Are GLP-1s Everything We Hoped For?
Q: What are the long-term concerns or unknowns with GLP-1s?

Are GLP-1s Everything We Hoped For?
Q: What are the major changes in access and pricing since last year?

Are GLP-1s Everything We Hoped For?
Q: Can you also quickly sum up your stance on GLP-1s and how you or your fellow practitioners are using them?
GLP-1s are a tool in treating obesity as a disease, used alongside lifestyle changes, similar to other chronic disease medications, with emphasis on long-term management and multidisciplinary care.
Why is Cancer So Hard to Cure?
Q: Is there a cure for cancer?
The host and guest explain that curing cancer depends on stage; early localized cancers can be cured, while advanced stages often require a combination of treatments and may only achieve remission or long-term control, with immunotherapy offering new hope for some patients.
How to Poop the Right Way

People often strain when they poop, and the ideal movement involves relaxed pelvic floor muscles with a gentle urge; pushing and bearing down should be minimized to prevent pelvic floor injury and prolapse.
