Celebrate a transformative year with us as we reflect on the birth of an independent healthcare practice dedicated to your wellness journey. Our anniversary isn't just about looking back; it's about charging forward with enhancements to your podcast listening, expanding our nutrition program, and fearlessly navigating the insurance battlefield on your behalf. Our commitment is unwavering as we delve into the economic ramifications of obesity bias, demystify the roles of nutritionists versus dietitians, and provide clear answers on supplements like berberine and effective calorie management with GLP-1 treatments.
This episode isn't all talk; we walk the walk with Stacey's personal victory in her weight loss quest—a narrative that will fuel your motivation to take on healthy living, no matter the obstacles. As we examine the saga of Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk's pharmaceutical tug-of-war, we uncover how past biases inform present triumphs and trials. It's a tale of resilience, both in the industry and for individuals like Stacey, who illuminate the path to overcoming obesity with the right support and professional guidance.
Your knowledge will expand as we unravel the impact of GLP-1 medications on metabolism, revolutionizing weight management, and clarify the myths surrounding surgical robots.
