In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Michelle Gordon, a physician board-certified in obesity medicine and CEO of Thrive Span Medical, about obesity care for women in midlife. We discuss how GLP-1 therapy fits into long-term disease management, why slower weight reduction, adequate protein, resistance training, hydration, and fiber matter, and how hormonal changes may affect weight, cognition, and metabolic health. Dr. Gordon also explains when bariatric surgery remains appropriate and why obesity should be treated as a complex chronic disease. Listen now on all major platforms.
"You need the amount of protein to also fuel your muscles, but it has to be coupled with resistance training."
