EP. 244: In today’s episode, I break down the new BMJ study on weight regain after stopping GLP-1 medications and explain why these headlines do not mean GLP-1s are ineffective. Truth is, most people don’t realize how medication for a chronic disease works.  I unpack what the research actually shows about obesity as a disease, treating vs. curing obesity, weight regain, metabolism, and why this outcome is expected when treating ANY chronic condition.

I also touch on why high-dose GLP-1 use without strength training, gut support, and sustainable lifestyle changes can create problems long term, and what a more thoughtful approach to metabolic health really looks like.
