Dr. Clete Barrick is dual board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine, has treated thousands of GLP-1 patients going on five years, and has personally lost over 80 pounds on tirzepatide. In this premiere episode of Straight Shot, he tells the full story: how a Navy physician couldn't outrun his own biology, what changed when the food noise went quiet, and why he built this show.

He also breaks down the problem he sees every day: patients being mismanaged on GLP-1s by providers running one size fits all algorithms without understanding the clinical nuance. Patients told they're "maxed out" who have options nobody mentioned. Patients who think the medication failed when the care is what failed.

In this episode:

• Dr. Barrick's 80+ lbs. weight loss story on tirzepatide
• What "food noise" is and what it feels like when it stops
• Lessons from treating thousands of GLP-1 patients
• The Kevin story: told he was "maxed out," lost another 9%
• Why access to GLP-1s without expertise is failing patients
• What to expect from future episodes of Straight Shot

This is the show where an obesity medicine doctor who takes the medication himself gives you the information your doctor doesn't have time to explain. No hedging. No corporate script. Just the straight shot.
