In this episode, Dr Rakesh Jain and Dr Craig Chepke start off with breaking news, both the "good and the challenging," in schizophrenia treatment before diving into the real-world difficulties of weight management for their patients. They explore antipsychotic-induced weight gain, offering empowering, evidence-based insights on tools like metformin and GLP-1 receptor agonists. The two also reflect together on their personal journeys with weight management and the unexpected life lessons they've learned along the way. With their signature warmth, wit, and wisdom, Rakesh and Craig break down how clinicians can help patients take control of their own health, mind, and body. Whether a decades-long veteran MD or advanced practice provider early in your career, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and empowered to improve your patients' outcomes.
