains that Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals the brain to lessen your appetite and makes you feel full sooner, so you take in fewer calories and, over time, drop pounds. Dosage is gradually increased for safety, but significant weight loss is possible. Clinical trial data shows that people taking one milligram weekly for forty weeks lost an average of thirteen pounds, while those on two milligrams lost even more. However, while a starting dose of point two five milligrams may not cause much weight loss, higher doses and longer use can result in larger changes.Studies highlighted by Yale University indicate that some individuals can lose up to fifteen percent of their body weight with semaglutide and related injections, which outperforms some earlier treatments. However, experts repeatedly caution listeners to remember that medical supervision is critical since not everyone is a suitable candidate for this medication.On another front, Ozempic's impact stretches beyond the scale. Healthline reports on a new study presented at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting, revealing that men with obesity or type two diabetes who take GLP-1 drugs experienced improved testosterone levels. According to the study, not only did participants lose about ten percent of their body weight, their total testosterone levels increased by eighteen percent, moving many from a low to a healthier hormonal status. This supports the growing body of evidence that managing weight with GLP-1 medications can have significant secondary health benefits.Yet, there are important new cautions. In February, the Food and Drug Administration revised Ozempic's official label to include heightened warnings about severe pancreatitis and kidney injuries. The update follows hundreds of lawsuits and reports of adverse effects such as gastroparesis, ileus, and even intestinal blockages. While many users only experience common gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain as reported by GoodRx, rare but serious risks exist. There is also increasing concern among clinicians, as noted in a JAMA commentary, about rapid muscle loss—sarcopenia—especially for older adults, since this can increase the risk of fractures and frailty.Regarding drug safety, compounded semaglutide products—those mixed at pharmacies rather than made by the original manufacturer—are under FDA scrutiny. The FDA cautions that compounded versions, which are increasingly popular and widely used, are not vetted for safety or quality, and adverse event reports have surged. Listeners should be extremely cautious and discuss any compounded medication with their healthcare team.For those wondering about the lasting power of weight loss on Ozempic, The Independent recently covered a new review of clinical trials which reveals a pattern many are now confronting. Patients often experience weight regain within weeks of stopping Ozempic or similar drugs. The review found that this rebound can last for around five months before weight stabilizes. The degree of regain depends on continued lifestyle changes and medication choice, highlighting the need for long-term planning and support.From the perspective of surgical weight loss, University of California San Francisco bariatric surgeon Jonathan Carter told UCSF News that Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs have shifted the landscape. For people with significant weight to lose, especially when other diseases are present, these drugs can be valuable, though they are not a panacea. Surgery remains the best option for some, but the arrival of more powerful and patient-friendly GLP-1 medications is expected to alter obesity care further.There is one more emerging angle: evidence is growing that Ozempic may reduce stroke risk and certain brain injury-related complications according to MedicalXpress, pointing to benefits well beyond slimming down. This has made the drug not just a household name, but a major talking point among doctors and public health leaders.That wraps up this edition of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Thank you for tuning in.

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we illuminate the latest about Ozempic's role in weight loss, health, and lifestyle transformation.Ozempic is in the spotlight as more people turn to it for help with weight loss, whether or not they have diabetes. GoodRx reports that Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone in your body that helps regulate blood sugar and suppress appetite, leading to fewer calories consumed. It also slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach and reduces sugar production in the liver. These combined effects can result in gradual, sustained weight loss.Clinical trials published by GoodRx show that people on a 1 milligram weekly dose of Ozempic lost an average of 13 pounds over about nine months. Even at the lower, 0.5 milligram dose, people with Type 2 diabetes lost about 8 pounds over seven months. While some use Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes, doctors may prescribe it off-label for weight loss in people with prediabetes to lower their risk of developing diabetes.However, Ozempic is not for everyone. Wegovy, which contains the same active ingredient as Ozempic, is actually approved by the Food and Drug Administration for weight loss in adults and children over 12 who are obese or overweight with at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure.One of the biggest questions is why some people have better weight loss results than others using Ozempic. Medical News Today highlights new research showing that several factors influence outcomes. Longer time on the medication, higher starting body fat, and even blood sugar levels all appear to play a role in weight loss success, especially for men. For women, lower skeletal muscle mass was linked to greater weight loss. Results can be variable, and doctors caution that more long-term studies are needed to determine how best to maintain the benefits after stopping the medication.Not all effects of Ozempic are positive, and side effects are an important consideration. According to GoodRx, many people experience nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain, especially when first starting Ozempic or increasing their dose. Typically, these symptoms get better over time, but careful oversight and gradual dose increases help minimize discomfort.Another critical issue is how Ozempic affects body composition. Healthline reports on a new study showing that weight lost with Ozempic is not just fat—muscle mass can decrease as well. This is especially a concern for older adults and women. To help prevent muscle loss, researchers recommend upping your protein intake and engaging in regular strength training while on the medication. Registered dietitians suggest aiming for at least one point two to one point five grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day, but always consult your healthcare team before making big diet changes.Another recent headline comes from Medical Xpress, which reports early indications that Ozempic could have benefits beyond weight loss, such as reducing the risk of stroke and complications related to certain brain injuries. These findings are still developing, but add to the growing discussion about the wide-ranging impacts of these new medications.While many achieve meaningful and sometimes life-changing results on Ozempic, experts stress the importance of close medical supervision. There is concern about people receiving these medications from providers outside of their usual healthcare teams, which can result in less comprehensive follow-up and care.To all our listeners: if you are considering Ozempic for weight loss, talk openly with your healthcare provider. Personal factors like muscle mass, body composition, existing conditions, and your ability to stick with healthy eating and exercise habits all influence your results and reduce risks.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

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.

Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? 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.

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?

Send us a textSelf-compassion is the missing ingredient for sustainable weight loss that many people overlook while focusing solely on diet and exercise. • Practicing self-compassion means treating yourself with the same kindness you would offer a friend• Common signs of negative self-talk include phrases like "I already messed up, I might as well continue" and "I don't have the willpower"• Self-compassion doesn't mean giving up on your goals, but rather giving yourself grace during setbacks• Social media can contribute to unrealistic expectations and negative self-comparison• Focus on tracking body composition and non-scale victories rather than fixating on weight• Identifying the root causes of emotional eating helps develop healthier coping strategies• Pausing and asking "what do I really need right now?" can interrupt emotional eating patterns• Replacing negative thoughts with constructive alternatives builds a healthier mindset• Weight loss is a lifelong journey, not a race with arbitrary deadlines• Building sustainable habits is more important than achieving rapid resultsFor a free downloadable healthy weight loss grocery list and guide, visit melissametri.com or find Melissa on Instagram @theweightlossdietitian.

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.
