Uncle Marv's UnHealthy Podcast

GLP-1 Warning: What Telehealth Isn’t Telling You (EP 77)


Listen Later

Tired of trying to decode health headlines and influencer advice on your own? In this Straight Shooting Health Newscast, Uncle Marv walks you through the latest stories shaping your health—from FDA warning letters about compounded GLP‑1 weight loss drugs sold through telehealth, to a new HHS‑backed push for more nutrition education in medical schools. He digs into falling public trust in agencies like the CDC, FDA, and NIH, explains why people still lean on their personal doctors, and shares how to find credible medical information when the noise gets loud. You’ll also hear why AI chatbots can backfire for people with serious mental health conditions, what a GRAS loophole means for hidden food chemicals, and how biological age, keto, and exercise tie into brain health and blood sugar.
