Even when topics of obesity, nutrition, and food always show up in the news, still, for some reason, these topics are often misrepresented.

In this episode, Dr. Adrienne starts a new segment to review recent news about obesity, food, and nutrition. Here, she talks about a) the new FDA-approved medication for diabetes called tirzepatide which also has a positive impact on weight loss, b) pandemic weight gain, how it still affects us now, and what we can do about it, and c) the work that the Women’s Preventive Services Initiative does, especially on the prevention of weight gain in midlife for women.

What you will learn from this episode:

● Find out how the new medication for diabetes called tirzepatide helps not only in the treatment of type 2 diabetes but also in weight loss;

● Recognize that there is a true and clear physiological link between stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions and excess weight, which have greatly contributed to the increase in cases of weight gain during the pandemic; and

● Understand why women in midlife should start seeking counseling and guidance directed towards weight gain
“Let's not wait until we have gained weight or excessive weight in order to seek counseling and guidance to make the change. This is really important because prevention is key.”

– Dr. Adrienne Youdim

Valuable Free Resource:

Look at your weight as a data point. Just like blood pressure; just like temperature and heart rate.

● Don't have judgment about it.

● Don't use it as a character assassination.

● Instead, use that number in an actionable way, not to judge ourselves, not to discriminate against ourselves, but to use it as a tool towards motivating behavior change and greater health.

If you are a woman who is currently in your 40s to 60s, start seeking counseling, screening, and preventive services directed towards weight gain now.

● A little tip: food, movement, and sleep – all three of these are critical to maintaining healthy weight in the midlife.
