Check out the Medical Weight Loss Summit, launching on October 15th, 2024, which I collaborated on with Dr. Talks!Link: Medical Weight Loss Summit — Dr. Francavilla ShowWhat’s changing in the field of obesity medicine?Keeping up with the changes in obesity medicine can be a bit tricky, which is why Dr. Mike Albert, a board-certified specialist in internal and obesity medicine and co-founder of Accomplish Health, is here to share his insights. Accomplish Health is a telehealth practice focused on providing comprehensive obesity care. When he's not working, Dr. Albert educates over 300,000 followers on social media about all things obesity.In this episode, Dr. Albert dives into the latest advancements in obesity care, especially the rise of GLP-1 medications. These new treatments are shaking things up and offering more effective options, but with big companies getting involved, there’s concern about whether quality care is getting lost in the rush for profit. He points out that these hormone-based therapies use hormones from the gastrointestinal tract to help regulate appetite and energy, and they’re actually more potent than the hormones our bodies naturally produce — all thanks to some cool advances in biotechnology.The discussion also covers how we’re shifting our view of obesity from just focusing on weight loss to recognizing it as a complex chronic disease with metabolic implications. It’s a big change that highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to treatment.If you’re curious about the latest trends and insights in obesity medicine, be sure to tune in to the latest episode.Check out Calocurb:Instagram: michaelalbertmdInstagram: accomplishhlthTiktok: michaelalbertmdWebsite: Accomplish HealthX: Michael "Mike" Albert, MDLinkedIn: Michael Albert MD Connect with me:Instagram: doctorfrancavillaFacebook: Help Your Patients Lose Weight with Dr. FrancavillaWebsite: Dr. Francavilla ShowYoutube: The Doctor Francavilla ShowGLP Strong: glpstrong.com

Check out the Medical Weight Loss Summit, launching on October 15th, 2024, which I collaborated on with Dr. Talks!Link: Medical Weight Loss Summit — Dr. Francavilla ShowEver wondered if there’s a plant-based appetite suppressant that mimics the GLP-1 mechanism?With the rising demand for GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound, the supply is struggling to keep up.In this episode, we welcome Dr. Ed Walker, who has a PhD from the University of Auckland focusing on the antioxidant effects of berry fruits. He now researches how plant compounds can enhance health, specifically investigating nature-derived appetite suppressants.Over the last 13 years, Dr. Walker has dedicated his work to exploring plant-based solutions that reduce hunger and promote healthier food choices. His efforts led to the development of Calocurb (Amarasate), a novel appetite suppressant derived from New Zealand hops, which shares some similarities with the GLP-1 mechanism.Join us as we discuss the discovery of this compound, its mechanisms of action, and its potential benefits. Dr. Walker also shares insights from several clinical trials investigating how hop extract influences appetite regulation and its potential as a natural supplement for weight management.Want to dive deeper into the science of plant-based appetite suppressants?

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today!Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com)Today, it's all about the debate surrounding the cost of obesity treatment. This issue is especially frustrating. Unlike other medical conditions, like heart attacks or cancer—which are treated without much hesitation despite their high costs—obesity treatment often faces scrutiny and resistance due to its price tag.To get past these challenges, we need to rethink how we approach obesity treatment. It's worth asking why we're quick to invest in treatments for other serious health issues, but hold back when it comes to obesity.A lot of this comes from the idea that people are "responsible" for their weight, leading some to believe the cost of treatment shouldn’t be covered. But to truly move forward, we need to rethink this approach.I’ve offered other key takeaways on this topic that can help navigate the many obstacles in obesity treatment. Tune in to the full episode for more. If you’re ready to take action and explore solutions, the Obesity Action Coalition is a great resource.

This perspective overlooks the fact that addressing obesity is not only about individual responsibility but also about ensuring equitable access to necessary medical care.To get past these challenges, we need to rethink how we approach obesity treatment. It's worth asking why we're quick to invest in treatments for other serious health issues but hold back when it comes to obesity. Changing this mindset could lead to better coverage and support for those who need treatment.For those interested in taking practical steps to address weight management, the Obesity Action Coalition offers valuable resources.

For weight management, they need reasons and justifications for their health choices.Obligers: They meet outer expectations but struggle with inner ones. They may excel with external accountability, making them responsive to support and encouragement in weight management efforts.Rebels: They resist both inner and outer expectations and thrive on spontaneity and freedom.
