Part 2

This episode explores the complex nature of insulin resistance and the role of GLP-1 therapies in its management. We delve into the concept of a "healthy size," challenging the traditional approach of solely focusing on obesity through diet and exercise.

Part 2
This episode delves into the intricate relationship between insulin resistance, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and obesity. We explore how these conditions often intertwine, leading to a cyclical pattern that can be challenging to break.

We discuss the fascinating study of adipose tissue's remarkable ability to remember past weight gain, even after significant weight loss. This phenomenon sheds light on the persistent challenges faced by individuals who have lost weight and are striving to maintain their progress.

We also delve into the critical role of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and caloric consumption in weight management. Understanding these factors can empower individuals to make informed choices about their diet and exercise routines.

Finally, we compare and contrast two groundbreaking medications, semaglutide and tirzepitide. Both drugs have shown remarkable efficacy in treating obesity, but there are key differences in their mechanisms of action and potential side effects. We explore the latest research to determine which medication may be the best fit for different individuals.

In this episode, we try to unravel the confusing web that is the intricate workings of the pharmacy industry. We try to grasp a better understanding of the role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and explore the differences between chain pharmacies and PBM pharmacies. We also touch on the rise of Cost-Plus Pharmacies, including Mark Cuban's pharmacy, and how they aim to disrupt traditional pricing models.

We chat with Forest Park Pharmacy co-owner Brad Hart as he analyzes the challenges faced by CVS, despite owning a PBM like Caremark, and examines the intricacies of GoodRx and its impact on prescription drug costs. We'll also explore the purpose of price checkers and how they can empower consumers to make informed decisions.

We discuss the challenges faced by Medicare recipients and local pharmacies in accessing affordable medications, particularly GLP-1 therapies. It’s a jungle out there in the pharmacy world, and we think this will help give us just a bit of clarity in the complexities in a confusing pharmaceutical arena.

The Plus SideZ Podcast: Cracking the Obesity Code
Hosts: Kim Carlos & Kat Carter
Special Guest: Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom

In this episode of The Plus SideZ Podcast, hosts Kim Carlos and Kat Carter sit down with Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom, to discuss the evolving landscape of obesity treatments, lifestyle changes, and the intersection of traditional diet culture with modern medical advancements.

From Noom's founding principles to its advocacy for affordable GLP-1 medications, Geoff provides an insider perspective on how the company is adapting to the shift toward treating obesity as a chronic disease rather than a willpower issue.

We tackle questions about Noom’s recent campaigns, the challenges of redefining a brand traditionally associated with dieting, and how Noom’s approach to GLP-1-guided lifestyle support stands apart from competitors like Weight Watchers. Geoff also shares insights on the company’s collaboration with businesses and lawmakers to ensure accessibility and affordability for weight management tools.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of obesity care, societal changes in perception, and what’s next for Noom.

Learn More:
Find Noom at Noom.com or follow them on social media.

Tune in to this important discussion and take a step toward understanding the future of obesity treatment and advocacy
