EP. 212: Today I’m joined by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, obesity specialist, Lipidologist, and founder of Vineyard, a cutting-edge direct care platform. We’re diving deep into the conversation you’ve been asking for: the real story behind GLP-1s, obesity as a chronic disease, and why treating it goes far beyond weight loss.

We break down everything from proper dosing, common side effects, and the dangers of vanity prescribing to the systemic issues with telemedicine and PBMs. Dr. Nadolsky and I also discuss strength training, preserving muscle mass, and how GLP-1s may support metabolic and cardiovascular health beyond their FDA indications.

This episode cuts through the noise and misinformation. If you care about metabolic health, this one’s essential.

Topics Discussed:

→ What are the real benefits of GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss?

→ Is obesity truly a chronic disease, and how should it be treated?

→ What are the risks of GLP-1 vanity dosing and fast titration?

→ How do GLP-1s impact muscle mass and metabolic health?

→ Why are telemedicine and PBMs problematic for obesity treatment?
