Episode Summary:
In this episode of "Blasphemous Nutrition," Aimee shares the three most important questions to ask yourself before considering weight loss medications and other lifestyle medications prescribed for chronic disease caused by lifestyle factors. Aimee also provides clinical insights into the use of GLP one receptor agonists, a popular class of weight loss medications, and the need for further research on their long-term effects.

Notable Quotes:

• "Weight loss plans that neglect food quality and focus solely on calories may lead to metabolic adaptations that make it harder to lose weight and keep it off."
• "Utilizing weight loss medications without addressing emotional eating can lead to rebound weight gain once the medication is discontinued."
• "The best use for weight loss medications is as a support tool while addressing the root causes of weight gain, such as poor nutrition habits and emotional triggers."
• "Long-term data on the effects of GLP one receptor agonists and their impact on various body systems are still lacking, highlighting the need for further research."
