Together, they discuss how common conditions can lead to cortisol elevations that resemble Cushing syndrome, the clinical patterns that raise concern for neoplastic hypercortisolism, and the growing role of the Desmopressin Stimulation Test in helping distinguish between the two. The episode also highlights emerging research, including insights from the Catalyst study and the potential role of cortisol-directed therapy.

Join endocrine expert Dr. David Lieb as he moderates a discussion with Dr. Karl Nadolsky, Chair of the AACE Obesity Algorithm, and Dr. Timothy Garvey, Vice Chair, as they review the 2025 AACE Algorithm for the Evaluation and Treatment of Adults with Obesity/Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease and highlight key updates since 2016. The experts discuss advances in pharmacotherapy, the evolution of complication-centric and person-centered care, and strategies to reduce weight bias in clinical practice. They also share guidance on individualizing therapy and look ahead to the future of obesity medications as new treatments emerge.

Join endocrine expert Dr. David Lieb as he moderates a discussion with Dr. Shailendra Patel, Chair of the 2025 AACE Dyslipidemia Algorithm; Dr. Maria Belalcazar, Vice Chair; and Dr. Robert Hegele, Author and Representative of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, about the 2025 Updated Algorithm for Management of Adults with Dyslipidemia.

This episode covers:

• The rationale behind updating the algorithm and how it aligns with the 2025 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Pharmacologic Management of Adults with Dyslipidemia
• Key updates from the 2020 algorithm, including expanded guidance on hypertriglyceridemia and lipid management in special populations
• Practical strategies for integrating the algorithm into everyday clinical practice and medical education with an emphasis on patient-centered care, shared decision making, and health equity
• Emerging therapies on the horizon and priority areas for future research
