But this conversation isn’t just clinical—it’s personal. Dr. Sayed shares how journaling, digital scales, and patient-doctor goal alignment can reignite motivation during a weight loss journey. From cutting-edge research in Korea to the controversial use of performance-enhancing peptides, this episode is a compelling look at how we can lose the fat without sacrificing our bodies. If you or someone you know is on or considering GLP-1 medications, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
