  • I like it but…

    I’ve listened to basically all episodes. I love the interviews with excellent experts. Holly and Jim’s bias seems to be against long term use of GLP1s. I use Zepbound and it 100% allows me maintain all of my healthy habits to maintain my 40 lb loss for over a year. I’ve never been able to maintain with such ease. GLP1 meds are MAINTENANCE meds. Also antidotes have nothing to do with anecdotes!!

  • Science and soul

    Love the thoughtful questions Dr Holly and Dr Hill ask their guests. My favorite episodes are their solo ones where you get to hear their take on GLP1s, what it takes to maintain weight loss, and especially the mind state of successful weight loss.

    I always learn something when I listen.

  • New book

    Will your new book on getting off weight loss medication have a robust actual plan to follow for weight management? My doctor doesn’t know how to help do the weight management piece. Lost a good amount of weight but 1 year after it’s all back…despite a health exercise, including resistance training. Want to do the glp 1 again…but with an actual exit strategy.

  • Great episode with tips to avoid self sabotage.

    I took little nuggets away from this episode-power of positivity, combining weight loss …AND. During the episode it became clear to me that in addition to weight loss, I want to be fit, lean, and strong. I want that extra energy. Feeling more motivated after listening! 😊💪🏼🦵

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hidden Influence of Community and Environment with Christina Economos
Q: How do you approach getting a community ready for intervention and ensuring sustainability?
Readiness, trust-building, stakeholder involvement, data harmonization, co-design and implementation, and ensuring results are shared with a plan for sustainability are essential to successful community interventions.
The Hidden Influence of Community and Environment with Christina Economos
Q: Shape Up Somerville—what were you actually trying to do and what surprised you the most?
We designed a multi-level, community-based intervention to prevent childhood obesity by creating a surround-sound of healthy options across schools, homes, restaurants, and neighborhoods, which led to a measurable improvement in BMI and spillover benefits to families.
The Hidden Influence of Community and Environment with Christina Economos
Q: What pulled you into working with communities?
I was motivated by a desire to replicate the success of other social change movements—like seat belts and recycling—by applying those same elements to obesity prevention, aiming for population-wide impact rather than one-on-one work.
What Comes After GLP-1 Success with Ken Fujioka
Q: How do you personalize treatment for a patient, given cost and coverage concerns?
He explains starting with what is covered or affordable, then selecting medications based on patient characteristics (e.g., diabetes status, postmenopausal women), and using pills when injections are impractical or too costly.
What Comes After GLP-1 Success with Ken Fujioka
Q: GLP-1s, breakthrough or disruption?
Ken Fujioka answers that GLP-1s are a breakthrough, changing what's possible in weight loss, but he emphasizes the need to balance expectations with safety, maintenance, and lifestyle integration.
