Weight Loss Meds: Myths & Realities (Dr. Sheri Poznanovic & Board-Certified Coach Erin Chain)

Less than 2 years ago, you’d likely never heard of GLP-1 mediations. Today, it’s on the tip of everyone’s tongue as the solution to weight management, has longstanding organizations like Weight Watchers on the verge of bankruptcy and is making employee benefits coverage for employers more difficult than ever due to the cost. How does it work? Why are so many people talking about it? What are the potential dangers? And are there safe, smart ways to proceed down this path?

We are extremely fortunate today to have physician Dr. Sheri Poznanovic and nationally board-certified health & wellness coach Erin Chain join us on today’s episode of The Coaching Lab podcast. Known as Dr. Sheri, Poznanovic is triple board certified in Nutrition, Lifestyle, and Obesity Medicine. After more than 15 years as a practicing pediatric ENT surgeon in Colorado, her career focus shifted to lifestyle, wellness, and nutrition counseling. She also has a Master of Science degree in Nutrition and Human Performance, and has had her work published in peer-reviewed journals. She is the founder of Optin Health & Nutrition, a comprehensive nutrition & lifestyle medicine practice in Colorado. Contact Optin via pozmd@optin4health.com or (303) 495-9013
