• Weight Loss Drugs: Starting, Stopping And The Surprising Side Effects

  How do weight loss injections work and does the weight pile on again when you stop them? You’ve heard about your G-spot but what about your A-spot and your O-spot ? And how to deal with a phobia of needles. In this episode, Bariatrician GP Dr Jessica McEwan talks about the potential benefits and risks of GLP-1 agonists including what happens if you take too much. We also discuss how to talk to your GP to find out if you meet the appropriate guidelines for prescription and how lifestyle changes including diet and exercise are crucial to their success. Also, we talk about how the food industry is trying to make ultra-processed foods even more addictive to override the effects of these drugs. Ask The Doc: Ask us a question in The Waiting Room.

• Let’s Talk About Our Weight

  Can you actually be healthy at any weight? What do leeches have to do with gynaecological issues? And what to do if you keep getting styes in your eye. In this episode, we have an important conversation about weight. Endocrinologist Dr Isobelle Smith talks about whether weight loss is more than just calories in and calories out, how to downsize fat not muscle and what your hormones have to do with your weight. We also discuss whether BMI is still a valid measure and how focusing on your health, rather than your weight may be the key. Also, is a “weight set point” actually a thing?
