Today's topic is about maintaining weight on a GLP-1 after achieving your goal weight and health objectives. Is there a need to alter your diet during the maintenance phase to avoid further weight loss? Our guest, Kim, who started her Mounjaro journey last year, will share her experiences with the challenges of staying in the maintenance phase. Our specialist, Megan Wolf, a bariatric dietitian, will provide insights on what this new phase entails. Remember, the journey doesn't end at maintenance.

Today's episode is dedicated to addressing a controversial topic - compound pharmacies and GLP-1 medications. The lack of availability and affordability of medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro has become a growing concern. In light of this, The Plus SideZ has invited specialists to educate the community on compounding pharmacies. There is not enough information available on this topic, and our community is in dire need of guidance. Join us as we speak with Dr. Daniel Rosen, Dr. Myra Ahmad, and Dr. Adam Ripley to explore the ins and outs of GLP-1 compounding pharmacies.

Our doctors have provided answers to some common questions regarding compound GLP-1 medications. They have addressed concerns about the safety of these medications and whether compound pharmacies are regulated. They have also explained that not all compound pharmacies are created equal and have highlighted some red flags that patients should look out for. Additionally, our doctors have addressed concerns about where compound pharmacies are sourcing drugs like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, especially since retail brand manufacturers like Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have stated that they are not providing these medications to them.

Today's topic is a sensitive one, childhood obesity and endocrine therapy. We also discuss binge eating disorder in this episode. During our research for this podcast, we discovered that there are experts who specialize in pediatric obesity as well as bariatric surgery for children. Many of us have benefited from GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy in treating obesity and improving our health. Since genetics plays a role in obesity, parents may wonder about their children's health. This is a challenging and controversial topic to discuss. Recently, Wegovy has been approved for treating obesity in children aged 12 and above. However, we should also consider the developmental and social implications of obesity in teenagers. We have the guidance of Dr. Karla Lester, a pediatric obesity specialist, to help us navigate this uncomfortable but necessary conversation.

Dr. Karla Lester is a pediatrician, Diplomate of the ABOM, Certified Life Coach and founder of IME Community for teens and drkarlamd Metabolic Telehealth. Dr. Lester has dedicated her pediatric career to creating community solutions for children’s health. She is the author of “the magical everywhere”, “12 months of self-love superpowers journal” and the “Health Yourself” eBook for teens. Follow Dr. Karla on TikTok where she is known for disrupting weight stigma and bias in medicine and calling out the harms of diet culture. Dr. Karla has been interviewed by NBC News, Today.com, Newsweek, Buzzfeed

We have a special guest in our community today, Mandy, who has faced the challenge of weight gain throughout her life despite being active. At the young age of 19, Mandy was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and later with PCOS. While she managed to lose weight several times, it would always come back over time. Mandy comes from a rural area with limited medical care and endured years of intense stress that made it difficult for her to lose weight and keep it off. At one point, her weight reached 400 lbs. Following the loss of her brother due to complications from bariatric surgery, Mandy was determined to take control of her health and considered traveling to Mexico for bariatric surgery. However, she discovered Mounjaro on TikTok and has since lost an impressive 134 lbs. Today, Mandy bravely shares her story, hoping to inspire others who may feel alone and helpless. Our medical expert for today is Dr. Shelly, an internal medicine doctor, and board-certified obesity specialist who also struggled with obesity in the past. She leverages GLP-1 medication personally but also prescribes them to help her patients to treat their obesity.

Kathrin shares her community story and journey with obesity and Mounjaro. Kathrin identifies as a Queer, Black Latina and she speaks about how she often felt othered being the largest person in her family. She bravely shared her experience with an insatiable hunger and how she tried every diet there was, as well as regular exercise and physical activity but the weight always came back on. Kathrin has found a new life since taking Mounjaro and is unwilling to go back to the way life was before. She’s begun advocating with her employer to try to get anti-obesity medications like Mounjaro covered and she tells us how. Our specialist guest tonight is Brittany. She began her career working in the appeals department of a health insurance company but soon entered the world of human resources. Brittany is a Benefits Director and shares her knowledge about the ins and outs of health insurance plans. We also discuss if it’s possible to leverage the Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives to get anti-obesity medications on more formularies.  If we know the rules, we can play the game to advocate for our health!

Rosie O'Donnell is a type 2 diabetic who wants everyone to have access to weight loss medications affordably.

Pitch to Media (copy and paste to the media)
A community podcast called The Plus SideZ serves the GLP-1(Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy) obese community. As a guest on my podcast, Rosie O’Donnell, a type 2 diabetic, was the first diabetic celebrity to say these groundbreaking weight loss meds need to be available to all affordably. She is publicly offering to rep Mounjaro for Eli Lily FREE if they only extend the $25 coupon that is ENDING June 30th, 2023. The coupon made this LIFE-CHANGING medication accessible to countless individuals over the last year whose lives have been transformed by its effectiveness. Here’s the link.

Episode 13: https://youtu.be/MNMp1JONuVQ

Today, we have Rosie O'Donnell with us! During our conversation, Rosie shares her personal struggles with weight, the constant battle with food noise, dealing with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and the challenges of social stereotypes in the entertainment industry. As a member of our GLP-1 Mounjaro community on TikTok, Rosie is passionate about promoting the benefits of Mounjaro and GLP-1 medications, which have given her the freedom to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

During today's discussion, we will explore the various levels at which endocrine therapy can be effective in treating insulin resistance. Our community guest speaker is Dave Knapp, also known as Man on the Mounjaro, a popular YouTube personality. Dave has battled obesity since his late teens and was eventually diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He will share his personal journey of managing obesity and his family's history of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Dave uses Mounjaro to manage his obesity and lower his A1C levels. We are also honored to have Dr. Melissa Young, an endocrinology specialist and TikTok sensation, join us. She will explain the role of hormones in obesity and type 2 diabetes, and discuss the spectrum of insulin resistance. Additionally, she will cover how GLP-1s like Ozempic or Mounjaro can provide endocrine therapy for both obesity and type 2 diabetes.
