**Friends, we are so sorry about the audio issues we've had lately. We are implementing new standards to improve audio quality for both ourselves and our guests. We appreciate the kind feedback and the absence of negative reviews. Positive reviews help us grow so we can help people who are lost, lonely, sick, and need education and community. Negative reviews have the opposite effect. Thank you for your patience as we work through these new standards, and thank you for showing us grace.

The scale has ruled health for decades, but modern obesity care shows it only tells part of the story. In this episode, we explore how GLP-1 therapies and advanced body composition analysis provide a clearer picture of health beyond weight alone. We discuss BMI, the Body Roundness Index, SECA body composition insights, why baselines matter, and how new global guidance is reshaping the future of obesity treatment.

In this holiday special, we explore obesity as a chronic disease and how GLP-1 medications are changing treatment, access, and outcomes. Our expert guest, Dr Robyn Pashby, breaks down the differences between GLP-1 therapy and bariatric surgery, explains types of disordered eating and emotional eating, and discusses the mental and social adjustments that often come with significant weight loss.
We also address weight bias in medicine, body image after weight change, and how food-centered holidays can impact those who are actively losing weight or maintaining on a GLP-1. This episode offers practical coping strategies, compassionate insight, and evidence-based guidance for navigating food, emotions, and health during the holidays.

In this episode, we discuss the complexities of obesity, moving far beyond the simple "calories in, calories out" narrative. Our conversation unravels the latest science to distinguish between different types of obesities (e.g., metabolically healthy vs. unhealthy, visceral vs. subcutaneous fat distribution), challenging the perception of obesity as a single, uniform condition. 

Experts in obesity medicine and educators, we examined the landscape of collegiate obesity and nutrition education of future leaders. We dive into how the landscape of obesity treatment is being introduced to new students and practitioners. Our experts contrast modern, holistic, and evidence-based approaches with past didactic methods, emphasizing metabolic health, patient empathy, and anti-bias training.

Our astute educators help Debunk GLP-1 Myths as well. A critical segment is dedicated to dismantling the misconception that weight loss on GLP-1 agonists (like Ozempic or Wegovy) is simply due to calorie restriction alone. Our experts explain the drug's mechanisms involving satiety signals, gastric emptying, and metabolic pathways, proving it is a complex hormonal and neurological intervention.

Don’t miss this important episode, and learn how the future of obesity treatment is being shaped.
