  • Great podcast

    As a physician practicing obesity medicine, a lifelong exercise and sports enthusiast, and caretaker of a body (mine), I find this podcast essential. It spans the bridge for laypeople and those in healthcare. The reviews of medical evidence, expert scientific guests, and current important papers is great for my physician side; practical tips and analysis of web based truths and/or nonsense (and everything in between) helps me personally as well. Thanks guys!

  • Fun to listen to with great insight

    I began my GLP-1 journey and wanted to continue to gain more knowledge as I make future decisions. I found this podcast and have enjoyed it. I enjoy the guests they have and the information that is shared. There are other podcasts out there that provide good information, but I really enjoy the conversation that takes place and the humor along the way. While this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, if you’re looking for a relaxed way to listen and learn, this is it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Do GLP-1 Medicines Actually Cause Muscle Loss? New Research With Dr. Henning Langer
Q: How did the human component complement the animal data?
In humans, despite weight loss, there was no significant drop in objective muscle strength measures like hand grip or knee extension; there is still need for longer-term and larger studies, but early data are reassuring clinically.
Do GLP-1 Medicines Actually Cause Muscle Loss? New Research With Dr. Henning Langer
Q: What motivated you to study GLP-1 drugs and skeletal muscle directly?
We were looking at the STEP-1 trial signals showing substantial lean mass loss and wanted to see if muscle tissue itself was truly affected, separating changes in lean mass from actual muscle loss and function.
GLP-1 Genetics: Predicting Weight Loss and Side Effects With 23andMe's Dr. Adam Auton
Q: What did you find about the GLP-1 and GIP receptors in relation to weight loss and side effects?
A signal in the GLP-1 receptor linked to efficacy and side effects emerged; a variant in the GIP receptor in tirzepatide users also affected side effects by removing buffering, while overall weight loss showed only partial dependence on these variants.
GLP-1 Genetics: Predicting Weight Loss and Side Effects With 23andMe's Dr. Adam Auton
Q: How did you set up the study and recruit participants?
They recruited from a large direct-to-consumer genetics database, collecting survey data on medications, dosages, duration, weight loss, and side effects before associating those responses with genetic data from consented participants.
Bimagrumab and Semaglutide: The BELIEVE Trial Results With Dr. Steven Heymsfield
Q: What were the key findings in terms of body composition for each group?
Bimagrumab alone produced notable fat loss with a small increase in lean mass; semaglutide alone caused substantial weight loss with some lean mass loss; the combination yielded very large fat loss with minimal lean mass loss, resulting in a favorable fat-to-lean ratio.
