How GLP-1s Broke Diet Culture
For decades, we believed weight gain and weight loss were mostly about willpower, calories, and exercise. Today, we’re learning there’s much more happening beneath the surface. The biology that drives hunger, metabolism, weight gain, and long-term health is far more complex than we once understood.
In this episode, Dr. Chiadi Ndumele, preventive cardiologist at Johns Hopkins Medicine and a leader with the American Heart Association, explains why GLP-1 medications work, how weight, metabolism, and chronic disease are connected, and why the first-ever Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Clinical Practice Guideline represents a major shift in how we understand and treat weight-related disease. You’ll also hear a powerful patient story that shows why this new understanding is giving hope to millions.
In this episode:
- Why GLP-1 medications work when diets often don’t.
- What really drives weight gain, weight loss, and long-term weight management.
- How metabolism, hormones, genetics, and overall health work together.
- Why understanding your body can help you advocate for the quality care you deserve.
