More than 50% of the country vehemently disagrees with the idea that MAHA and other administration policies are somehow anti-science. Generally great content, but often the conversations get political. Pushing a certain agenda.

I find some of it interesting, though I disagree that “obesity is a symptom of an underlying metabolic disorder,” as Dr. Cooper likes to say. She ignores overeating as a cause for obesity. Her information seems anecdotal, not based on science. But the reason I will no longer listen to this podcast is that she brought politics into the discussion. Whether or not you like the current administration, it’s not to be blamed for obesity and shouldn’t have entered the conversation.
I have loved, recommended, and supported this podcast for a long time. But the recent episode with Dr. Vin Gupta should have never been released. It’s boring and uninformative. Dr. Gupta is clearly not well-versed in GLP1s and never misses an awkward opportunity to take a dig at the current administration. I think the Fat Science team was star struck with the guest and their unneeded, amateurish and smug political bias was leaking out all over the place. Do better going forward please.
Thanks for all the invaluable information!!
As someone who has just recently started the zepbound journey and has struggled with their weight for years, I am enjoying Dr. Cooper's medical explanations that you won't get in your local doctor's office. I want to understand what I'm taking and how it's working in my body. The 4 star rating is because the comic relief aspect from one of the other hosts is more annoying than funny. I fast forward through those and it provides no value to me as a listener.
