Episode 30 of The Pound of Cure Weight Loss Podcast is titled, GLP-1 Supplement Scams.
In our In the News segment, we cover an article in Today titled, Poppi Prebiotic Soda Brand Faces Class-Action Lawsuit Over Gut Health Claims. Poppi is a brand of soda marketed as a prebiotic and this lawsuit is questioning the validity of the claim.
In our Patient Story segment, we talk to Graham who had a highest weight of 311 pounds. He opted for the gastric bypass and we included GLP-1 medications along the way. He is now comfortable sitting at 168 pounds. Not only did he embrace the medical treatments we offered but he also embraced strength training as another tool to help maintain that weight loss. His story is very poignant for anyone interested in sustainable weight loss.
In our Nutrition segment, we dive into another product review. Biocare is a supplement being marketed to GLP-1 users offering to, “Scientifically Help Reduce Side Effects, Preserve Lean Muscle Mass & Provide Essential Nutrition.” Does it work? Tune in to find out!
Anytime a new FAD diet emerges, the food, beverage, and service companies scramble to create products to fit the new trend. And, over the past year or so, we’ve seen this happen in the GLP-1 space. So, in our Economics of Obesity segment, we dive further into the growing market of GLP-1 supplements and services.
Finally, we answer 3 of our listeners questions including, our thoughts on Phentermine, when to start taking your vitamins post-op, and how to navigate the GLP-1 shortages.
