  • Absolute best podcast!

    There are a lot of podcasts out there about weight loss and GLP-1 medications. They run the gamut from informative to misguided, from clever to forgettable—and there are so many of them. Where's an old girl, clutching her brand-new box of Zepbound, supposed to find trustworthy guidance?

    That was exactly my situation two years ago.

    Happily—and enthusiastically—I can tell you that The Obesity Guide podcast, hosted by Dr.

    Matthea Rentea, is likely the only one you'll need. Through sheer dumb lu... more

  • Favorite Podcast

    This is hands down my favorite podcast for individuals of all shapes and sizes as it covers many different facets of what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s at the top of my referral list as a registered dietitian for clients on a weight loss or GLP-1 journey. I love her tone, direct but compassionate messaging. Her guests are experts in their field or patients with wonderful insight on how they successfully navigated their path forward under her guidance.

  • The help I needed

    Found this podcast the day before I started on Zepbound. Feeling alone in this journey and like a failure for starting the meds. This podcast helped in so many ways. Advice, community, relevant topics. It is for anyone in any stage or just wanting some information. Two months in as of this week and on my way. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Your Brain Is Wired to Crave (And How to Retrain It) with Dr. Glenn Livingston
Q: How should a listener think about cravings as they begin this work?
View cravings as signals that can be extinguished through a structured plan and supportive environment, recognizing that relapse is part of the process and not a personal failure.
Why Your Brain Is Wired to Crave (And How to Retrain It) with Dr. Glenn Livingston
Q: What is the first practical step you recommend to someone trying to regain control over cravings?
Begin with one simple rule you can actually follow, such as putting the fork down between bites or not going back for seconds, and establish a clear boundary to trigger the pause in the decision process.
Why Your Brain Is Wired to Crave (And How to Retrain It) with Dr. Glenn Livingston
Q: In the moment, how do you create the pause that lets someone access their reasoning when craving chocolate on a weekday?
Start with a simple rule that's easy to follow, read it aloud daily to lock in the habit, and use a brief breathing technique to shift from the fight-or-flight state to a calmer, more deliberate state.
Social Media, Comparison, and Weight Loss: Protecting Your Mental Health Online with Schnelle Acevedo
Q: What should people do to avoid falling into the comparison trap online, especially around health and weight loss?
The guest emphasizes remembering that most online content is curated and fabricated; focus on your own journey, verify information with medical professionals, and cultivate skepticism about dramatic before-and-after shifts.
The Hair Loss Conversation Your Doctor Should Be Having With You with Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia
Q: How does the treatment approach change if there's a potential tumor producing androgens?
If a tumor is suspected, a comprehensive evaluation of ovaries and adrenals is performed to identify and address the source; only after ruling out such causes would more standard PMOS/androgen management be pursued.
