Dr. Lindsay Ogle, DO: Why “Eat Less, Move More” Doesn’t Work

Dr. Lindsay Ogle joins Amanda Bonello on the GLP-1 Studio Podcast to break down the biology of obesity, explain set point theory, and talk about why shame-based advice like “eat less, move more” has never worked.

They cover how GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are changing what care can look like for people living with obesity, and why real, sustainable treatment goes beyond willpower.

Dr. Ogle is a board-certified obesity medicine physician and the host of the Modern Metabolic Health podcast. She also shares how she brings this science back to her patients with compassion, not judgment.

What We Talk About:

- Why "eat less, move more" doesn't address biology- How set point theory explains weight regain- What GLP-1 medications actually do in the body- Why so many diets fail long-term- The science of insulin resistance and hunger hormones- Why obesity is a chronic disease, not a personal failure

Quotes

“When we cut back on calories, our body thinks it’s starving. It slows our metabolism, increases our hunger hormones, and tries to protect us.” — Dr. Lindsay Ogle

“It’s not a lack of willpower. Most people with obesity have already tried everything.” — Dr. Lindsay Ogle
