  • Unfair portrayal of compounds

    I enjoy the podcast but I’m disappointed in their negative portrayal of compounded medication. They portray all compounded pharmacies as scam machines and that’s simply not the case especially with 503b pharmacies subject to FDA oversight. People with limited finances deserve treatment as well.

  • Fantastic Info

    This podcast is my favorite. Dr Cooper is so experienced, informed and intelligent with a wonderful side of humility too. Mark adds a nice tone too. My one criticism is that Andrea tends to be comic relief and it’s hard to listen to her talk over someone to get a laugh. I’m here for the best information and not the sillier side. This is probably my favorite podcast about GLP1s.

  • Excellent podcast

    I have listened and read so much about GLP 1s in my search to truly understand them. I find this podcast one of the best and the way things are explained stick in my head like for example GLP1 sending a signal that acts as a nutritional security blanket to the brain makes so much sense to me. I really appreciate how calm and easy all three of them are to listen to. Thank you very much for all the information!!
