Did you know that your body has its own unique weight loss blueprint and it might be the key to finally seeing results?

In this episode, I explore the concept of obesity phenotypes and why one-size-fits-all approaches to weight loss often fail. I dive into the four main types I see in my practice: Hungry Brain, Emotional Hunger, Hungry Gut, and Slow Burn, and how understanding which one you align with can dramatically improve your treatment strategy. I also reflect on my own experiences, and those of my patients, emphasizing that it's not about willpower but biology and behavior. By identifying your phenotype, you can better tailor diets, medications, and lifestyle changes that work with your body instead of against it.

Did you know that some weight loss medications can help people lose up to 20% of their body weight, comparable to bariatric surgery outcomes?

In this episode, I dive into the latest research comparing two major weight loss medications, Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide), based on findings from the 72-week SURMOUNT-5 trial. I explain how Zepbound led to greater weight loss (about 20.2% vs. 13.7% with Wegovy), possibly due to its dual action on GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Both drugs were generally well tolerated, with similar side effects like nausea and constipation, though Wegovy had slightly more people stop due to GI issues. I also emphasize that while Zepbound may appear more effective, individual needs, such as cardiovascular health or sleep apnea, should guide treatment decisions. Lastly, I remind you that sustainable weight loss requires patience, realistic expectations, and a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes, not just medication.

Tune in to this episode to learn which weight loss medication might be right for you and why your journey to health is more than just the number on the scale.

Episode Highlights:

• Comparison of Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide)

• Average weight loss outcomes and waist circumference changes between both medications

• Mechanism of action: GLP-1 vs. dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor targeting

• Side effect profiles and tolerability of both medications

• FDA approval differences, including cardiovascular risk reduction and sleep apnea treatment

• Importance of personalized treatment plans and setting realistic weight loss expectations

• Ongoing research into oral formulations and long-term safety studies

Have you ever wondered how obesity can raise the risk for certain cancers? Today’s episode breaks down the real connection in a simple, honest way — and why it matters for your health and future.

In this episode, I talk about how excess body weight can lead to chronic inflammation, raise hormone levels like estrogen and insulin, and create an environment where cancer cells can grow more easily. I explain how obesity is linked to at least 13 types of cancers, including breast, colon, and liver cancers.

I share why knowing your family history is important and why many people with obesity miss out on necessary tests because of weight stigma and bias in healthcare. We cover real-life challenges, like how medical equipment isn’t always designed for larger bodies, and how that creates serious barriers. I also dive into hopeful news about how weight loss, medications like metformin, orlistat, and GLP-1 receptor agonists can help lower cancer risks. Throughout the conversation, I emphasize that compassionate, respectful care is a right, not a privilege.

Listen to the full episode to learn how to advocate for yourself, find the right doctors, and take powerful steps toward protecting your health. You are worthy of good care at every stage of your journey.
