- Wonderfully informative
I love this podcast, and I find that every episode (even the ones I predict might not be relevant to me) turns out to have some nuggets of personally useful information. I’m on a GLP-1 (Mounjaro) and I’m so very glad I found this podcast to help me maximise my health and wellbeing. And I love the three presenters, they make a wonderful team!

This amazing podcast has changed my view in metabolism and weight. If you are dieting, struggling with weight or metabolic health, you need the information here. It is delivered in a soothing, non-judgemental way with science to back it up. Weight gain is not a lack of willpower, forget calories in, calories out. There is a measurable physiological cause for your woes. Mind blown.

Dr Cooper is very soothing when she talks! Ha! Thought I’d mention that. And more importantly, the message is soothing. In that, there is a deeper metabolic reason why so many struggle to lose weight and keep it off.

United States4 months ago - Love this podcast!
Update: I’ve been listening through all but 12 remaining episodes and while I do like it and learn a lot, I think the latest episode about telehealth was out of touch. I feel privileged to even have any access period to these metabolic meds, let alone flying to and from a private clinic in WA state as some of the patients must do every 3 months for blood tests. I get good information from Dr. Cooper on a science front, but one of the other hosts seems really out of touch.

Apple Podcasts4JulieS0911United States4 months ago - Compounding Isn’t the Enemy
Updating: Dr. Cooper operates as if physicians really do their due diligence with their patients. They do not. This is why many Americans have turned to telehealth. Not only that, but I’ve had physicians actively gatekeep medication from me. Dr. Cooper sees, acts, and speaks as if the American healthcare system is functional and, sadly, it is not. Also, I’d rather NOT force connections between myself and a physician who doesn’t even want to see me.
Disappointed to hear Dr. Cooper’s feelings re... more
